She's been in the promos that aired in the US, so not a spoiler.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I thought I heard her voice before but I wasn't sure. New haircut, she said. heh.

Since I have not yet seen the new doctor in action (except for a minute at the end when the old Doctor died) can she match Ace for unstable?
That I can't tell you. I'm pretty sure I never saw Ace. Which Doctor was she with? I've seen random bits of Three, Four and Five (and Eight, for what that was worth; also One and Two during The Five Doctors). The only bit of Six I saw was when Five went, and I never saw Seven.

Compassionately intolerant
New Who (UK): I totally get what you are saying Julie, about 11's different reaction to the Daleks. He didn't seem as terrified...a little too calm...but I think this Who is going to be less volatile in general. This, I don't mind, because I think it will leave room for more interesting supporting characters...not the least of which will be Pond, as she matures. I loved Tennant more than was seemly, but there was never much room on the screen for anyone else but Donna, who claimed her space with gusto.
I'm interested to see how this new attitude effects the storylines.
I LOVED the Daleks in total. Their cute little khaki outfits, complete with boy scout canteens they can't even use. And then, the bigger, badder, more awesome iteration in skittle colors. Everything in the Whoverse has gotten a fresh coat of paint...everything is brighter and sharper and cleaner of line. In as much as I loved the continuity and grittiness of 9 & 10's tenures, I'm liking the reanimation of 11's launch.
Honestly, it seems more like the children's show that everyone keeps saying it is...which I NEVER thought about Chris and Dave's excellent adventures.

Watching the Ultimate Guide now. Major Spoiler...
Has the return of certain creatures been in the US promos? I'm not sure which ones I've seen on-line (which might not be USian) and which I've seen on TV.

I'd answer your question if I knew what you meant by certain creatures, Frank. Weeping angels?
Didn't Ultimate Guide air on BBCA anyway?

Yes, I watched Ultimate Guide on BBCA. I'm erring on the side of caution with the spoilerfont.
Weeping Angels and Daleks will definitely be back.

Didn't Ultimate Guide
Does that count as a US promo? I wasn't sure. If so, yes, it was the Weeping Angels I was thinking of (well, and the Daleks, but those are kind of a given).

If it airs on US TV, it counts.

I hope if people didn't watch Ultimate Guide on account of wanting to be surprised they know not to come into this thread.
