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.
Also, we know that Matt Smith is waiting in the wings, but he doesn't know for sure that he'll regenerate - I think for whatever reason he's thinking the next one might be permanent. "Your song is ending" is pretty ominous and when the Ood appeared to him in the snow he seemed to believe that it was all over for good.
I personally tend to think that he's so upset this time, because he knows it's coming (Unlike in Parting of the Ways) and he's now the very last Time Lord. It's like those horrible situations that have happened (and still unfortunately happen) when there's just one 80 year old person left who speaks a language and it will die with them. Gallifrey still lives on in him because he carries its memory - but when he goes, it's kaput.
It's due to air on the BBC in the UK on the 25th (pt 1) and 26th (pt 2).
Actually, it's on BBC1 from 6 to 7 pm on Friday 25th December, and from 6:40 to 7:55 pm on Friday 1st January. Each followed by one hour of Confidential on BBCTHREE.
Do we know if the BBCA version will be the same as the BBC1?
David Tennant can convey more with his face that most actors can with the most eloquent oratory.
Indeed. That was excruciating to watch and listen to.
I am continually impressed by Doctor Who's ability to make totally mundane things freaky as hell. Children, stone angels, now water...

Plus, even if he is having decades' worth of adventures off-screen, he is still blowing through regenerations like a kid with a fist full of nickles in a penny arcade. Most Time Lords got to their regenerations through old age of bodies, not through adventures or misadventures.

Really? How strange - I'd heard different. Must check my sources!
Children, stone angels, now water...
That scene where the guy was looking up and one drop of water splashed on his face? I jumped and squeaked. Over a drop of water. It wasn't quite as extreme as my reaction to scenes in Blink, but still—water.
I was drinking water at the time and couldn't help looking at the glass askance.

Hmm. I had only thought of that in a meta context, not a plot-based one. Nothing to lose making him a bit reckless.

And at the same time, freaking his shit out a bit, when he stops to think about it.
I cried when she forgot.
Oh, my, yes. That was an amazing scene.
