So Doctor/TARDIS is finally superultimate canon!
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
And we got confirmation that at least some Time Lords change sex from regeneration to regeneration!

She's already played the Doctor, so she would have (brief) experience in the role.
I just finished watching it--loved it to pieces!! Even before I realized who the woman was, I thought she was terrific. I even liked how Gaiman wrote Uncle and Auntie--very creepy.
I just adored everything with TARDIS Idris and Eleven.
All the running in the TARDIS corridors was a nice shoutout to Classic Who (when they did that all the time). And the older Rory was excellent--Arthur Darvill really nailed that bit.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That was the scariest part, I think.

I think Rowan Atkinson made a kickass Doctor.

I had the captioning on for Idris's speedy talking, and I loved that the new Doctor's theme song is named in the captions ("Next Stop Everywhere").

Yes to both of these. I feel like we are getting shown more of Amy's personal fears this season, which I appreciate.
Also "Ood's are good, love an ood" going to "another ood I couldn't save" = very sad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Didja know that BBC had a contest for viewers to design a TARDIS console? A tween girl was the winner, and her design became the TARDIS console that the Doctor and Idris constructed.

The design and the descriptions are really cute.
