I don't think Britain could have done Buffy, so you get different things from different cultures.
Unrelatedly, damn, is Henry ever gay for Big Guy.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
'Objects In Space'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Most Northern Irish people call themselves British. Except for the ones who call themselves Irish. It's, y'know, a political place.
An Irish Doctor would rock in the same way an Irish James Bond did (but I am nationally biased there). Not sure about Welsh. But then, I didn't think the Welsh setting of Torchwood would work, but I was wrong. (The Welsh still suffer more than the other Celtic nations from Celt-bashing by the English, which in the case of the Welsh has turned into a lot of mockery. The English: not a people I associate myself with.)
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.
Hee. I love that description of the show's Britishness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For some reason Welsh would seem more natural to me than Scottish or Irish
Well, the show is produced by BBC Wales.

Indeed. I had to stop going "That's not Oxford Street, it's Cardiff!" when they set in Torchwood in the actual Cardiff.

Although the CBC is a co-producer as well - a Canadian Doctor, perhaps?

Aaaaand, my brain just went to a "Paul Gross as a Time Lord" place.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You would have to have the gratuitous scene where he was deciding on what to wear as his new incarnation. There would be the moment when he either pulls out a Mountie suit, or puts one on, looks in the mirror and shakes his head.

Back to FlashForward: Mark really was being a dick to his boss and to Aaron, wasn't he? Plus, he's ignoring an obvious (to me) possiblity: Someone IN HIS FLASH could have seen him drinking.

Or, his conversation with either party was spied upon, somehow. Even so, there's much better ways to frame it if you're bringing up something so sensitive that does really need to be checked out with the people who will be offended.

Didn't they show Wedeck send the text right after Mark told him? I swore it was then. I guess I jumped to that conclusion.
