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.

Bunch o'
Doctor Who
news:
Doctor Who hits the road with Winston Churchill and... Neill from The Young Ones?
In totally unrelated Doctor Who news, the BBC announced that at long last, the 1996 TV movie starring Paul McGann will be released on DVD in the U.S., something that legal wrangling with Universal has prevented for years now. This is probably only good news for the tiny handful of us who want to rewatch Sylvester McCoy's final moments or the episode's handful of other cool bits.
I watched that Paul McGann
Doctor Who
episode/pilot/thingie on Fox and barely remember it (I'm a big fan of
Withnail and I,
which is what McGann is probably most famous for). Now I'll have to decide if I want the DVD....
Anyone else see that
Who
thing?
I saw it and kind of enjoyed it. It established a Doctor who could be attracted to his companions.
And, of course, Sylvester McCoy.
I watched it. Hated the half-human retcon Fox tried to do with the Doctor's origin, Hated that they felt compelled to push an insta-romance with the new companion. Pointed and laughed at Eric Roberts' performance. But in the hands of capable writers I thought McGann would have made an excellent Doctor.

Ooh, I forgot about that.

I kinda' remember that was controversial at the time.
But in the hands of capable writers I thought McGann would have made an excellent Doctor.
Yeah. Too bad for him.
Yeah, I've totally forgotten the details, but Paul McGann is awesome.
We also got a TARDIS that is less a mere mechanism and more a creature in its own right.
Really disliked that Doctor Who TV movie, but loved Paul McGann.

That was such a mistake. I still keep expecting the BBC to go on to establish it as canon at some point.
McGann is the only reason to watch it. I so wish he had gotten a chance at a better run as the Doctor. He was the Doctor who fought in the Time War. Eccelston was newly minted when his run began.
Have you heard any of the Eighth Doctor audioplays? I hear that they are very good but I haven't had a chance to listen to any of them.
No, I haven't heard any of them. I think I've heard
of
them and maybe even saw a link or recieved a link in an email. My memory is fuzzy.
