Oh, thanks, quester. I meant to watch that but had it in my head it was not airing yet.

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.

I think it got overshadowed by the Childhood's End mini-series that debuted at the same time.

That I do not intend to watch unless someone tells me it's amazing. I just don't see what I liked about the book working on tv.

The visuals and the performance for Karellen are great, but the plot falls short of the novel by a long way.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I never read Childhood's End, but I did watch the miniseries. I enjoyed parts 1 & 2, but the conclusion didn't really grab me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought Childhood's End was just awful. I saw the first two episodes and had no desire to continue.
Expanse I watched the pilot of way back in the fall and LOVED it. But then I forgot to remember when it was actually on the air, so now I guess I have to catch up online.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The first 4 episodes are online...of The Expanse.
I heard about it at the nerd family christmas party from one of my nephew-in-laws.

Peter Capaldi is a more amazing actor than I thought—he just sold me on the Doctor and River Song as a couple.

Compassionately intolerant
Truth to tell, I've never been that big a River Song fan (except for in the Library) but I absolutely loved Alex Kingston and Peter Capaldi together.
The only thing I didn't like about this special was that she didn't recognize him. How is that possible when every OTHER time, she's known him straight away, regardless of his face.
Perhaps this was explained, but I seem to have missed it.

Pretty much my reaction, Matt.
I think she just didn't really look at him until she did.
