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.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

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.

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.

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.

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

DW 4x08 so somewhere in the Doctor's future, his far far future, far enough that River Song seeing him now he looks young to her, he'll meet her when she's younger, probably some bored listless housewife just waiting to have her life made special by his presence (um, harsh! Not what I meant, I think, maybe). That or she doesn't learn about his regeneration, and he regenerates into an older body. But then she didn't give any indication that she recognized him in a different body, like other characters have done (Jack?)
Also, she has such a Mary Sue name, not that I think the character has reached that level in actions. But maybe I just like the actress.

DW 4x08: River Song and Doctor Moon... how lyrical. I was also put off by the perfect bog standardness of the little girl's house. How do they untangle that one, that the CPU at the core of the Thermon Lux planet is some chick in 21st century London?
I got the very fixed impression that she recognised this incarnation of the doctor. She seemed that sort of specific. Recognising the Doctor in general is portrayed differently.
