I wonder why the people who initially thought Capaldi thought Capaldi. Has he come up on previous lists?
'Not Fade Away'
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.
I still wish he hadn't been white. I mean, c'mon.
I would *love* an Indian Doctor.
I am actually disappointed that Jason Statham was not named. I know it is ridiculous but it was so ridiculous that I started imagining it with details. If I had a lick of creative talent (and time), I'd start writing fan fiction about it.
Due to selective parsing and possibly side effects of, you know, medication, Le Nub is now starting writing Time Lord Statham fic. Y'all can thank me later.
Not familiar with Peter Capaldi, but willing to give him a shot.
As for Patterson Joseph, he's got another gig- Law and Order UK.(I didn't realize they started it up again until a friend tipped me off to BBC America starting to air new eps this week)
I would *love* an Indian Doctor.
Joanna Lumley would have been the perfect choice to please us both, then.
Malcolm Tucker as the new Doctor! I'm hoping Capaldi would keep his Scottish accent. For those who haven't watched Thick of It / In the Loop, here's a gloriously profanity-filled reminder: [link]
Well, he's been a couple of Who-verse shows, so he's a known quantity to the production. I thought he was good in both the Pompii adventure and CoM.
I'm not sure about keeping the Scot accent though. It's pretty hard to understand a Scot when he's not making an effort to be understood by the rest of us.
So, I'm finally catching up on the last two episodes of Arrow, and I want to hit Ollie with the heavy stick of Stop-Being-Stupid.
