Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Wow, that was depressing. Now I'm watching The Graham Norton Show with Tennant. I am really going to miss him as The Doctor.
I, to wish we'd had more than one season of Eccelston, and still more of Tennant.
I'll give the new guy a chance, but am not optomistic.
Uh, I said so a couple posts up.
oops. missed that.
Are they really going to kill Doctor Who? They can't do that!
What? They do that all the time. They are the DO THAT show.
They kill The Doctor so often that they might as well call him "Kenny."
They kill The Doctor so often that when they do a fake out death, people say, "Oh? Time to change Doctors already?"
Eta: In mid season. In mid episode.
They kill The Doctor so often, cats applaud.
They kill the Doctor so often, he thinks Buffy is an amateur at being dead.
You do realize Doctor Who has been on the air since before David Tennant was born, don't you?
I thought Mansquito would be funny, but it was mostly just gross.
I'll give the new guy a chance, but am not optomistic.
I felt that way about Tennant before he started. And Billie Piper, who I was 'blah' about, given that she was a third-rate pop star without much acting experience at the time.
But my ultimate experience with Doctor Who casting was Catherine Tate. I hate her comedy so much that I have to leave the room when her sketch show comes on the TV. I was so upset when they cast her - I thought I was going to have to stop watching Doctor Who. Within two episodes I was totally sold on her as Donna. I laughed at her rambling Essex-girl rants. I was touched at the end of the Library episode. I cried when she forgot.
In short, I trust this show on casting. Bring on Matt Smith!
They had a really annoying "gadget, gadget" robot in Water of Mars, and they made me love in him the end, too!
Gadget Gadget was a good robot. I can't fathom how the world explained those three Mars people suddenly being back on Earth, or how the Doctor apparently thought everyone would just cheer and forget the utter impossibility of it.
No, I mean, I know the Doctor "dies" and regenerates as a new version of himself, but I thought they meant to kill him for reals. Not that they could without ending the show, but if he knows he's just going to pop up somewhere with a new body and some different personality quirks but the same memories and basically the same person, what is really the big deal about "dying"?
Granted, I ask this as someone who's seen maybe five episodes ever, so maybe it's quite clear to everyone else.
