Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
I need a rewatch because I couldn't understand a lot of what Capaldi was saying. I just suck at understanding accents.
Huh. I couldn't even hear him as Scottish for some reason. Tennant in Broadchurch was far more impenetrable to me. But I've been watching Capaldi since Local Hero and Lair of the White Worm so I may just be used to his voice, though it has gruffed up a bit since those days.
Hard to believe he's the same actor that was in Lair of the White Worm!
And he directed Richard E. Grant in the Oscar winning short Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life!
Never seen him in his signature role on that political show though.

Yet Hugh Grant looks almost exactly the same!
Hugh Grant made a pact with the devil. How else would have gotten away with everything?

I didn't realize Capaldi was in Lair of the White Worm. I haven't seen that flick since it came out so now I'll have to see it again. I'd also forgotten all about the movie Local Hero - maybe I'll check that out again too.
On rewatch I've decided I love Capaldi's take on the Doctor. And I liked Clara a lot more this episode as they've given her more to do. Love her interaction with the Doctor.
Don't forget this Capaldi gem: [link]
I watched a segment of BBC Breakfast featuring Peter Capaldi that included a couple of clips from upcoming episodes.
I have to say, the clips erased any reservations I might have had about the 12th. I can't wait to see what's next!
Favorite line: As they walk down a hallway, the Doctor says of Clara, "She's not my companion she's my...what it is?" Clara retorts, "I'm his carer." "Oh yes, he finishes, "she cares so I don't have to ."
Yep. That's the Doctor I had hoped for.
Yep. That's the Doctor I had hoped for.
I like where this is heading. I loved the Doctor's callousness when Clara got trapped during their escape - and she only got trapped ensuring the Doctor made it out too - especially "You could at least leave me the sonic screwdriver." "...I might need it." [Leaves]
