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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And I also discovered that it was 100 times less annoying the second go-round.

Yeah, I found that I liked it better on a rewatch, too. Partly because the original watch was when I was very tired and missing things.

P-C, I hate to ask, but where are you finding 4x13?

The mini that is nova, as usual. For some reason, the seeders are lounging about, and it's taking forever.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

hmmm, I think then that I'll wait for my other source that should pop up later tonight.

Watching this fourth season back to back, it's rather quite horrific. And of course wonderful and totally enjoyable, but still, it seems so much darker than the past three seasons, but maybe that's the fuzzy and selective memory at work.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Waaaah! Stupid Who whitefont! Thbbbbpt.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Doctor Who 4x13

That was much better than the season 3 finale with plenty to love about it, but I'm cranky because I DO NOT like what they did to Donna at the end. Seriously, I almost wish she had a heroic death, because what we got was so freakin' cruel. Maaaaan.

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

Vonnie, I agree that DW 4x13 was tres cruel, but I thought it was effective and sadmaking, but I think Donna got to save the world and even though she'll never remember it, I think she's going to do much better this time round, much better than the AU of 4x12. I can kinda see why next season is going to be light because I can see as the doctor needs to mourn, because he's in big time denial.

Taunting taunters.

I just had a Eureka flashback - of Jack and Henry saying, "Why does this look like me?"

"It's generic."

Totally has nothing to do with anything, except that I was watching some SG-1 clips and pondering Jack Carter as the love child of Jack and Sam... maybe the interlude in 1969 lasted longer than was shown... Kinda sorta the two Jacks have a similar shape of head and face, might be twisted into a family resemblance.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Who 4X13: Bless Russel and his romantic fan-boy heart.

DW 4x13

ita, I really hoping that would be the case, because the notion of Donna ending back exactly where she was, all her personal growth earned during her travel negated, is too wretched to be borne. Man, there are going to be SO MANY fix-it fic to this episode. I don't read DW fanfic usually, but I may make an exception in this case.

Vonnie, I think it was in your LJ that I read that in DW 4x12 Rose getting miffy at Martha was fanservice on RTD's part. So...what is it? What do the fans want? A Rose who deserves a Doctor, or one who's pissy? From my reading I thought RTD didn't like fan opinion anyway, but I'm out of touch.

I'm with Vonnie and ita.

Also, I think Catherine Tate owns a part of my soul.
