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.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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]

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

I suspect it's somewhat less hard for those in the UK, and I hope he keeps it.
(I don't have any issues with it, but see also, grandparents from.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I can usually parse Scot-speak after about 2-3 sentences, but I'm better at that sort of thing than most Americans.

It is almost as though the it is not the primary aim of those making Doctor Who to cater to Americans (sob, sniffle, sob).

I've only once in my life not been able to parse it, and he was an elderly Glaswegian who was pissed to the gills at the time, and as I'd never had a problem understanding him before, I suspect it's the drink more than the accent that was an issue there.
