Giles, help! He's going to scold me!

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Peter Capaldi is also a long-time friend and former band mate of Craig Ferguson.

This could get interesting.

I half expected Clara's grandmother to turn out to be named "Barbara Chesterton" or some such.

Something tells me her meetup with Clara's grandfather is a plot point.

Other notes:

- It appears the Doctor's Regeneraton count has been reset to 1 or 0?

- Both Matt Smith and Karen Gillian were wearing wigs. Her's was her own hair!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

In spite of good moments, a hot mess. Also why the massive case of "tell don't show"?

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

My assumption is that "A new cycle of regenerations" means 12 more. Or an infinite number more, because, television.

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've heard the Walgreens on Gallifrey sells regenerations by the dozen.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just watched. It felt all wrong. The pacing was weird, the storytelling was weird, and there were some good moments, but overall, that just didn't hold together.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh my God, this is going to be such a meme.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I really ought to watch In the Loop.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just got to the Spanish Moss on Sleepy Hollow! At first, I thought they were weeping willows, but no....

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I was really glad there was the Amelia Pond cameo, and her brief appearance just underscored how much I don't care about Clara. But yes, I teared up at "Goodnight, Raggedy Man."

I'm sure Capaldi is going to be a brilliant Doctor, but I'm also sure that Eleven is always going to be MY Doctor.
