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.
About the Degree sponsorship in Eureka, that does not bother me so much as that corporate axewoman herself. So maybe it isn't as seamless as feeding E.T. some candies that just happen to be the amazing new Reece's Pieces, but I can kinda see it.
The meta of people gathered around to watch Lab 27 was cute, particularly as they appeared to be watching on the same model 'puter as I'm typing on now. I am going to assume that they aren't using the Leopard operating system - probably instead it's Mac's Eureka-special Sabretooth.
I'm really glad Henry is back. I missed him.
You know what else I miss? I miss CFerg coming around to comment on our comments.
BOOM!
Better.
Explosition is what Dr. Samantha Carter does before she gets more comfortable with guns. Nuclear explosition is what Major Carter did before they let her start playing around with Naquadria.
Explosition is what they had at the start of
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth,
with one character informing another character of things he clearly should know, even if we didn't.
I swear, it couldn't have been any MORE "As you know, Bob" without actually having had the words "As", 'You", "Know" and "Bob" at the front of it. (And it's not like they didn't have a small child around who could reasonably have asked "So what is it you guys do?" and been told! No, no, he had to tell his employer what they do! Ack! Mind you, props for making it clear from the get go precisely how astoundingly bad the movie was going to be.)

Brendan Fraser was on screen. Who cares what he was saying?
Explosition is Sam explaining how they're going to blow up a sun.
Surely blowing up suns is Rodney's job?
Yeah, Sam's got to have moved on to entire solar systems by now.
Actually, the reverse. Rodney's the one that detonated that Ancient zero point module MkII and blew up most of a system.
Though both of them worked with Jeannie Miller and made a device that could have potentially destroyed an entire parallel universe.
Who else has seen Music of the Spheres? Did I miss any discussion?
It is, admittedly, twee...but doG help me, I can't get enough of David Tennant these days. I'm sure the fever will pass soon.
I'll just go have a bit of a lie down...
Crap, just mainlined the final 4 episodes of
Doctor Who.
All tearful now.
Jesus. POOR Donna.
Loved having the whole 'gang's all here' thing, really did - oh, and bless Ianto and Gwen. (And yay for the shout out to Eve Myles' role in the Dickens episode! God, I
so
love that they did that in the finale of DW, and that they did the same thing in the TW finale for Naoko Mori's DW role in the Space Pig episode.)
Aw, wee Ianto just
killed
me with the look on his wee face when Jack was all 'I'm off to find the Doctor!' BLESS!
I think they did a great job of wrapping things up, actually. Glad to have the Rose storyline done and dusted, and all the Doctor/Rose shippers hopefully satisfied, and so whoever the next companion is should be a fresh start.
(Oh, God. Oh, poor Donna. I really, REALLY liked Donna. Catherine Tate did
such
a good job. She broke my bloody heart in those last few episodes.)
...aaaaand I'm crying again. God.
Anyway, yeah - such fun having old favourites returning - The Master last season, Davros this season. Fabulous, that.
Lots of stuff with cloning this season, wasn't there? And I do appreciate a nice bit of foreshadowing - bless them for throwing those things into the mix.
I don't think I can really express how very much I didn't like the giant cockroach monster on Donna's back. And I think it was
worse
invisible than visible. Ack. Really REALLY creepy, that.
Bernard Cribbins - bless him, he too kept breaking my heart. Go Team Wilf.
...OMG - I've just realised that Bernard Cribbins
was in the 1966 movie
Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150!!!
He was the main companion! Holy crap! How ON EARTH had I forgotten that?
