OMG SO ADORABLE.
This. And he wrote Blink?! ADORABLE and TERRIFYING.
This must be what going mad feels like.

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.

First, what is "complex" chinese? Second, it's not Brazilian, it's Portuguese.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
what is "complex" chinese?
I suspect it's a hilarious typothinko for Traditional Chinese -- since that's commonly opposed to "Simplified".

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Well, that's the best possible choice to hand the baton off to in my opinion. The kids of Great Britian will never be able to safely emerge from behind their sofas again!
I am still crossing my fingers that he'll be able to get Tennant to continue as the Doctor after 2009.

Is Moffat Davies' Minear?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I don't think Davies' is Davies' Whedon, but I see where you're going with it.

So, if Moffat is Davies' Minear, then Davies is Davies' Whedon.
Except, not really.

One would have to accept that Davies::Dr Who 2005 as Whedon::Angel for that particular Minear to Moffat comparison to pan all the way out. But if you want to leave the Whedonness out of it a bit and characterise Moffat as a very deft emotional writer who's done some consistently outstanding work for the franchise and is stepping up to the helm as a result, then he is Minearesque.
Although I was in no way sad to see Minear get more control over Angel I think that Angel was in better hands with Joss than Who was in Davies.
I think that still makes sense.
