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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
ever meet Donna again (and I certainly wouldn't rule that out), she'll be CEO of a temping company, or she'll have found her parallel universe Lee and her happy, normal life, or both.
The last episode I was able to rewatch before 4.13 was Planet of the Ood. In it, an Ood
refered to Donna as "miss" and Donna got way upset. "Do I look like a miss? What makes you say "miss?" It pinged me because I, for one, knew I'd gotten fricking old when people started refering to me as ma'am. I feel all young and attractive when someone says "miss." Donna never did get married in "Runaway Bride" and she was only fake married in the library episode, which comes long after PotO. With all the timey-wimey stuff that kept happening to her, it made me wonder if some part of her knew she had been/would be married to Lee and it popped up here in her agitation. I'm way overanalyzing because I really want Fiona's scenario to come true.
grr...quick edit has killed my post. must try to remember what i said. back in five.
BSG: David Weddle and Bradley Thompson are leaving BSG to run c.s.i. (From Galactica Sitrep - and Jane Espenson is writing the BSG movie Edward James Olmos is directing - some casting spoilers at link. (Casting for the movie - nobody who hasn't been in BSG before.)
Who 4.13: OK, the Guardian review made me laugh, so here it is - Warning - spoilery, of course:

I liked this bit, 'cos she's talking about us:
"I can't, to be brutally honest with you, work out exactly what happened. The jargon-heavy mid-section rather did for my chances of keeping a grip on the minutiae, but that's nothing that three days on the internet forums won't sort out"
.
Casanova is horrified at the way his lifestyle has been twisted by his son, that for him it is just a fuck, and with very nihilistic overtones to that whole section.
I think his horror is more to do with the fact that Giac Jr. is knowingly fucking his sibling. i'm sure he feels a bit of disgust at knowing that Giac doesn't understand what it truly means (to him) to be Casanova, but i think his biggest problem with it is the incest.
of course, it's easy to understand that Giac Jr. has a warped sense of what love is and how to distinguish it from lust from just watching his father. so Giacomo is very much to blame for his son's cavalier attitude towards everything revolving around sex and showing one's emotion.
OK, the Guardian review made me laugh, so here it is
Hee! Wait, what
three-fold man prophecy
is she talking about?
I agree, Tiggy, but
I think that that's sort of symptomatic of the whole thing, like that was the final wake-up call for Giac Jr being, basically, a monster. And, of course, yes, it is ultimately his own fault (If there is anyone who has no business parenting, it's him). They drew very clear parallels between their childhoods, which is what makes the difference (amidst the similarities) in the outcomes even more striking
It's almost like
Angel and Spike (only backward)...I need a better example, though. That's not quite it.
$150?!? Oh, well, at least they include napkin rings.
