Which channels are running SJA, Frank? Is Sciffy one, at all?
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.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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!

All is well that ends in pizza.
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.

Cripes, Daniel. I just watched the first 5 episodes of classic Who yesterday. I would have never thought of that! But I haven't seen enough of the older episodes to have any clue what might have happened to Susan. I mean, when I saw her, it was all a "but Buffy doesn't have a sister!" moment.
It would definitely explain the second heartbeat effect they've been playing with for Donna.

I've heard the fobwatched Donna spec in blogshere! Interesting notion, especially with those prominent heartbeats. Also fits with the sly comments throughout the season about the Doctor not being alone -- I thought that was in reference to Jenny, but if there is yet another Time-Lord hiding in Donna, that'd also fit. I don't know that much of Old School Who, but people also mentioned Romana, who IIRC was a Time-Lady back in the days of Fourth Doctor.

DW 4.12: I don't know how I feel about Magical Time Lord Donna. I mean, part of the reason Donna is awesome is because she's HUMAN. That's been hammered home time and again this season.

Yeah, P-C, I agree. While the idea is interesting (and I rather like the notion of The Doctor having a companion who's his equal in everything), I think it'd do Donna's character a disservice. Not to mention the problem of Donna's family!
