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.

If the library two-parter creeps you out, do not watch "Midnight," the ep that follows! That one's even creepier, IMO.

Edited to correct ep title--I'm pretty sure Midnight is right!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"Midnight"? I don't think I find it as scary. Less scary than these, or "Blink."

All that talking-in-sync creeped me out. And the increasing tension of the rest of the group throughout the ep was terrific.

Oh, totally. I think it's Moffat's whole thing of the ordinary turning against you. And things like statues and books are real.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, "Blink" to me is the scariest of the eps. Midnight was creepy, but it was also poignant because of how we saw the Doctor get truly terrified for once.

I love "Blink" a lot but it did not make me flinch at inanimate objects. The ability of humans to be inhumane at the drop of a hat? Yeah, that creeps me to the core.

Less scary than these, or "Blink."

That last is like saying "less lurid than Suspiria."

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

When does it air over here again? I had decided not to download it, and my media machine is down, but can I wait???
