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.
Well, he's a lot of fun to watch, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to watching
The Mummy,
but, you know, (North)
AMERICAN!!!!!
Which is to say: no. No no no no.
(...yes, I know this is hypocritical, since I'm always gleeful about Brits cropping up as Americans on American shows. I'm good with the hypocrisy. This is The Doctor, damn it! And he's a quintessentially BRITISH alien.)
That aside - I think Fraser's too big, strapping and pretty - too Leading Man. Too Captain Jack Harkness, in fact.
John Hannah, on the other hand...Or Omid Djalili...
...I suppose David Bowie is totally out of the question.
I was going to say, if we're nominating Americans, what about Alexis Denisof?
That aside - I think Fraser's too big, strapping and pretty - too Leading Man. Too Captain Jack Harkness, in fact.
But Fay, think of the pretty, pretty, pretty of Captain Jack running into Fraser as the Doctor. How delicious that Doctor's reproof of Jack's flirtatious nature.
Forget Jack giving Sarah Jane a nice roll in the hay, that's my new happy place.
You know, this is surprising even me, but I think I prefer the idea of Jack trying to pull Rachel Weiss!Doctor. I think that the genderfuck thing would bring a fabulous new spin to the Jack/Doctor thing. Hmm. And she's very versatile - I could see her being charmingly boffiny, but also badass and competent. Hmm.
However, I could happily spend the rest of the day thinking up Captain Jack/Random Hot Person scenarios...
Ooooh! Jack Davenport! (Yes, my train of thought was fairly simple there...)
Or Tom Hollander! Oh, he's adorable - he'd make a lovely Doctor!
First female doctor -- Judi Dench
...I suppose David Bowie is totally out of the question
David Bowie is NEVER out of the question
Man, Dame Judy would be
fabulous.
RTD (and I know he's bowing out, but still) is on record as saying he thinks it would be a mistake to make the Doctor female. Actually, I tend to agree with him on that. Rachel Weisz as Romana though, no question.
And, following on from the Romana discussion, is it canon that male TimeLords regenerate as male, and female as female...?
In the past, when the BBC were casting a new Doctor, they would sometimes drop hints that they were considering a woman for the role. But it was mostly a way of generating publicity; they were never really serious about it.
I'm not ready for a new Doctor quite yet, but probably will be after one more season.
Rachel Weisz as Romana though
That would be fabulous. Now you've got my brain spinning off onto my wish-list for Romana casting.
As for the Eleventh Doctor, I would love to see any of the following: Idris Elba, Damian Lewis, Alexander Siddig, Rufus Sewell (Edit: Tilda Swinton would be fabulous as well)
