This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

I was completely taken by surprise.

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

I am still not a fan of Chibnall's storytelling, and am grumpy that last night's reveal seemed to erase all the fantastic character work done in the last season of 12.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm also still skeptical of Chibnall, and I miss Missy. However, I still thought it was a fun, unexpected reveal.

I am waiting to see what part 2 brings before I react.

Are we supposed to remember O from last time he crossed paths with the Doctor?

I did love the Doctor in the long coat and bowtie.

Agreed, but the trousers caused me pain.

Okay, the fit of the entire outfit made me sad - I understand the brief was "small child playing dress-up", but I think of the tailoring in Missy's clothes and . . . .

YES OMG WTF CHIBNALL. The TARDIS knows how to dress the Doctor, damnit.

Aw, I like Jodie in suits, though I too was not a fan of the trousers. That woman can wear the hell out of a jacket and tie!

I bet she could also wear the hell out of a suit that fit.
