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?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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.

It's generally practiced--if you don't want to be spoiled for stuff, don't read it here.

It's hard for me to keep a balance because I want to see what buffistas are saying but I also want to be surprised. In this case it doesn't matter since the BBC already spoiled me.

something like a cosmic colonoscopy.
Space/time colonoscopy was me, but I stole it from a review.
Somebody on another thread is calling them iDaleks, which about sums it up.
That was a bit disappointing, though Bill Patterson and Ian MacNiece were great. I get the feeling that there hasn't really been time for Matt Smith to stretch into the role since the first episode, which is a shame .

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ace was Sylvester McCoy's Doctor's assistant (I can never keep track of numbers). She was a superb companion. I need to get hold of the episodes from that time that I didn't see. Much fun - quirky Doctor. Matt Smith is reminding me of him at times.
Doctor Who, episode 3: I have no interest in Daleks at all since Who went New, but I quite enjoyed this one. Eleven's reaction to being placed in a fatal quandary was great. We knew he'd choose not to let the Earth be destroyed, because he loves human beings, but his distress over having let the Daleks go was very convincing. I agree that he needs more episodes that let him explore the character a bit more. I'm hoping those are coming up. But there was some great stuff in that episode, including Daleks making tea, spitfires in space, and Winston Churchill! Nice.

Oh, and I also quite enjoyed The Prisoner. Although the main effect it had on me was to make me want to go back and watch more of the originals. Ian McKellen was good.
