Please tell me that Nick Frost is the new companion.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

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

Does Jilli watch Doctor Who? Because I think she will be quite pleases with one of the images from last night's episode.

I liked last night's Who much more than I expected.
I'm with Frank...Moffat did seem to be taking a page from Joss' book.
I was okay with the tear-jerking, actually.
The Cyberman's unusual voice tipped me to something happening...and I should have guessed, but THAT reveal really got to me.
Sniff.

I feel like Danny Pink was a far better person than this show deserved.
Why do I suspect the Xmas show may do...something with Danny?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm still mad about Osgood, but it was a pretty good finale. I fully expected them to bring Danny back somehow, so I guess I have to give them props for sticking to their guns...for now. I liked how his soldier story really came together in the end.

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

Certainly he was a better person than Clara deserved. Which I'm glad the finale didn't shy away from.

I liked Osgood, and thought she'd make a great companion. Conversely, her death scene was one of the best scenes in the episode. (Michelle Gomez's facial expressions are amazing.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ultimately though it was the Michelle Gomez show, and she was superb. And her scheme was as mad as ever. (I retain the hope that she'll be back. Killing the Master with her own weapon, I'm sure that'll work just fine.)
I suspect the device to have been programmed to teleport her to her TARDIS if ever fired her way.

I did not recognize Nick Frost. I need a bigger screen.

I want the Adventures of Cyber-Brigadier.
They could do a stand-alone or team him up with M. Vastra, Jenny, and Strax.
