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.

Compassionately intolerant

bt, thanks for thinking of me. I've seen The Slap. It was truly compelling. Made me think a lot about my couple's counseling clients. So many layers.

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 need a rewatch because I couldn't understand a lot of what Capaldi was saying. I just suck at understanding accents.

Huh. I couldn't even hear him as Scottish for some reason. Tennant in Broadchurch was far more impenetrable to me. But I've been watching Capaldi since Local Hero and Lair of the White Worm so I may just be used to his voice, though it has gruffed up a bit since those days.

Hard to believe he's the same actor that was in Lair of the White Worm!

And he directed Richard E. Grant in the Oscar winning short Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life!

Never seen him in his signature role on that political show though.

Hard to believe he's the same actor that was in Lair of the White Worm!

Yet Hugh Grant looks almost exactly the same!

Hugh Grant made a pact with the devil. How else would have gotten away with everything?

I didn't realize Capaldi was in Lair of the White Worm. I haven't seen that flick since it came out so now I'll have to see it again. I'd also forgotten all about the movie Local Hero - maybe I'll check that out again too.

On rewatch I've decided I love Capaldi's take on the Doctor. And I liked Clara a lot more this episode as they've given her more to do. Love her interaction with the Doctor.
