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.

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

US Who... Bill Nighy!
Wait, that was Bill Nighy as Vincent? I TOTALLY did not recognize him.

Nope. Bill Nighy was the museum docent. Big glasses and all.

OK, that makes a LOT more sense. Didn't recognize him there either, but at least I can connect him mentally.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
i found some of the accents on that show hard to understand at times, but i still adore it. especially Sam.
Thank goodness for subtitles. Though sometimes I still have no idea what they're saying. I'm in the middle of episode 2 and totally in love but I already had a thing for Simm so it's not surprising.
"Do you remember people? You used to be one."
heh

The soundtrack is so very awesome but some of this stuff I had no idea went this far back. I can't believe Dark Side of the Moon is older than my roommate.

Sam is given messages by the girl off Test Card F, who comes out of the television with her clown doll. At the end of the series, she can also be seen running down the street and switching off the television from the inside. ("Ashes to Ashes" also refers to her with the clown motif.) The real life Test Card girl, Carole Hersee is estimated to have been on British television for 70,000 hours, equivalent to nearly eight years, and so is in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for the longest television appearance in history.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I pretty much echo everyone else on UK DW: I loved the causality-loop time-jumping ("I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool."), I loved Amy in the Pandorica, I loved Rory waiting 2,000 years for her, I loved "Geronimo" for some reason, I LOVED that the jacketed Doctor in the Angels episode really WAS what everyone theorized, I somehow loved the shit out of "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," and I really loved that Moffat set up an actual multi-season arc.
I guess Rory's badge and the nineties cars really WERE just production errors, then? And I suppose we are to assume that the crack in time ate the ducks in the duck pond, just like it ate Amy's family?
