Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
As much as I love Sarah Jane as a character, I do tend to zone out during the more kid-focused parts of her own show. But I wake back up for Liz Sladen's performance, which tends to be wonderfully nuanced for the material she's performing.
Plus, that eye-rolling fanfare that goes with Mr. Smith's appearance in every episode made for a good joke in "The Stolen Earth."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was impressed at the sense of jeopardy that SJA would leave you with at their cliffhanger (once a week), especially towards the end of the season. Who is much less of a kids show these days, but I think SJA is a good fill-in in the universe.

I'm still shocked when I hear that Who is supposed to be a kids show, what with the death and the genocide and the omnisexuality and the occassional dancing. But I suppose perhaps it's more of a kids show inasmuch as The Muppet Show was ... sorta. And I suppose that if I had kids, I'd rather they watched Who as opposed to some of the other mind-numbing fanfare out there.

I think Who was more of a kids show back in the day, but I'm not sure it's being presented that way since its return.

Punishingly Intricate
You guys didn't watch the Sara Jane Adventures! (He comes into the picture in the very first episode.) Netflix the dvds when they come out.
My netflix queue is already too long (have to get through Season 1 of Friday Night Lights AND Mad Men still)! could somebody just explain it please?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
it was promo free. we were left flailing with just the "TO BE CONTINUED".
The BBC did release a promo, but it was basically all Davros going MWAHAHAHA rather than giving you any clue as to what was going on with the regeneration.

I've heard it referred to as a "grown up Who"

Yeah, Who left at my age and came back at my age. Very considerate, all told.
