'Time Bomb'
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.
No body, no death.
"Next week, on Stargate Atlantis, you won't believe what happens in the last five minutes..."
ION,
I watched Who 3x02 tonight.
The one about Shakespeare.
"Oh, 57 academics just punched the air."
That was worth the whole series really.
you are moving, Austin!
i've started a rewatch, but i'm only up to 1x04.
I did cheat a bit. I skipped series one this time so I wouldn't be swayed by Nine at all. My heart belongs completely to Ten. When I finish 4x13, I'll watch Nine again so I can more fairly judge.
My heart belongs completely to Ten.
Me. That'd be me.
Until last week, I had seen exactly one episode of Doctor Who. The one with the last human skin graft.
Never identified as a Whovian, even though, 20 years ago, my boyfriend was a vj in Pittsburgh who played the show every week. Just couldn't be fussed.
I'm watching Season 2 now, though I've already watched Season 4
Now? I'm gone. Head over heels besotted with David Tennant's Doctor.
I blame you lot.
One of us!
you should all watch this. i love how geeky he is about playing the Doctor. it's such a dream come true for him.
I had no idea Billie bought him the "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor" shirt. that's adorable!
All the more Nine for me, unbelievers. Though that has no bearing on my DT love--made all the more plaintive by his video diary. He wears stubble well.
Watching Satan Pit, and damn those Torchwood Archives guys are HOT. Those women, if not currently abandoned or dead are lucky as hell.
Well, I loved David Tennant even before he got the Doctor job, so there!
My Saturday evening? Strangely empty. However, SO is away this coming week, so it might be the perfect opportunity for my second-half-of-season-4 rewatch.
All the more Nine for me, unbelievers.
Yeah, I'm with ita here. I adore Tennant, and I love Ten, but Nine *is* the Doctor, in my mind. Nine is the man I'd follow to the end of the universe and back, the man I'd trust absolutely with my life. He's *my* Doctor.
Aw, yeah, I do love the video diary. Although it makes me a little sad that Ten doesn't speak with Tennant's real accent. (After all, Sylvester McCoy didn't put on an RP accent, did he? I can't recall, but I'm fairly sure he was himself.)
Loved Nine to pieces - I don't know whether the full impact of him being a Northern, blue-collar version of The Doctor, but it made me a very happy bunny. "Lots of planets have a North."
"My" Doctor, however, remains Tom Baker. Even though I only remember him foggily, he was so iconic, and he was The Doctor for such a lot of my childhood - floppy scarf, K9 and all. I was a bit dubious about Five, but he was okay. I liked Colin Baker's Six (felt bad for the guy - they gave him The Stupidest Costume in the history of ever, and clearly they didn't have much confidence in the show by that point) but couldn't get past the fact that Sylvester McCoy had been on kids' TV shows ( Jigsaw, iirc.) Mind you, I liked Ace.
Eight doesn't count.

Fay, come to the SPN thread! We would love to hear if you have any thoughts!!
You know, I tried to do exactly that this morning, and wrote a whole long thing...and the computer ate it.
I was so sad I hadn't the heart to write it out again, but I'll have another crack now.
