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.

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

I think this past episode of Doctor Who is going to end up having something to do with the Silence. The Doctor even said, "This is the silence at the end of time" to refer to the quiet in the future. Maybe the silence had to evolve to hide better after the Doctor's trick with the moon landing video? Pink being an astronaut in the future also made me think of the Silence.

Also, I think it is interesting that Clara continually lies to the Doctor throughout the episode. Usually it is the Doctor who lies.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I rather hope that we never get more explanation, as the explanation tends to be a let-down.

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

Same, although I fear we'll be revisiting the Monster Under the Blanket later in the season.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Aaaand, Listen continues the horrid soldier/killer casual insults that Clara seems to think is totally natural and without fault.

There is a whole debate here that is valid and not on-topic, but I'm having a hard time with how, with two episodes, a certain viewpoint is being held that to me makes Clara (but more importantly, the writers) a very ugly person (people).

I'm sorry that I bought a season pass. I don't think I can keep watching this.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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

So, in the end, what/who were we supposed to think was under Rupert's blanket? Another kid playing a prank?

My money is on "interfereing time travelers."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A Supergirl TV series has been green-lit, from the producers of Arrow and Flash.

I think he can make anything look good.
