This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

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)

DW Xmas special:

I enjoyed it- many nice moments, I loved the watch callback, the Next Doctor was marvelous, the villianess was beautiful and awesome. Silliness? Oh yes. But I never expect the plot to make much sense. I love Doctor Who for its little moments and the fact that I just love these people.

Also, they break my heart.

Also also, I loved the Doctor being the companion for the first bit of the episode.

Love. But I'm soooo easy that way with this show. Except the season finales.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was just having a fun time trying to explain Capt. Jack's backstory and immortality to my BIL, who's only seen most of S2 of Torchwood and then bought the S1 set and is mostly through that one, but has seen no eps of Doctor Who. (He watched "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" only because of James Marsters--he's a big Buffy/Angel fan--and got sucked in.)

I went with "a 51st century conman who started out in the Time Agency, whatever the hell that is, and became immortal through the actions of Rose, the Doctor's companion, who brought him back to life after he was killed by a Dalek and he came back immortal. After the end of S1 of Torchwood, he showed up in a few eps of S3 of DW, and tried to figure out why he was immortal and if he could change that, and the Doctor pretty much shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do." If he wants more details, I can send him S1 of DW and copies of the S3 eps, since he's already got both seasons of Torchwood. He's yet to see "Adam," but he did see the finale, so he's got some of the brother stuff.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I don't know how to link it so b.org gets the affiliate credit, but I saw some really good deals on dvds over on Amazon. Supernatural seasons 19.99 (which IS better than what I paid), Firefly 19.99, Pushing Daisies 18.99 etc. Maybe this is fairly normal, I don't do a lot of DVD shopping. But just in case.

xpost with Natter.

Comcast is also showing Battlestar Galactica: The Face of the Enemy on the On Demand channel. But so far they only have episodes 1 and 2 listed. They also have 2 'briefly describe all the past seasons to prepare for the upcoming final episodes' pieces on there.

Oh, that's excellent.

I've been attempting to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special since last night. So far, I've been able to watch 3 out of 7 parts and I'm almost halfway through part 4. So frustrating.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I had no idea that there is a new Wallace and Gromit movie coming out. Thanks Fay, you totally made my day. Because Shaun the Sheep, while good fun, is much too short at only 5 minutes an episode.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There was a new Wallace and Grommit special on BBC for Christmas. A Matter of Loaf and Death (formerly Trouble At’ Mill)
