To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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 responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Eh, I kind of think the joke is overdone. Would have been great if not EVERYONE said it. I felt the same way during the Christmas Invasion. By the time it got to the payoff (when the bad guy said it) I was already tired of it.

But that's just me and my own humor sensibility.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oh Nora. I'm so disillusioned now (LOVED Harriet Jones).

Honestly, I'm more curious how Sarah Jane can get out of her predicament than the Doctor.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Actually, the wrongest thing that stood out for me was Sarah Jane snivelling and pleading for her life. She has far more bravery than that, you know?

move out and draw fire

Finally got back to Avatar after a brief hiatus, with Tales of Ba Sing Se, Appa's Lost Days, and Lake Laogai.

I was a total wreck. Mallory said, "I don't want Green Avatar any more! I don't want to cry ever again! I want Blue Avatar!" And called it "Lake Loudguy."

My plans for Zuko are coming along nicely...but man oh man.

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.

I had the impression that was not just about her, but about her need to be there to take care of Luke. If the Daleks kill her, Luke has no one to take care of him other than Mr. Smith and K-9. And I felt she hoped the pleading might make her look more like a standard-issue human, rather than one associated with the Doctor, a last-ditch effort to let her stay alive to look after her son.

I love Harriet Jones too! But as more than that punchline thrown at us again and again and again and again.

Did the people who torrented the Doctor get the British promos too? Or were you guys promo-free?

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

The BBC usually has promos, (and the announcer quite politely warns viewers when the promo contains major spoilers), but I don't recall seeing one for the last episode. It didn't need one.

NBC has the Chuck comic-con panel up.

What Tom said. They usually do promos on the BBC EXCEPT for before the last episode. Which was excellent decision making.
