We also got a TARDIS that is less a mere mechanism and more a creature in its own right.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Really disliked that Doctor Who TV movie, but loved Paul McGann.
Hated the half-human retcon Fox tried to do with the Doctor's origin
That was such a mistake. I still keep expecting the BBC to go on to establish it as canon at some point.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another in io9's Introduction to SciFi series of posts (see the Movies thread for the post on top SciFi movies):
The top 20 essential science fiction TV shows
Unlike the movies post, most of these I haven't seen....
eta: Wait, I've seen more than half of these....

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Those are harder, because I've seen some of them, but not all seasons, or know about them, but haven't actually seen them...
If we count partial viewings, I've seen 13 out of 20.

I, err, own one of the ones I haven't seen. I'll get to it.
Complete series, less than that but it would take more thought than I have in me to figure it out exactly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've watched some of 18 of those.
Huh.
I've watched all of 15.
Will acquire life posthaste. Any time now.

I've seen parts, if not all, of 19 (haven't seen any of Ghost in the Shell). Counting all episodes, it drops down to 12.
