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.
Ooh, I just watched
Iron Man
yesterday, on crappy pirate DVD (having missed it in the cinema). It was...okay. I think too many people had said great things about it, so I was expecting it to be better than it was. Still, possibly the crapitude of the DVD didn't do it justice.
Hancock,
however (which I caught in the cinema yesterday), I
loved.
Much more than
Wanted
or
Iron Man.
Love love love.

And just to get back on topic - Leela I know more through the novelizations than remembering her onscreen, but she was cool.
I want Romana to return, though. Really quite a lot, I want Romana. Now
she
was fantastic. (A fellow Time Lord - a companion who wasn't in awe of the Doctor at all. She regenerated once during her run of travelling around with him.) The Romana I remember, ie the second incarnation we saw, was played by Lala Ward - ie Mrs Richard Dawkins. She helps him narrate
The God Delusion
in the version on my iPod, which makes for an interesting little collision of worlds.
She was Mrs. Tom Baker for a while. too, wasn't she?
Yes, Lala Ward was married to Tom Baker for a few years either while or immediately after she was on the show. She's since written a book on knitting that we had at the bookstore several years ago.
Tom Baker was my Doctor, and I met even met him at a convention when I was 17 (he's so tall!!). However, my love for Ten(nant) may be replacing TBaker in my heart.
Leelah on
Futurama
is specifically named after the Doctor's Companion, in fact.
And I have to state emphatically that the best Doctor is the first Doctor that I ever saw. And anyone who says differently is WRONG.
Them's fightin' words, Scola.
Leelah on Futurama is specifically named after the Doctor's Companion, in fact.
I thought she was named after the Turangalîla-Symphonie.
Maybe one came first.
...played by Lala Ward - ie Mrs Richard Dawkins.
Which is one of the things that made the
Richard Dawkins cameo in 4.12
so
cool!
My doctor is also Tom Baker. (He would be most people's of a certain age, I would guess, because his run was longer than anybody elses.) It doesn't stop me appreciating the newer, prettier Doctors, though.
Oh, quite right! I'm loving Tennant to pieces, and Eccleston was just a delight.
Were there to be another regeneration in the foreseeable future, who do we think might make a good Eleven?

So, look, hang on -
Eli Stone
has Jonny Lee Miller as the lead? WTF? Good lordy lord, the cast of
Trainspotting
really did go on to do well for themselves, didn't they? Between this and
Journeyman
and the ongoing success of Ewan McGregor, Kelly McDonald, Robert Carlisle et al. Bless! (I mean, I don't know if it bombed or was crap or whatever, because I'm only bumping into it because I was trying to find Victor Garber singing on Youtube - speaking of which, VICTOR GARBER SINGING ON YOUTUBE! Bless him! Still - go team My People! They is in ur teevee shows, stealin' yor jobs!)
Ahem.
Anyway, checking out the imdb section on
Eli Stone,
it appears to be
Ali McBeal: The Next Generation?
Premisewise?
Does it suck?
Does it suck?
A little. But Victor Garber! Singing!
