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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Personally, I couldn't care less if there is, or isn't, canon.
If it's working on the emotional level of pretty-consisted characters I'm a happy fangirl. Hell, the automatic heaven solutions (as in, send a random character into what the Doctor thinks will be heaven for it) pisses me off a lot more than a "but it wasn't like this in the original show!" cry.
Which is why, I think, in WoM, I immediately understood that something is wrong with the Doctor from the beginning of the episode. For me, he was acting out of the character of Ten - and still being enough Ten left in him - which only showed, IMO, how badly he needs a companion. His sense of jumping into the nearest fire/disaster, a-la Tommy Gavin of Rescue Me, would have been altered into protecting his companion. The companion, in her turn, would have make sure the price of said protection won't be the life of a timelord, unless it's a season finale.
And ION, I think it's time to see a woman Doctor. I figured that Doctor couldn't regenerate himself into a woman - something in the genetics, or something - but I'd sure love to see a woman in that role, facing the universe, with all of its wonders and horrible parts.
I'd love to see what Judi Dench could do with the role.
My first thought, actually, went to Glenn Close. I don't know why.
Then I thought of Helena Bonham Carter, and then, given her acting in Dollhouse, I thought it'll be interesting seeing Amy Acker tries the part.
Is the world, or rather, Britain, ready for an American Doctor?
I think an American Doctor might cause riots at the BBC.
I'm ready for an American Doctor.
One that will have to fake his/her accent, but I'm ready for one.
Alexis Denisof's American accent is more awkward than his English one.
I'm not quite ready for an American one. I see the franchise as so quintessentially British.
The way they've been de-aging the Doctor with each regeneration, we'd probably wind up with Dakota Fanning.
