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.
My one concern is that Matt Smith's bright, shiny youth will lead the stories in a more kidly direction ala Sarah Jane
I don't think you have to worry about casting. You have to worry about showrunning. Do you think Moffat doesn't want to scare the pants off you?

I SO hope he does.
I'm probably worrying too much about nothing. It's just that the tv I can say I really like is mighty thin on the ground these days. Who has to see me through!
I think they may successfully go the place the Whedonverse thought they could go with Glory - chipper, cheerful, shallow and scary as hell. Neither the writers nor the actress could pull it off. But I think the Whoverse probably can. Written and directed properly, Matt Smith could be a very dark Doctor indeed.
amych, from the moment I saw it, I couldn't. get. it. out. of. my. head.
On the same note, it might be worthwhile mentioning that the things that get stuck in my head are very random. For instance, The Partisan's Song became a common reaction from my brain for anything that seems to threaten yours truly sanity and the connection with the fabric of reality, in a mild way. Bills, Intro to Quantitative Research Methods, a hunt after a cockroach are some of the examples coming to my mind of the past week.
And Moffat can scare the pants off of me anytime. And smith looks like such a cutiehead.

He reminds me of a young Robbie Williams. (With whom I was totally besotted when I was 14.)
It appears that the rumor of a 15-minute Doctor Who
11 doctor reunion (some in digital form)
for Children in Need 2009 may have been just that.
Nothing on FlashForward? The Flash with Bryce (sp?) and Keiko strikes me as the first really meta-Flash we've seen. That is, the characters seem to be acknowledging the Flash within the Flash itself.
I liked the twist there. It made me laugh. And, yes, I read it the same way, Jon.
I'm mostly bored with Bryce, although I liked Keiko. Also hella bored with the injured vet. Last night had a good Noh explosion and Wedyck (sp?) lie, but that was about it for me.
