All that talking-in-sync creeped me out. And the increasing tension of the rest of the group throughout the ep was terrific.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, totally. I think it's Moffat's whole thing of the ordinary turning against you. And things like statues and books are real.

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???

Link to a Guardian Torchwood review/blog thingy below. Includes a complete summary of the first episode as well as some unsubstatiated Who rumours. So be warned: spoilers aplenty!

Hey, I found a free UK proxy server and grabbed the torchwood radio plays. If anyone wants 'em, shoot me an email and I'll send you a URL I set up with the three of them zipped up into one 60MB file. I won't be able to send you the URL until late this afternoon/evening. Profile addy is good.
