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.
New Who:
OK, so Matt Smith
has won me over already. In fact, he had me at "You're Scottish. Fry something". Lots of really nice moments. What a relief
.
Not so sure about
Amy yet. The wide-eyedness is going to get tired pretty fast. Plus, isn't Amy-and-Rory just going to be a retread of Rose-and-Mickey? I do hope not.
Little
Amelia was brilliant, though. Nice little fact from the Confidential: the actress is Karen Gillan's cousin, but they'd never me before. She had great chemistry with Matt, better than Karen, I thought
.
What did people here think about
the Doctor-Cam? I wonder if they're going to be doing that sort of thing regularly
?
I guess I'm still digesting it. When does it air in the States?
Think I'll wait for the US to get Who before I discuss it here, so I can bounce ideas off people! Enjoyed it, though.
Waiting is hard, though. I'm sure a few people will be ahemming.
Yeah, I'm watching it right now. Matt seems a servicable Doctor so far, but it will take more to make him
mine.

True, although a few good moments definitely helped move things in that direction. Not least "You're Scottish! Fry something!"
OK, I managed all of five minutes of waiting. Delaying gratification is not one of my superpowers.
Killing me. Can't watch until later.
New Doctor:
Ohh, Doctor. It's not Tennant, but he's one hell of a freakish cool alien, so I'll give him 7 in Tennant's scale (that scale, with the right Tennantness, can go up as 15 at times. Just so you'll know).
Something's changed about the shooting, I think. It's less realistic: it feels like I'm supposed to be watching a fairy tale. "Fables" version of fairy tale, but a fairy tale nonetheless. I also love Amy, and the fact that she told everyone about the Doctor (though again, it kinda raises the hero worshiping I dislike about the Doctor to begin with. I'd like to attribute it more to her than to him). I loved the changing clothes scene, and his confidence (in general). Rose gave him that, I think, and it's lovely to see him like that again.
All in all: it's a a different Doctor, alright. But I think we'll become fast friends. If I'll just stop rolling my eyes every time he says Geronimo, that is.
Hey all! Also, New Doctor:
I am finding Matt Smith super hot. Also Amy. But it will be exceptionally weird if they push a romance angle. Exceptionally. I like the new Tardis, and that they've gone for a whole new style of camera direction etcetra. I think you can really tell that there's a new head writer on board, there was definitely a different tone. The video clips of the previous doctors was sweet too.
To sum up, I'm very looking forward to more.
I read somewhere that they're going to have a fairy story-gone bad sort of a tone this new incarnation of the Doctor.
