Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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.

I'm watching an old First Doctor adventure, The Reign of Terror. There are a couple of missing episodes, which the BBC has animated. The animation of the Doctor looks uncannily like the witch from Spirited Away.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Nice to see Studio Ghibli artists are still getting work?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I did not know that Odin was an incarnation of Santa. Many families include beer and brawling in their mid-winter revelry already! They just don't realize they're celebrating Santa Odin.

It posted twice. I'll think of something else to say.

Ezekiel still isn't really coming together for me, but he was more fun this time. I don't know that I buy Eve being able to handle the Gift just because she was born on Dec 23, but whatever. Magic!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd have believed it if Eve was born on the 26th -- that would toughen you up.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Toddson, wasn't it weird what they did with Finn's character? It was a whole lot of WTF for me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Doctor Who: I thought one of the elves looked familiar but in looking him up (he was in Misfits), I discovered that the other elf (who I did not recognize at all) also plays Strax!

Compassionately intolerant

Doctor Who: I was so bummed that they said tangerine rather than satsuma!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I discovered that the other elf (who I did not recognize at all) also plays Strax!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat.

That was generally fun but holy God Moffat how many times can you use the same trick. (I actually kind of admire how many different variations and tweaks he's been managing on the same concept for years—and this one turned into something else entirely—but it's also kind of tiring.)

I was also mildly miffed that the lady scientists turned out not to be actual lady scientists. I liked Shona, though. She should find Clara and hang out.
