Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm Starbuck from BSG...dorkiest vlog ever (supanova).

An Asian Australian goes to Supanova dressed as Starbuck, and one of two things happens: either someone doesn't know who she is or they know she's from BSG but assume she's Boomer because she's Asian. She's a good sport about it.

(Is Starbuck's clothing recognizably different from Boomer's? I can't remember.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

OMG I'm SO absurdly pleased to have the Doctor back on my TV!

I hope she wasn't actually surprised to be confused for Boomer or Sharon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You know, if she's had the Starbuck haircut (I know, Kara had long hair later on, but the bob is the iconic one, IMO), I think her case would be stronger.

If she were blonde her case would be stronger. It's hard to expect people to make the hair colour leap. I always vote wig.

Saw Planet of the Dead and Being Human promos on BBC America during Primeval for July, as well as Torchwood. Looks like a bang up month.

True. Wig would help.

Doctor Who does have the STRANGEST ways of celebrating Christmas. When the lethal Xmas trees from the 9th Doctor's one are the most charming option facing you (as opposed to offing Kylie Minogue or this episode's poor false Doctor's back story) you know you're in some dark territory.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, I had already watched this Doctor Who, but Doctor Who on my TV! Never can resist.
