It's not a spoiler to reveal who's in a prequel, right?

Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I would say, in this instance, very much yes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, that was super exciting.

Compassionately intolerant
Nifty!
It was much better produced than I expected.
Also, nice to see that particular Doctor exhibit more gravity than was present in previous appearances.
Nice one, writers and producers.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hah. I came here to post it, too.
Several hours late, Daniel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apparently, a whole bunch of audio dramas just became canon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I assume all those names he listed were Companions from the audio drama, then?
Interesting that John Hurt is referred to as "the War Doctor." So he's like Doctor 8.5, so we don't have to change the numbering for everyone? And since this was potion-induced, it doesn't count as one of his thirteen regenerations?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I'm pretty sure that last bit of original canon has been handwaved/retconned/whatever into irrelevance.
Also, that was awesome.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That was delicious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Debet, that's still being vigourously debated in places like IO9, and I seem to remember a showrunner comment about it coming up to this next one.
