New Who last night! Still loving 15's whole vibe. I was not expecting Space Babies to be an Alien Resurrection diss track, but it somehow worked anyway?
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
On Discovery... could someone just kill Moll, please?
The fourth time she blasted her way out of somewhere with some slice of the super tech that will destroy the world someone needed to just shoot. her. in. the. head. and solve the whole problem. The Federation doesn't even have to do it, the Breen keep not killing her too. Someone make the woman dead.
I've come to accept the Michael Sueyness of captain Burnham. The actress is great, she's Spock with passion... I accept her as a super hero and get on with it. Moll, however...

I'm enjoying Who but a blue-eyed Paul McCartney was just silly.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'm not a Doctor Who watcher (I've only seen the first Eccleston episode and the first Matt Smith episode), but I saw so many gifs on Tumblr of the recent episode that I decided to watch that episode. Jonathan Groff was as good as I expected him to be, but WOW, Ncuti Gatwa is fabulous. He's 110% charisma and just delightful. (Edit: and the prettiest of the Doctors, which I assume goes without saying.)

I have to catch up! I've only seen the first ep. Well, and the Christmas special where he first appeared. Co-signed on the pretty ranking, though. Yes.

I mean, he was so pretty that he was a Ken in the Barbie movie. That's, like, top-shelf pretty.

I’m just adoring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor.

Doctor Who: I thought the standalones this season got better and better, but the ultimate conclusion to the arc was...meh. (I said out loud about three eps from the end, "I hope this mystery lady isn't another Bad Wolf macguffin) and then I remembered that RTD is very good at that exactly one thing he knows how to write, so of course it was.
Interview with the Vampire: OMGOMGOMG. We decided to wait until it was all available and then binge so we'd only pay for one month of AMC, and there are two eps left in S2 and holy CHRIST this show is amazing. I'm not sure how they're going to reconcile the timeline of the show with potentially going into Vampire Lestat for S3 but every decision they've made so far has been absolute solid gold so I'm willing to wait and see!

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry to say that I felt the same about the Doctor Who season. I subscribed to Disney to watch, and just couldn't get enthused. I did go through it quickly so I may rewatch to see if it was just me being bad moody.

The stories have been meh (and I don't love Ruby), but Ncuti Gatwa is a DELIGHT. I loved him in Sex Education as well.
