Does it suck?
A little. But Victor Garber! Singing!
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, I know! He had me at "Freedom".

Anyway, checking out the imdb section on Eli Stone, it appears to be Ali McBeal: The Next Generation? Premisewise?
It very much is. I don't think it sucks, but then again I also liked Ally McBeal.

I found Eli Stone a disappointment. (Did it get picked up?)

I liked All McBeal in small doses. Some of it I liked enormously, actually (especially John Cage. LOVE Peter MacNicol) but whereas I really enjoyed the initial show-us-what-she's-thinking style of thing, it irritated me when that sort of segued into 'oooh she's so special and magical! Look, unicorns!' kind of thing. I didn't have a hate-on for the titular character, but I did like the supporting characters more than her.

I liked Ally, but I loved John Cage. Peter MacNichol is the reason I started watching Numb3rs.

Yay! Yay with the MacNicol love! (Oh, man, I heart Larry SO! I'm very fond of most all the cast of Numb3rs, but Larry I want to keep. [also, the Larry/Charlie thing makes my head go boom with the adorability, but that's another story])

Were there to be another regeneration in the foreseeable future, who do we think might make a good Eleven?
Jennifer Saunders!
Just kidding. Might be fun to toss about theories about how they're going to retcon it.

I think I might laugh myself to death if they actually cast Joanna Lumley when the time comes.
It would be nice if we could get a guest appearance by Romana at some point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we haven't actually seen her on the show (as opposed to the non-canon novels and audios) since she rode off into the sunset in E-Space, right? Theoretically she could come back from there at any time unaffected by the Time War.
