'A Hole in the World'


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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm pretty sure you at least see Sam step into the magic hand-wavy thing. Don't you? Or do you learn the story when Al shows up?

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

I don't remember seeing him step in.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Neither do I.

Maybe in the opening explanation/theme but not before the teaser.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Okay, I see now that the title of the ep is "Right Hand of God" which is the second disc, and that the player refuses to play the first disc which has Genesis et al on it. Grrr.

Art Crawl!!!

Victor - my understanding is that yes, we will be getting a first half of season 4 dvd and then a second half. Sadly, there have been no updates as to when - but I suspect in will be in December.

Ach, that sucks. Is it scratched, dirty or just plain bad?

It's the Watch Instantly, so it's streaming, but it seems that Netflix has the second disc streaming for *all* three discs of the first season.

And speaking of laying groundwork in Doctor Who, hoo boy! I can't believe that the bees were mentioned *twice* in the first two episodes, as were stolen/lost planets.

It's so fun and awesome!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Have just finished watching Season 2 of Torchwood.

Loved. It.

Want Season 4 of Doctor Who now! Want! Wantwantwantwantwant!

....and do you have any IDEA how many months of nagging it took before the DVDs were finally available for Season 3 here? Months and months and months and months. Curse it!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Just got to the fourth episode of season four, with the Sontarans, and found another tidbit relating to DW 4x12: the atmos device had those spiky things that were hidden 1 second out of sequence with the rest of time, like the Medusa Cascade/27 planets !

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh. Excellent catch, Juliebird.
