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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think I'll pony up the money for Acorn. They give a free month, Hulu does a free week.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm excited about Missy because it's Sue White from Green Wing ! But I agree that the scene left me sort of baffled, confused, and not really wanting to see more. We'll see where she goes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hulu does a free week.
Really? I thought they did a free month. Boo. Regardless, we have to pony up for Hulu once fall shows premiere, because we don't have a DVR and we're going to have too many shows, especially on nights when we have standing commitments. It'll end up being cheaper than buying episodes on iTunes. (Our DVD player streams Netflix and YouTube; I wish it streamed Hulu.) (Hey, maybe I should see if there's a software update for the DVD player. Maybe it'll have Hulu.)

the First Doctor, the only other Doctor played by someone over 50
Very late to this but: Pertwee was also over 50.
I rewatched; Capaldi is even better the second time around. In a way I find it a bit of a drag that Doctor always has to be all weird and unpredictable immediately post Regeneration, but I suppose it lets an actor settle in. If the Doctor we saw in the final scene, after he's finished redecorating the Tardis and chosen his outfit; if that's Twelve then that's fine with me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I was re-watching with my brother (fun conversation: Is there a canonical for "in this fic, one of them is a lizard" answer: Apparently not). My concern with Missy is that she's gonna be one of those "personification of fandom" characters and it's going to be awful and cringe-inducing.

Defiance is two episodes again tonight and it's also the finale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Extant: whoever that little kid is, he's out acting the Oscar winning actress. She's awful. And the escape from the basement scene was extra awful.
Enver, OTOH, is a sexy little minx.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Enver's on Extant? I was not taking that into account. Hm.
