So I shouldn't feel bad that I only watched until the point that the Doctor Who preview came on? Good.
What a terrible waste of Phillip Glenister.
I got that impression from the little I saw.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh crap! was that on tonight?
Oops - sorry, no, it airs the 22nd. DH and I just got around to watching the screeners (of the new re-edited broadcast version) last night.

What a terrible waste of Phillip Glenister.
Not exactly Boxed Set material, but I've been watching Cranford and he is excellent in that.

Re: Sanctuary
I was googling a bit and found an article on scifiwire about the killing off of Ashley (dated in late October), but there were fans who were pissed about it and commenting 2 months after the date of the piece.
It doesn't really make sense creatively why they killed Ashley off. I have a feeling that the real reason had to do with the budget and that the actress was too expensive. But it really was a silly decision to "replace" Ashley with Kate - and Kate has just been terrible.
I wish they would bring Ashley back, but if they can't do that, have Tesla as part of the team full-time. I like the character and he makes me laugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, they've had at least two Magnus and Will only episodes so far this season, which really reeks of budget concerns.
Kate is less awful than she was at the start, but I'd rather not have her than have her. I don't think the team needs another female body enough to justify her existence.
IO9 had a couple Dr Who bingo cards--they called Midshipman Frame--that seemed eerily prescient. I suppose it's okay that Jack has sex after Ianto, and why not with the werewolf from Being Human, but I think there's dealing to be done, not to mention with what Jack's done since he last talked to the Doctor, and the montage kinda skipped over that.
Martha and Micky? Really? Really? He's a lot cooler than he used to be, but really?

Yeah, that came out of nowhere. But again, the beard was working for Mickey.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
that seemed eerily prescient
I wonder if they were spoiled somehow.
I am not a fan of Mickey/Martha. At all.

I am thinking that Mickey's gone through some major changes to have attracted someone as awesome as Martha.
