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.

I'm still loving K9 the cat. "Hey, you! Yes, the one with the scarf. Have we met before? Ok, never mind about that. I'm bored. Go fetch that robot parrot thing I killed once. I want to bat it around some more. No, the parrot thing. Belonged to Captain Shouty. Pushed you off a cliff. God, that was funny. ...Well I don't see why you're complaining. You pushed Romana off a cliff next adventure, you don't really have much high ground there. Probably fall off it if you did. There's an epitaph for you. Name: Doctor Scarf. Nemesis: heights. None of which is fetching my dead parrot."
When reading this I heard it entirely in Benedict Cumberbacth's Sherlock Holmes voice. I'm not exactly sure why but maybe the bored thing and fetch me the parrot.
Helen Mirren would be amazing as the Doctor but another dream actress for the role - Gina Torres. Sure she's not British (or Scottish) but she can do action, she can do humor and she can do voice of steel scary thing. Just imagine this
The Doctor: But you're not the first lot to have come here. Oh, there have been so many. And what you've got to ask is... what happened to them?
The Doctor: Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically...run.
Gina Torres
As long as she can do an English (or Scottish, or Welsh or Irish) accent. not with a Dick Van Dyke cockney either. (Though I'd would very much enjoy a comic episode where some evil alien changes the Doctor's accent to Dick Van Dyke cockney for one episode.)
OK, does Abby not know CPR?
And when did Ichabod learn it, because he didn't know what to do when Abbie almost drowned a few episodes back.
Andi and I both assumed that Mistress meant she was Romana, whom K-9 called "mistress."
huh.
Seems to me after the scare of Abbie almost drowning, Crane might have been highly motivated to learn all about this newfangled CPR.

Nice. I like it.

I've always winced at that speech. It's the "Basically", weakens it for me. I prefer Nine's climactic speech to the daleks in "Bad Wolf", or Ten's challenge to the Vashta Nerada:
"I'm the Doctor and you're in the biggest Library in the universe. ...Look me up."
Gina Torres could pull off the second one easily. The first, I'm not
quite
sure how she'd do with "I'm gonna wipe every last
stinking
Dalek out of the sky!" (Not that that's a standard I'd hold a Doctor to. I don't think Ten or Eleven could've done it either.)
Ultimately, though, it's the lack of Britishness that would trip her up.
Andi and I both assumed that Mistress meant she was Romana, whom K-9 called "mistress."
That would've been cool. I've also seen theories that she was Susan, embittered from being shoved out at the end of
The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
(Rightly so, one might posit.)
I loved the polling place part of Sleepy Hollow so much! Voting and Sassy Ichabod are two of my favorite things. "American Idolatry.... I know what it's called!" Hee.
Concur!
Overall, I thought the episode was kind of blah, but the polling place was excellent, and "I need to internet immediately," and then being impatient with dial-up... Mison manages all that stuff so masterfully.
