'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
Thoughts on the new Wallace and Grommit movie:
t spoilers
Fabulous wee comical details for the win! Grommit for the win - arguably the best acting ever seen from a small clay dog evah. Grommit getting some love interest - for the win! Fat lady being bitter and evil because she's fat... rather less for the win.
Who special now available for ahemmage.
Fay, I feel like I was waiting my whole life to see a giant steampunk robot stomp on London.
It was a pretty entertaining romp, definitely better than last year's.
Very right, P-C.
The Steampunk Robot rocked.
Christmas Who: Oh, I really enjoyed it. I loved David Morrisey, I thought he brought some much-needed warmth and anti-cynicism. I also enjoyed the Doctor having a companion who was not a younger female (I know Donna wasn't "younger" - it was one of the things I liked about her too - though technically they're all younger, but... oh you know what I mean) .
Did anyone else really like the Infoport thingy showing all the other Doctors? Given that the new series usually references the previous incarnations only obliquely, I loved that this was completely explicit .
Does anyone know if/when the "Who" Christmas special will air here? Not a big one for aheming.
Also, am now fully caught up on "Battlestar Galactica." And ... wow. That's all I gotta say.
Neither SciFi or BBCA say anything about airing the Doctor Who special/s. Sciffy's schedule shows episodes of season 4 and season 2 airing through the end of January.
Well, last time we got Christmas in April. (I'm rewatching my tivoed BSG and seeing the Who promos.)
I'm so glad Who aired. Now to watch it myself. Also--I no longer have buyers remorse about the SG-1 set. Rewatching it has reminded me that it was some damn fine entertainment.
Also, am now fully caught up on "Battlestar Galactica." And ... wow. That's all I gotta say.
What a ride, eh?
I got a great kick out of the Christmas Who. I loved the steampunk Cybership, I loved David Morrisey as a potential Doctor. He had a warmth and charm I would have totally accepted as the eleventh Doctor even if it hadn't been a misdirect. And I, for one, didn't see enough of the trailers to know that it was. It was only when the fob watch fell apart and then the Doctor pulled out the stethoscope to check his heart(s) that I started having some suspicions that he wasn't. And I adored the balloon TARDIS! For me, the show had a good balance of slapstick and emo. It wasn't necessarily the most well written episode, but it hit all the right buttons at all the right times.
Defintely goes in the win column.
