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.
It's been so long since I've seen Local Hero. I'm totally rewatching.
It's been on my mind a lot in the last week, based on some of Matt Smith's recent interviews...I wonder how much of his leaving was not initiated by him.
I know the line is that he is doing movies, but his body language suggests he's not all that thrilled. Also, Moffat made a statement about how recasting was not really in his hands, but a BBC leadership decision.
The FIFTIETH is such a huge deal, I wonder if 'out with the old, in with the new' is a business decision.
Plus, a couple of the Brit articles I've read in the last week remarked that ratings have been bad over the last year. There were no citations, so who knows.
Given my own waning interest and then resurgent interest with the new Who being someone I know of and am interested in seeing interpret the part...well, it all seems unlikely to be coincidence.
In any case, I'm glad the reveal is done and I can get on with anticipating how they handle the transition.
Judging from the little insight I've had into the ends of some shows I ignore everything about why any given show ends--both what the press says and what I can come up with. Neither of them are beholden to facts.
Okay then, this article answers my rather naive question quite comprehensively...Reused Actors in Doctor Who.
So how soon can Craig Ferguson get Capaldi on the show so they can go all ridiculous and giddy about his casting? I want this yesterday.
Ooops. Apologies for the skip. I didn't click your link ita !
Then, I came to the reused actors piece through another article I was reading.
I should have scrolled back before posting.
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.
My husband just became inexplicably aroused and doesn't know why...he is in LUURVE with the idea of Statham as the Doctor. He finds it awesomely amusing.
BBC America sent me a "Buy other great shows featuring Peter Capaldi, the New Doctor!" e-mail.
I actually managed to watch the announcement live on TV in Munich.
I also have the "oh, good, another white guy" reaction, but at least this time he's a little older? It will be nice to have a new dynamic between the Doctor and companion.
