A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
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.
It would never in a million years occur to me to tie
the year Martha spent proselytizing to race. As companions go, she was a damned sight more active and independent than Rose, for instance.
I can see the
maid uniform thing,
but I'd be most likely to chalk that up to not paying attention. Her family came off
as pretty active themselves, when the world wasn't being held hostage. Her mother was anti-Doctor, but that's less embarassing than being chavvy and trying to get into his pants like Rose's mum.
Incidentally, is the Doctor being half-human canonical within the current TV series? I remember that being set up within the New Adventures, but the NA are NOT canonical for the series as far as I know. I missed a great swathe of episodes so (including all but the first one with Captain Jack).

I don't think that's ever been alluded to, either for or against.
I knew just about nothing of Who canon before this, and this is the first I've heard of it.
Oh, was it mentioned over here that the names of John Smith's parents are the names of the creators of Doctor Who? I read that over at TWOP.
The Paul McGann TV-movie that introduced the cracktastic half human background has sort of been incorporated into canon,what with Eccleston's Doctor being a subsequent regenration and all. But that particular element seems to have been swept under the rug (and rightly so).
The Doctor being half-human was discussed in the FOX American movie version. The BBC site shows the American doctor as the 8th doctor, but thats as close to cannon as the half-human stuff gets (at least to my knowlege).

Paul McGann wasn't supposed to be American, was he? I even watched that movie when it aired, but I remember nothing.
