'Beneath You'
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.
Clara was 'saving' the Doctor, not because she's this Impossible Girl whose sole point in the story is protecting his timeline, but simply because here's a scared little kid and who wouldn't?
Yep, the AV Club review pointed that out too, which was nice because I had the former aspect in my head before that.
I liked not knowing what was under the blanket...though I and my watch-buddy commented that the blurry figure looked a bit like a small Santaran...all potato-y.
I felt the point was in the not knowing.
Clara has already been seen to show up everywhere in the Doctor's life, so why would his life on Gallifrey be any different?
simply because here's a scared little kid and who wouldn't?
This really resonated with me because her expression didn't look like 'oh crap, I'M the scary thing under the bed' but a realization that it could be seen that way and her real purpose was to be helpful.
I truly enjoyed the date banter/fail. So awkward and real...at least based on my own dating experience. And the Doctor's whimsical ramblings about three mirrors and eyes out to here and just turn your head, really charmed me.
I really liked this episode, and I liked both Clara and the new Doctor at the same time. Which is a first for me.
I am as one with sj.
I am with -t.
Way to go to get me to retroactively hate an important part of the episode--if it's just some kid in Rupert's room, I get mad at the writers.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the issue if who was under the blanket AND who wrote "listen" on the chalkboard will be revisited later in the season.
I am all caught up on re-watch/finishing Agents of Shield and Sleepy Hollow. (Started them both, but was bored by first 4 eps of Shield, and then just lost track of time with SH.)
Just need a re-watch of the last few eps of SPN, and I am ready for fall TV!
I saw an ad last night about Sleepy Hollow's new season beginning next Tuesday. Not sure I'm ready.
What time is Sleepy Hollow? Because if it's opposite Shield, Shield wins.
SHIELD (I know this is the wrong thread, but I'm not discussing the show content, just a factoid about broadcast) also starts next Tuesday.
What time is Sleepy Hollow? Because if it's opposite Shield, Shield wins.
SHIELD moves to 9 pm Eastern, IIRC. (Which is good, because once The Flash premieres [I want to say October 8?], it's on Tuesdays at 8 pm.)
