'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


Boxed Set, Vol. VI: I am not a number, I am a free thread!

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 I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Relatedly, I had a dream that Tobias Whale gave me a blimp. Yeah, I don't even know.

I...would not trust it to be airworthy. Just sayin'.

Yikes!I don't know what it might mean, but that sounds worrisome.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah, I was thinking that too - herding all the babies into a tiny locked room to die of starvation and/or cannibalism seems like a great way to make sure there's one massive VERY ANGRY spider left at the end of the season.

This reminds me of a comic strip: if the movie 300 were part of a D&D campaign. [link]

I'm not entirely surprised that pretty much no one had anything to say about last week's Doctor Who. My favourite web comment was that the episode was "if Stitch was an actual threat".

The Pting was awfully cute to be so dangerous.

I have seen another comment suggesting the only other time Doctor Who has really gone in for a "cute but dangerous" monster design was the Daleks.

Probably not. I mean, how would that even work?

I liked Demons of the Punjab. Nicely personal.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My DVR is refusing to tape The Flash this season. So, I just watched the two most recent episodes on the app. The newest iteration of Wells must go.

Good episode of Doctor Who. Painful.
