Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

say something about

Yes. Donna did. She started saying something about the binary whatever (talking about the chameleon arch) and that's when she started spazzing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maybe when he originally builds it the chamelion circuit works, but then it breaks and gets stuck as a police box.

When Doctor Who first aired were police boxes still in use or were they already antiquated?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I recall correctly, he originally landed in a junkyard.

No, they were still in use. I remember seeing them around in the '70s, and there was one on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh which was there for ages and might even still be. Of course, they had Doctor Who overtones already, even then.

Hah! The one in Edinburgh is still there!

If I recall correctly, he originally landed in a junkyard.

Yep! Which is what got Susan's teachers interested to check it out, because why would a police box be inside a junkyard? That's how they became his first human companions.

I always loved the Sylvester McCoy Dalek ep (Resurrection of the Daleks? Was that the title?), because it was a complete callout to the first episode, taking place a matter of weeks after it did and having all sorts of wonderfully traditional Who moments in it.

Just how long has Donna been gone? How much time has passed on earth that she's going to think her friends are making things up about?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, Trudy, she'll have forgotten everything back to her wedding, which was Christmas before last, so a year and a half or so.

Actually, I'm wrong she'll just have forgotten the wedding itself, maybe. Although, given that she seemed to be actively looking for the Doctor when we meet her again, it's likely that she'd forget much of that year.
