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.

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.

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

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

By this point, the British press has trumpeted everyone short of Daniel Radcliffe and Hugh Grant as the next Doctor. And I don't think they're ruling out Radcliffe. (Although James Nesbitt was on the Graham Norton Show once again denying that he's the next Doctor.

Nope, she's appeared in some of comics, books et al, but their canonicity is dubious. They could bring her back easily whenever they wanted. Now, RTD's been on the record somewhere or other saying she wouldn't be back, but now that he's out of the picture, they could do so with a minimum of fuss. Assuming that's a story they want to tell, of course.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
question for you old school Whovians. did the Time War happen before we saw any incarnations of the Doctor? or did it happen during someone's run, but was only alluded to?
