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.
Can I brag for a moment? (Who 12) I totally
immediately recognized Harriet Jones' voice. And I called the bees. I'm feeling very good about myself right now. I think partly because I'm living in the land where no way can Sarah Jane be dead for reals and always (and Gwen and Ianto), so they'll have to undo it (for whatever value of "it"), and, this show being this show, that'll mean that Rose has to go back. I have no idea what's up with Donna.
Unexplained bits, then:
the whatsits key Martha's got (like that's not going to be used); Why/how Donna is so special; the 1 second out of sync; what the Daleks are doing with the humans (officially).
Him staying regenerated doesn't make sense, to me, with River. I can't imagine if she never knew him with that face it not being an immediate, "Oh, shit."
They like to
pull back in plot elements from earlier in the season. We've gotten the verbal call-backs (similar to Saxon and Bad Wolf), but I don't think there were any plot device recalls. I really think something from the library eps will come back, but I can't figure what or how.
See, Deb, I took
River's lack of "oh shit" to be her knowing that when she met him, he could have been an earlier or later regeneration of the regeneration that she personally knew. But, then again, I dunno.
Which channels are running SJA, Frank? Is Sciffy one, at all?
It WAS airing before Doctor Who on Sci-Fi during the season for a number of weeks, but I've had the eps DVRd for ages, so I'm afraid it's ahemming or DVD for catching them at this point.
DW4.12: Hub sez,
so they're gonna DDOS the Daleks?
Guess I'll have to get my ahem on then. And set my TiVo to watch for it when it comes back.
DebetEsse -- re: your last paragraph. I will not be surprised if we
see the Doctor's daughter next week.
Jon,
after Davros said something to the Doctor about not having any family left, I thought "wanna make a bet?" I won't be surprised either, but I'm sure gonna hoot and holler when she shows up, anyway!
Who 4x12:
I would not put it past RTD to
have Donna to be the owner of a special watch, one her "grandfather" holds for her.
Maybe
Donna is Susan, the doctor's granddaughter. Marooned on Earth during the time war and hiding regenerated and "humanized" as Donna. It would be sad to find out Grampa Noble is not her real grampa, tho.
Cripes, Daniel.
I just watched the first 5 episodes of classic Who yesterday. I would have never thought of that! But I haven't seen enough of the older episodes to have any clue what might have happened to Susan. I mean, when I saw her, it was all a "but Buffy doesn't have a sister!" moment.
It would
definitely explain the second heartbeat effect they've been playing with for Donna.
DW 412:
I've heard the fobwatched Donna spec in blogshere! Interesting notion, especially with those prominent heartbeats. Also fits with the sly comments throughout the season about the Doctor not being alone -- I thought that was in reference to Jenny, but if there is yet another Time-Lord hiding in Donna, that'd also fit. I don't know that much of Old School Who, but people also mentioned Romana, who IIRC was a Time-Lady back in the days of Fourth Doctor.
