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.
Liese,
I would encourage you to start at the beginning. The first few episodes are slow going, but then there is a payoff that made viewing quite rewarding. I think this happens around episode 4-6. After that, I was pretty hooked.
The show rewards viewers for viewing episodes in order from the beginning - generally speaking.
Leise, before mid-season 2 I would've told you to just jump in, but now I'm going to suggest DVDs. It is an excellent show for marathoning.
Liese, I think starting from the beginning is the best thing you can do. I've seen a couple of random later episodes and, while I'm usually a spoiler whore, I would have appreciated them a lot later if I'd seen what I've seen up to now.
Hell, the stuff I'm spoiled for, I don't even understand now.
Is that a Fringe statement or what?
My boyfriend and I just finished watching season 1 of the new Doctor Who. What a fantastic show! I have no idea why I waited so long to watch this! Though to be honest, I didn't fall in love with the show until about the 6th episode. I enjoyed it up to that point, but didn't love it. However, I love, love, love Christopher Eccleston! I really hope I enjoy David Tenant as much as I did Christopher.
I never thought i'd love Tennant as much as i did Eccleston. i was soooooooooo wrong!!

And then there's Matt Smith! I was surprised at how hard and fast I fell for Eleven.
he hasn't replaced my love for Tennant, but i do enjoy him.
That is the beauty of The Doctor - no matter who plays him, or what quirks he's got in a particular regeneration. It's perfectly fine to have one you feel is "your Doctor" but after a change or two, you begin to have faith that he is still The Doctor. I've only found one that I couldn't bear to watch, and that was Colin Baker (who probably wasn't bad, he was just written that way). As a fan from of old, it was somewhat frustrating and amusing at the same time to watch how adamantly all the new Eccleston fan-girls were going on about how there was no way Tennant could be any thing but a disaster, and they'd never love him... only to come around when they saw him in action.
Speaking of... anybody else earwormed with "triumph of romance and intellect over brute force and cynicism"?
I am now. But that's a fun earworm.
