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.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Does it suck?
A little. But Victor Garber! Singing!
