Oh HELL no, Orphan Black! Not cool!
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Nerdist reviews tonight's Who. SPOILERS, obviously.
At the end, there is a delightful interview with 10 & 11.

The interview at the end of the Nerdist column made me wonder if 10 is wearing the suit AlternaDoc wore on Bad Wolf Bay.
Turns out, not.
However, there is speculation in one of the comments that I think I'm going to subscribe too. What if John Hurt is Doctor 0...the one before John Pertwee . Very cool idea.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Bonny: There are a couple gaps where he could fit in. For instance, during The Time War, perhaps?

Victor, that was a popular suggestion in the comments as well.
Waiting until November is going to be hard.
It would be so great if Moffat pulled off something awesome. Except for the Gaiman episode and this last one, this series has not been my favorite.
It could all get paid off though.

Canon question...has there ever been a description of how the Doctor ages within a generation?
I was thinking about the interviews with the living former doctors, in which they said that they had not even been contacted about the 50th anniversary show, much less been invited to participate.
Now, that could all be a ruse, but it got me to wondering if they weren't invited because they all look so different...except for Sylvester McCoy, of course...to their incarnations.
A Time Lord isn't like a vampire, but does he age really sloooowly?

Oh, bonny, that's interesting. All of the other Doctors are making up for that?

The first Doctor was about 450 years old when he regenerated into the Second, and appeared about a seventh of that age at the time. Not sure if his rate of aging would hold true for subsequent regenerations though, as they start in adulthood and aren't necessarily limited to a human-seeming form.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Is it canon that Timelords don't have to regenerate into what I think of as their standard humanoid form, assuming nothing goes wrong? Have we encountered non-human appearing timelords other than something going wrong?

Romana tried on a blue-skinned alien appearance when regenerating before settling on Lalla Ward, and I seem to recall Nine telling Rose that he might not have a mouth afterward.
