Oz ,'Him'
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.
On a related note, "Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane" has totally cemented my SJA love (though it wasn't a terribly difficult deal to seal). I love how they've brought Maria's dad into the fold (very Joyce Summers, with big chunks of Hal from Malcolm in the Middle - I mean, seriously, the skateboarding? Hilarious and utilitarian).
Now to go watch the two eps that end the season. Hope this gets another run, cause I'm loving their version of the Scooby Gang.
Which channels are running SJA, Frank? Is Sciffy one, at all?
Can I brag for a moment? (Who 12) I totally immediately recognized Harriet Jones' voice. And I called the bees. I'm feeling very good about myself right now. I think partly because I'm living in the land where no way can Sarah Jane be dead for reals and always (and Gwen and Ianto), so they'll have to undo it (for whatever value of "it"), and, this show being this show, that'll mean that Rose has to go back. I have no idea what's up with Donna.
Unexplained bits, then: the whatsits key Martha's got (like that's not going to be used); Why/how Donna is so special; the 1 second out of sync; what the Daleks are doing with the humans (officially).
Him staying regenerated doesn't make sense, to me, with River. I can't imagine if she never knew him with that face it not being an immediate, "Oh, shit."
They like to pull back in plot elements from earlier in the season. We've gotten the verbal call-backs (similar to Saxon and Bad Wolf), but I don't think there were any plot device recalls. I really think something from the library eps will come back, but I can't figure what or how.
See, Deb, I took River's lack of "oh shit" to be her knowing that when she met him, he could have been an earlier or later regeneration of the regeneration that she personally knew. But, then again, I dunno.

It WAS airing before Doctor Who on Sci-Fi during the season for a number of weeks, but I've had the eps DVRd for ages, so I'm afraid it's ahemming or DVD for catching them at this point.
DW4.12: Hub sez, so they're gonna DDOS the Daleks?
Guess I'll have to get my ahem on then. And set my TiVo to watch for it when it comes back.
DebetEsse -- re: your last paragraph. I will not be surprised if we see the Doctor's daughter next week.
Jon, after Davros said something to the Doctor about not having any family left, I thought "wanna make a bet?" I won't be surprised either, but I'm sure gonna hoot and holler when she shows up, anyway!
Who 4x12:
I would not put it past RTD to have Donna to be the owner of a special watch, one her "grandfather" holds for her.
Maybe Donna is Susan, the doctor's granddaughter. Marooned on Earth during the time war and hiding regenerated and "humanized" as Donna. It would be sad to find out Grampa Noble is not her real grampa, tho.
