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.
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.
I'd love an American Doctor, complete with American accent - or, indeed, any non-British incarnation. But given negative British reaction to the 'Americanizing' of the TV movie (which I quite liked, but many people didn't), it seemed that people still wanted their Doctor in British form back then.
It’s probably because I’ve got a weird love for British-ness, but I don't think the show would work if the Doctor was American (or anything else, really). How DW plays with history, mucks about, makes ordinary objects fantastical, and mocks most kinds of authority while still respecting others – it’s just British down to its bones. For me, it represents the best of the British imagination and its essence stems from the guy who's on the journey, the Doctor. If he wasn't British the whole show would change. It would be like setting Hogwarts down in Peoria.
I'm with Maysa. I'd hate to see an American Doctor. The very Britishness of the show sustains me through the bad moment, however few they may be.
Americanizing it would just be one more disappointing, 'we have no imagination of our own' gesture.
That rumor about an American Being Human? I'm lookin' at you.
I don't see anything essentially British about Being Human. I just don't see any reason to remake it. Or have any faith it will be a quality job. But the story could have been told well the first time on these shores.
