A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I really admire how Alison being the comic relief doesn't undercut how sad her situation is.
I'm of two minds about Sarah's specialness being tied to her ability to have biological children - one the one hand, ugh, come on sci-fi get another goddamn trope, but on the other hand, producing cloned animals with the ability to breed is an actual science problem in the real world, so it makes sense that it would come up with humans. What we don't know yet is if Sarah is a surprise success story, or if all the clones were supposed to be sterile, and she's not because some guy in the lab went rogue and flipped on some genes he wasn't supposed to. (And then faked her death to get her out of the lab?) Probably the latter.
I figure we've got about five minutes before Kasima (sp?) thinks it would be more fun to be running this experiment than being a part of it.
I hope we bring Art into the inner circle soon, too. I'm not a fan of police investigations where you have someone to question right there but say "No, let's hold off on that" because the writers don't want that conversation to happen until the next ep.
Further - there was some discussion that they knew she wasn't Beth after samples were taken. How?
Guess we find out later, but I think it is related to her pregnancy.
What if John Hurt is Doctor 0...the one before John Pertwee
Do you mean the one before William Hartnell?
Also, please don't whitefont total speculation. There's no need for it and it's confusing.
One thought occurred to me - Sarah could still be the original if she was an IVF baby and they cloned the others from her at the blastocyst stage. (It also occurred to me that it's silly for all the clones to have the same birthday unless they were all born by c-section, because pregnancy doesn't work like that. 9 babies conceived on the same day aren't all going to be born simultaneously.)
They don't have the same birthday though. At least not from their passports.
Oh, good - I must have remembered that wrong.
What are their relative ages?
Looks like they were all born March-April '84, according to the chart Delphine found in Cosima's secret stash of clone info.
Do you mean the one before William Hartnell?
That is what I meant, Jon. I can see the other prospects for where the character might fit in the timeline.
I just hope it is resolved in a way that makes sense. I'm so bad at keeping time travel straight.
Have they gone back on tradition and retconned in the possibility that William Hartnell's Doctor wasn't his original incarnation?
