Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

'Serenity'


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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IF it was a promo on TV, it's fine.

I just...I hate being faced with a wall of whitefont with the suspicion I might even already know some of it, and could read more without getting spoilt, but instead staying out of the conversation.

Whitefonting seems pretty random right now. It's be easier, I swear, if it wasn't allowed--if it needed white fonting, it belongs in the next spoiler thread down. In clear text.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

IF it was a promo on TV, it's fine.

Well, the one I posted was being called (as of yesterday, when I posted it) a "Facebook exclusive." So not on TV. Would that make it whitefonty?

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

Question - aside from watching on BBCA, what are the other official venues for obtaining eps of New Who. I'm looking at trimming my cable package and DW and Orphan Black are the only things I'd miss. It may be cheaper in the long run to get eps off iTunes or somewhere.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Anne, I'm pretty sure it is a available on hulu plus.

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

The current season is not available on Hulu Plus, but it can be purchased from Amazon (I believe eps are available next-day).

Unfortunately there is no free legal way to watch anything off of BBCA without a cable subscription.

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.

And even if you have BBCA subscription that gives you legal access, on demand access is held off until all rebroadcasts are complete

Signed Have to wait until Saturday for second episode, either way.

I don't mind waiting a day or two. I did the math and realized it may well be cheaper to buy the 2 BBCA shows I watch for the brief run of time they're on than to pay every month for a whole bunch of cable channels I never use.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can actually buy that as a post-Time War thing.

Kinda seemed like a decision he had come to right then after the Dalek saw hatred at his core, to me.

I can completely buy this.

What I have a hard time buying is that the Doctor somehow missed that fixing the Dalek would make it hateful again.

Even though I don;t do FB, I consider that broadcast.

I don't think that FB is broadcast. You have to look for it (or follow it, or like it), just like a post on IO9 or whatever.
