The Mayor ,'End of Days'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Trudy, this is what I'm thinking "because he'd be building it from scratch to be flown by two? (awwwwww)" is reasonable. Or maybe because he's the Doctor he might build it to be piloted by three or four, so it is still craxy-flyin' but more manageable for his reduced capacity. And also, to make it generally more intuitive for a human user, if not a human/Timelord hybrid.
I just wonder whether he'd make it look like a 1950s police box. You know, for sentimental reasons.
Didn't somebody in episode 4.13 say something about the chameleon circuit, or am I imagining that? Oh well, another reason to rewatch... .
Fiona, DoctorDonna did.
say something about
Yes. Donna did. She started saying something about the binary whatever (talking about the chameleon arch) and that's when she started spazzing.

Maybe when he originally builds it the chamelion circuit works, but then it breaks and gets stuck as a police box.
When Doctor Who first aired were police boxes still in use or were they already antiquated?
If I recall correctly, he originally landed in a junkyard.
When Doctor Who first aired were police boxes still in use or were they already antiquated?
No, they were still in use. I remember seeing them around in the '70s, and there was one on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh which was there for ages and might even still be. Of course, they had Doctor Who overtones already, even then.
Hah! The one in Edinburgh is still there!
If I recall correctly, he originally landed in a junkyard.
Yep! Which is what got Susan's teachers interested to check it out, because why would a police box be inside a junkyard? That's how they became his first human companions.
I always loved the Sylvester McCoy Dalek ep (Resurrection of the Daleks? Was that the title?), because it was a complete callout to the first episode, taking place a matter of weeks after it did and having all sorts of wonderfully traditional Who moments in it.
Resurrection of the Daleks?
Remembrance.
The Futon Critic's first look at Virtuality - this is somehow much more different and better than I thought it was.
