Oh, yeah. The whole dynamic of the first season is very different from what we're used to with new Who. If you've got the DVDs you have to listen to all the commentaries available. They give great background on what was going on when they were developing the show.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Eureka:
The people watching the show sound like us.
They so did. Almost like being at a W&P.
Because it's about 6 years too early? The first atomic bomb wasn't exploded until June of 1945.
I'm glad you explained this. I was trying to figure out the significance too. The date didn't get me because I figured Eureka had probably done nuclear testing before anything official. ION, I'm kinda bummed about the off screen museum closing. Can you imagine a Eureka museum? Or did that get re-opened when other things like not paying for food at Cafe Diem were back in balance?
Eureka: Derek was Marco!??!! (from the 4400). No wonder he looked familiar.
Oh holy hell! That drove me nuts trying to figure out why he was so familiar. So I guess Clark Kent was right that the glasses really are enough of a disguise.
Who:
We just started S2 of DW tonight. I don't like Tennant as the Doctor so far. I hope I get used to him soon.
This was me a few weeks ago. Now he's "my doctor".
"Just this once, everybody lives!!"
Destroyed me. There were random moments of tears for the next few hours.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I love the Who love around here, reading all y'all's comments about it as you watch.
And about Eureka, I think the blue goo Mme. Axewoman (yeah, I'm sure at some point I'll actually pay attention to her name) was looking at in the season opener is related somehow to the purple atomic detonation. Is it possible the implication is, Eureka is such a special place in part because of the purple fallout, and maybe she's got some condition that was a result of being too near ground zero at some point after that detonation, or maybe a parent was too near, or something? And she's really come to Eureka to find a cure?
Whew. I feel like that was a marathon Willow-style ramble.

I also wondered whether access to the museum was the real point of the cuts in town.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Right Ginger, me too.

Somebody asked about where David Tennant heard about fanfic: Friday Night Project.
