Finally watched the latest Doctor Who. I thought it was a lot of fun, and I'm starting to sort of like Clara. I started out hating her.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

There was new Haven tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Teen Wolf is normally one of the shows I keep on my TiVo so I can re-enjoy it, but this week I have no memory of what actually happened in the episode. It took me a fair amount of time to remember I'd already watched it, and I can't remember if it made sense the first time. It makes none now.
"Do you know any other mantras?"
Derek, you could pretty much tell him to say 1-2-3 for all the value a mantra has. The mythology makes no sense.
Can beserkers teleport, BTW?

I'm so sad about the shift in Haven. No fun. Bye bye.

bonny, I don't think it's a permanent shift.

I dunno, sj. The 'this season' clips seemed pretty grim.
Sadly, it looks like Haven has become "Lost."

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood what you meant. The grimness is probably staying (which doesn't really bother me), but I think we might get Audrey back at some point or at least bits of her.

Yeah. I enjoyed it. And Emily Rose looks to me like she's having fun playing evil. One thing I'm afraid of: the angst when she turns good again will probably be annoying.

The main thing I got from the Teen Wolf finale was that Derek can finally turn into a full wolf, which I have been waiting for since the beginning of Season 2.

I think I understood why once with Teen Wolf since season 1. Why did Lydia need to get out of the basement? Why did Derek evolve? Why didn't Peter just kill Scott himself? Why does her mother take that tone of voice? Why could Liam talk Scott down? I pause to think why Kira and then realise--why Liam or Malia? An entire count of one fight seems to have been won over the span of the season?
Jeff Davis seems to think that writing words down justifies saying them.
