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.
edit: Lordy, I did it again. Paterson Joseph was already mentioned up thread. Man, mind like a sieve these days. Pain does that to me. Anyway, I stand by my lament. He would have been perfect.

I honestly haven't been super invested in "Who will it be?"
I figure I'll do the best with whatever I get, but Neil Gaiman's quote saying that Paterson Joseph turned down the role actually made me sad.
I'd have _loved_ to see him dropping in on unsuspecting worlds.
His turn in Jekyl may be my favorite of his roles, but I've pretty much loved everything he's done.
bonny
Neil didn't confirm the name. did you find it out?
le n, this is the article I found that says Gaiman named Joseph.
so he didn't revel the name, someone pieced a couple of communications from him together and are making an educated guess.
Have finally started watching Orphan Black and yeah, it's fucking awesome. I'm up to episode 4 and can't wait to get back on it when I get home.
It's kinda wacky how it ended up airing on BBC America when it has little to do with either British or American input. It's an obviously Canadian production created by a Canadian directing/producing duo, starring a cast almost entirely made of Canadian actors, and filmed in Toronto -- they haven't explicitly mentioned it yet but Alison lives in Scarborough, which is a large suburb of Toronto. I was also chuffed to see one of the creators is John Fawcett, who made one of the best werewolf movies ever, i.e. Ginger Snaps.
Tatiana Maslany, holy shit.
Important: what are your thoughts on Allison?
Scarborough, which is a large suburb of Toronto
Thank You! The only Scarborough I was familiar with is New York, and I kept wondering why they were trying to act as if it was New York, when everything else is so very Canadian. I feel better now.
And yes, Tatiana Maslany is amazing.
what are your thoughts on Allison?
I LOVE HER. She's my favourite.

Plus you can clearly see that the stacks of money Sarah withdraws from Beth's account are made of pretty-colored Canadian bills.
The money is the biggest indicator of This Is Not The US to me. I can usually handwave one city for another (within reason), but Allison just handing her kids a few bucks to go run in the store - so very much Not US Currency.
I LOVE HER. She's my favourite.
And this is why Vonnie is my favorite.
