DCJ, I disagree about the timing in DW 408: She's not meeting him ahead of time in *her* personal past--just in his, much like Sally Sparrow in Blink.
Yeah... That went well.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
DCJ, I know the little girl is CAL. That much is obvious. But that doesn't really give me the whole story of how CAL works and operates. And what Dr. Moon is and how he knows what's going on and why he's telling her. A failsafe program?
And, yeah, I agree with ita on the timing. And her very appropriate example.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
DW 4x08 I had a vague unintelligible thought on how they are in the biography section, so many people saved but there are no bodies, that they were in fact turned into books, into their own personal biographies, and the little girl is stuck in her own fictional biography and... then I got nothing.

Bad Wolf
Has anyone watched the BBC series wire in the blood.
I just saw a promo for it and was wondering if it was any good.

All is well that ends in pizza.
ita, I meant she is meeting him before they "officially" the first time in her time line. The question is now will he remember her from this encounter when she meets him for the first time in his future? His mind does get scambled a bit with regenerations, sometimes.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
DW 4.08:
But Daniel, hasn't she already met him several times in her own timeline? It's their first time meeting in *his* timeline, but not hers.
I agree with ita & P-C that the rules about not touching the shadows bugged; they way it was filmed, *everything* looked so dark that it seemed like they were almost always in one shadow or another. I just had to shrug & let it go after a while.

Okay, I'm low on brain fluid right now. I know what I want to say but I'm not saying it right or the fact I hadn't eatne in 8 hours dropped my glucose like a rock and even my clarification was muddy.
Presently eating a salad and contemplating a Tomato-basil flat bread wrap of some kind.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wire in the Blood is good, especially if you like Robson Green playing slightly crazy. Which seems to be his schtick.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm with Dana.

I adore Robson Green, I love him crazy, and I love his lack of function in Wire In The Blood. Damned shame they didn't go as far as the books did, but still.
DCJ--if what you say you're saying is what you mean, then that's what I disagree with. Her timeline is pristine, just saddening to her.
