Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
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.
Wasn't eleven supposed to be the last incarnation? Maybe she didn't expect more after the Matt Smith face.
Technically, but we know that the 12th Doctor has been active in a fairly public way as himself in times prior to the ones River tends to frequent. I don't see how she could know the faces of all the Doctors she's (theoretically) never met, but not his.
She said, at one point, "he only has 12 faces, there are rules" (paraphrased)
Doctor Who Christmas special:
So this is supposed to be their last adventure before the library, right? That explains River looking at Tennant!Doctor and saying, paraphrased, "You look so young."
Of course, that doesn't track with her arriving at the library, not knowing it was her last meeting with him.
There's no need to whitefont.
I have browsed some of the timeline flowcharts and I I think I prefer not to think about it very hard - who knew what when is hard enough to keep track of without time travel.
Second viewing of Doctor Who offered a great entree to a female doctor. River says the Doctor reminds her of her second husband! Plus, the search code name was 'damsel.'
I usually find Matt Lucas a little grating, but he was super cute in this episode.
Plus also, I loved the cyborg's suggestions.
"Recommendation: Chiiiillll."
"Recommendation: Close your eyes."
HAH.
The Librarians: a lot to like in this one, too. I did glimpse a blue box and a Delorean (with appropriate musical references) unser some of those sheets, yes?
