Spike ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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 kinda liked the way that Sarah took down the guard, only thing I liked about the ep, actually.
Yeah, that was pretty sweet.
I wonder if he died because he had some sort of artificial heart or something that didn't "travel" well.
Looked to me like he'd been shot right before jumping.
I liked Cameron writing the barcode. I wonder how they got that shot. It was so tidy.
The future John thing makes sense.

Oh, yeah, that was awesome. That would take some incredibly motor skills.
Clearly there are benefits to being on the run from killer robots from the future that I had not considered.
Not to mention: Sarah sends John off to school. So is he still John Baum at his old school? And if so, won't they be confused, as he's the kid whose house just blew up with some bodies in it. Or he's in a new school, in which case--paperwork?
This one didn't make a ton of sense, I must admit. And John was not selling his teen angst for me.
I did however like the exchange at the end between Sarah and Cameron. "Am I just going to go off one day?" "Am I?" That was cool.
But I hate the credits. Whyfor the terrible manly voiceover? Why not LH's voice? Bah, I say. Bah.
I guess, since Cameron was back on "their" side, they decided that the safe identities they'd previously created could be used -- hence enough instant money to instantly rent a furnished house and send John to school.
(Now I REALLY want them to have to flee to Louisiana, and rent a house next door to the Riches. I want a bonding scene between Sarah and Shirene....)
Psst, Cindy. Did you really mean to use the word "phased" (as opposed to fazed) in this line from the TWOP recaplet:
Fargo and Alison no longer seemed phased by Stark's death.
Frank, I used phased on purpose, because of the title.
And then, did you mean "reckless" or are you being all literarical in this post above:
No. That was just stupidity. Eek. But thanks, Narrator.
The full "Phased and Confused" recap is now up. There are plenty of errors in it, too. I just sent an e-mail to the editorial staff.
Interesting Guardian blog piece about Russell T. Davies and Doctor Who, with some speculation about possible future actors to play the Doctor. (I like the Harry Lloyd suggestion a lot, despite the fact that he's way too young...)
The new RTD book - actually a series of email exchanges - the piece refers to can be found here.
Cindy, I loved your recap!
More! Moar!
See, there was plenty to snark on whilst keeping the love.
So, like, Zoe/Zane could be, like, Zone. Or ZZ. *flees*
In reading those RTD e-mails, I see that Dennis Hopper is a Who fan and wanted to be on the show. He was originally going to be Mr. Copper in the Titanic ep, but wasn't available for the days necessary to film.
While I delight in Russell's original plan for this year's xmas episode, I'm glad it got kiboshed. It would have been a terribly shark-jumpy moment.
Whitefont for the not yet reads: JK Rowling fighting creatures of her own creation .
On one hand, clever! On the other, oh no. It would have been a fanpocalypse. Wonder why Tennant vetoed it though.
