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

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.
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.
Oh my God, this is going to be such a meme.
I really ought to watch In the Loop.
I just got to the Spanish Moss on Sleepy Hollow! At first, I thought they were weeping willows, but no....
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.
One thing I do like about Sleepy Hollow is that so far 3 out of 5 (3out of 4 if you forget about Katrina) of the main characters are black, and the rest of the Sheriff's deparment are not all white.
But is Katrina a secret Quaker?
In spite of good moments, a hot mess. Also why the massive case of "tell don't show"?
Because Moffat?
Ok! Finally watched the Doctor Who... thing. Tried recording it last night. DVD player cut out when I turned off the TV. Missed the repeat this morning, looking after Ryan. Tonight I caught it. Basically agree with Hil and P-C.
I half expected Clara's grandmother to turn out to be named "Barbara Chesterton" or some such.
Ooh, that would've been nifty. Though I confess I'm already a little pissed off at how Clara's Impossible Girl thing is all about the Doctor rather than her. Maybe it's best that she at least get an independent ancestry.
I'm so glad I'm not really truly a big Doctor Who fan. Because that was... well. It was more of the same: lots of crap thrown at the viewer in the hope that we'll be all weepy and attached to the Doctor and not pay attention to the way the script is senseless.
I'm tired of everything being larger than life. Can the Doctor just, like, show up and save a little boy, or something? Why is it always the end of the universe at stake?
Also, how does it count as saving that planet when the residents all get killed in crossfire from Daleks? And how do the Silence team up with the Church of the Papal Mainframe? (Love the name of that church, though: that was awesome. As was Tessa.)
