Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just saw Dr. Who's Blink last night.

I fear that my next reaction to statues would be gazing them with horror in my eyes, mumbling "you don't understand, I have to look at them. They'll kill me if I won't".

I'm still freaked out, but they're very cool creatures.

Edit: someone will have to remind me not to post without having enough caffeine in me in the future.

“Not dead yet!”

That was easily one of the most freaktastic eps I've seen. I can't remember the last time I was so unbelievably creeped out.

'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"

I would so buy a weeping angel statue for my garden if I saw one on offer.

Same.

Actually, I'd like to get two in slightly different poses, just for the opportunity to play some serious mind games with any Who fans who might be visiting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Every time I see that style of statue in the background of another show, I want to shout "Look out, [character]! Don't blink!"

I don't know you people. I'm both creeped out and amused, and quite sure I'll never visit any one of you.

Then again, throwing a cat at my general direction would have the same effect on me, so it's a win-lose/lose-win situation.

Man. and I thought Buffistas are here to help me with life, not to get it more complicated.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

"Blink" encapsulates what I so very much love about Doctor Who--the ability to take bits of string and paper and random junk and plungers and make it scary as all fuck. That is a talent that ought to be properly appreciated.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Trust me, I fully appreciate stuff that make me shiver for days after encountering them.

Steven Moffat's writing is now on that list.
