I suspected metareasoning. Too bad.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

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.

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

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.

Not only the bad guy but at minimum the Season's big bad. Maybe the big bad for the whole show.

I wonder what the show's arc is supposed to be through future seasons. Not enough to ask, though...
I'm rewatching Blake's 7, and it's fascinating as it comes together into what I hadn't remembered I remembered. Dana and Tarrant just showed up, and OH. That looks a lot more familiar, only twenty eight episodes in...
