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.

I haven't seen tonight's eps, but so far I'm really digging the break-him-with-Stockholm-Syndrome methods that this Number Two is using. As much as I loved the break-him-by-interrogation-and-random-druggings of the original, I'm glad they're not trying to recreate that. (Though I am pretty sure everyone in The Village is being drugged all the time - there's probably something in the wraps.)
[Also, The Village still reminds me of Roosevelt Island. Or rather, Roosevelt Island still reminds me of The Village. It's creepy.]
I can't believe TV Guide managed to make Morena look even more creepy beautiful. That's some lighting. And, uh, PhotoShop, I'm sure.
I had only seen a bit of the new Prisoner when I commented. Overall, I'm enjoying it. I'm also (unspoiledly) speculating that between drugs and mind control (and maybe VR) the entire village is on one floor of the company #6 works for.
I'm still watching (going to bed soon, I swear) tonight, but I loved the explanation of who Number 1 was.

I'd been thinking the same thing.
Actually, he's asleep on a long journey to Mars...

That explains the desert.
Also, suh-nerk!

And maybe the mysteriously opening pits are because Superboy Prime keeps punching holes in reality.
Doctor Who:
1. My dog's name for the next few days will be Doctor Timelord Victorious. Seriously, I was hopping up and down in the room for about 5 minutes, explaining the friend I watched with the reasoning beyond the Roman names and how awesome that he took it. If I could, I'd make people call me that.
2. I think he was quiet insane from the beginning of the ep. For me, something didn't really click there well, from the beginning. It wasn't the Doctor I know nor loved. There was something else in him, and it wasn't the lack of companion. It was beyond it.
3. On a second thought, it was better than the death-wish in disguise of craziness: it was the real thing. But it's not very much like the Doctor to forget that people can, and will, surprise you. That's what make us people.
4. "He will knock 4 times": I read a brilliant theory that all is in the baseline of the theme of the New Doctor. Will translate it tomorrow, it's in Hebrew. It's retcon, but it's a retcon of awesomeness.
5. Until the last 20-25 minutes of the ep, I was almost bored, disappointed. Then, fascinated, electrified, hopeful, fearing. My Doctor. The Doctor.
