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 I sort of miss the maudlin.
Me, too. Everywhere else I go on the internet I keep seeing comments like "Thank God Ten and all his angst are gone" but I really loved his highs and lows. I still miss him actually, but I'm hoping that will change as the season goes on.
About the new Doctor he's definitely not sexy, but there is an appealing gentleness to him. The only issue I have is he doesn't quite sell the crazy stuff yet. They could throw David Tennant the weirdest, silliest things (pig men, CGI Satan, etc.) and he would really make me believe that it actually existed and was a threat. I don't quite have that yet from Matt Smith.
I still miss Eccleston's particular take on the angst, the way he was razor edged and desperate for happiness the whole time. But I still grew to love Tennant and find him pretty sexy quite quickly.
Smith could do it, but
the opening goofball sequence
means it's going to take longer--but he sure picked up at the end. The Doctor needs edge. Doesn't
have
to be Time War angst, but through all his incarnations he's defeating major enemies. I think Moffat and Smith did manage to display that capability before the end of the episode, and that's why I'm not mad at them.
I started re-watching Nine's series last night. Oh, NINE.
t sigh

I have rewatched his season the least because Rose just grates on me so much. But I did love that about Nine. Maybe I'll have to rewatch after all.
Plus there's Jack-flirting going on.
V: So Hobbes is basically Ham Tyler, right?
Oh yeah, I'll definitely rewatch those eps. Thanks for the reminder.
What I really want is a long vid of all the Captain Jack scenes from Doctor Who. Context be damned.
P-C, I don't remember the original series at all. I actually thought last night's ep was decent, but I still like "Flashforward" better.
Last night's episode was better, yeah, but the show suffers from Being-After-Lost Syndrome. Also, it's later and I get sleepy.
