Yes. I believe he was asked to return, but since he didn't want to, they invented this whole War Doctor thing.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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

I suspected metareasoning. Too bad.

Oh, I don't know. Colin Baker vehemently stated that none of the older Doctors had been asked back, including Paul McGann . So now I almost expect them to produce CE like a rabbit out of a hat .

Fiona, I agree, I expect more casting surprises. I don't believe anything that anyone has said in the press wrt casting.

I would love to see Nine as the War Doctor. It would explain so much of his angst. But the point about looking at the ears is valid. And I miss Tom Baker's manic grin. Where can I find the old eps? Are they on Netflix? Or somewhere? There are lot of the McCoy eps I'd like to see again, too.

Netflix definitely has a lot of classic Who. Shit, I just saw a Tumblr post that had links to stuff for all the doctors, but...tumblr speed...

This is cute: Matthew Yglesias just quoted Battlestar Galactica at the end of a column on fiscal policy.

He lost me by approvingly quoting Larry Summers, conveniently ignoring the fact that he's part of the reason we're in this mess.
Sorry, I know, not a politics thread.

I am really enjoying Colin being a bad guy. I figured he was once the two guys changed Lexi's mind in the bar(n). It seemed so convenient. He's positively glowing this episode.
