This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Mal ,'Objects In Space'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

They don't have the same birthday though. At least not from their passports.

Oh, good - I must have remembered that wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are their relative ages?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Looks like they were all born March-April '84, according to the chart Delphine found in Cosima's secret stash of clone info.

Compassionately intolerant

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Have they gone back on tradition and retconned in the possibility that William Hartnell's Doctor wasn't his original incarnation?

The status is NOT quo.

I think he's the doctor who actually caused the destruction of the Time Lords. A skipped doctor (the real 9?).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Pix, I was thinking the same thing.
