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.

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

Hmmm. Helen Mirren's about the same age and has no qualms about being an action heroine. Shame she's shot down the idea of gunning for the role herself.

That is true, and she would be awesome in the role.

Meanwhile, a tweet concerning the Master reveal:

BUT THE MASTER AND DOCTOR KISSED WHY COULDN'T THIS HAPPEN BACK WHEN IT WAS JOHN SIMM AND DAVID TENNANT WHY WHY W H Y

Opinions, this person has them.

Yet another opinion about Missy Master - feel the force of his compelling logic:

The Master being a woman is idiotic. The Doctor and The Master are men. The Rani and Romana are women. End of. What next - K9 turning into a cat?

The more I think about it, the more hilarious K9 as a cat becomes.

Meanwhile, this is a compelling argument against... something. Half-measures maybe. [link]

(My first thought was "I bet Roger Delgado could pull off that look.")

I keep coming back to Miracleman's COMM'd cat comment:

"Now I'm trying to come up with an alphanumeric way to indicate that I am poinging sideways away from NOTHING WHATSOEVER and that my pupils are freakishly dilated to twice the size of my head."

That's a K9 I want to see.

If K-9 were a cat Sarah Jane would have been a goner ages ago.

I'm horrible for snickering at that.

I thought The Mistress did a great job mirroring the crazy/manic energy of SimMaster.

Though, I got the impression from 10 that The Doctor would somehow know the Master, even in another incarnation. It seemed odd that he was so totally taken off guard.

Not sure why it bugs me, but I wish they'd come up with a better name than Missy. Even Misty would have been better...though that might have been too close to the nose.

I would pay folding money to see K9 as a Kitty. Give him some 'nip and he's craxier than Dalek Kahn!

While you're at it, does not Dalek Kahn deserve some 'nip? Purely medicinal of course.

I'm still loving K9 the cat. "Hey, you! Yes, the one with the scarf. Have we met before? Ok, never mind about that. I'm bored. Go fetch that robot parrot thing I killed once. I want to bat it around some more. No, the parrot thing. Belonged to Captain Shouty. Pushed you off a cliff. God, that was funny. ...Well I don't see why you're complaining. You pushed Romana off a cliff next adventure, you don't really have much high ground there. Probably fall off it if you did. There's an epitaph for you. Name: Doctor Scarf. Nemesis: heights. None of which is fetching my dead parrot."
