Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

DW: Nice to see, but I wasn't over or underwhelmed. Just a general whelming. No complaints, but a decided lack of enthusiasm on my part.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Torque, I'm betting on The Master doing the knocking.

Oh, I quite loved it. Much more than the Christmas special. And a nice little bit of angst there at the end. "Your song is ending." ::sniff::

When's the next episode due for airing, anyone know?

Sources say Fall, possibly as late as November.

TomW says the rumors he's heard for the rest are:

The Waters of Mars in November
The penultimate ep on Christmas (yay!!)
The last episode on New Years.

Just rumor though. It would be great to see them all so close to each other. I guess the final 2 are a two-parter.

Downside though- many months without Who!

“Not dead yet!”

When are we going to officially get the first two here, or have they not announced that yet? I noticed last night that BBCA was showing part one of Sontaran Stratagem, which was the fourth or fifth episode of S4. So I'm wondering if around June or so.

The American airings of past Xmas specials have been generally bundled in with the season that follows... I don't know how they will handle this season-less bunch of episodes. Possibly they might bunch all the specials as a mini series, which means they wouldn't be seen until after the last one airs in 2010. Or they might bunch them with Series 5 airing which would make it even later.

Or they may run them as specials, which would be the best way to do it. Doesn't SciFi (I refuse to use their new brand name) do first American airings and then BBCA airs them much later?

Last season SciFi (I'm with you, Nora, the new name--ptui--we shall speak of no more) aired each episode two weeks after the BBC UK showing. But, we haven't seen the Christmas special here yet, have we? I've gotten in the habit of ahemming them, so I lose track of what's shown when, anymore.
