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.
Also, on rewatch, I didn't realize how physical David Tennant is!
I caught it from the first (but admittedly, he had a very large sword in his hand for a good bit of his first Xmas special, which tends to grab my focus just a little.)
I loved CE's Doctor, no doubt about it. But Tennant has had this... this ... manic ...
THING
from the first moment. That's very Doctor, in a loopy, wild way that CE only rarely was. And always on the edge of annoying, but rarely going over (for me, anyway; I know others feel otherwise). It's as if he never quite got over that huge hit of regenerating stuff and you can still see little gold sparks popping out of his fingers.
(But, yeah, some fucking cheese in the plots. Oh, RTD.)
(edited for verb tense logic)
I have to say that I totally accepted Ten(nant) as the new Doctor, but he did get a little too manic and high-pitched for my liking in some instances, but that seems to have gone away. I really need to rewatch his earlier eps to see if I just got used to him, or if he did indeed tone down.
Loved/Love both Doctors, and I still think that the first Christmas Special was brilliant in introducing a new actor to the role and a new Doctor to Rose. What better way to gain our sympathy than to have him in jim-jams and comatose and practically in a hurt-comfort fic before he went all awespome on our asses?
awespome
I read that as awespwn and thought, "that's a cool new word!" Then I realized it was a typo.
practically in a hurt-comfort fic
With a nice comforting cuppa tea and everything!
Ten is the spawn of awesome! He is awespawn! Erm, I need to go to bed now.
BSG: Just got up to "Collaborators" in Season Three. Dear God, I'm going to be upset when I run out of episodes.
Oh dear lord, that Eureka promo is made of AWESOME!!! Go singing, dancing CFerg!!!
Four is really my first doctor, and Ten evokes him in the exaggerated facial expressions and mania.
I made it through DW 2x13 tonight. ::sob:: She said she would stay with him forever?! I didn't believe her at the time, but I'm not any less sad. Also some guy walked by in the background of Torchwood at the beginning of 2x12 wearing a suit and a pink shirt. I was secretly hoping for Ianto.
I will say at this point in the series I am getting my hate on for Mickey. I'm tired of listening to him whine about being the tin dog.
i'll just say...yes.
Ha! I think that's where I started to like him. But he gets much better in the next few episodes.
tiggy and P-C, okay, I take it back. Mickey is made of Awesome. He's awespwn. And with self confidence, he suddenly became hot too. That is probably included in the definition of awespwn though.
Mickey became totally awesome: I loved that.
