Dr. Walsh ,'Potential'
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 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.
SCC: BAG interview - non-spoilery.
Were there to be another regeneration in the foreseeable future, who do we think might make a good Eleven?
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.
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?

Is he out of the picture totally, or did he just step back?

The Time War is new -- it happened sometime between the last time we saw the Eighth Doctor, and the first time we saw The Ninth.
The Time War was never shown. It was made up by RTD, and presumably happened just before the 2005 series.
You can see it as a logical continuation of the events in Genesis of the Daleks in 1975, through to Remembrance of the Daleks in 1988.
