When are we going to officially get the first two here, or have they not announced that yet? I noticed last night that BBCA was showing part one of Sontaran Stratagem, which was the fourth or fifth episode of S4. So I'm wondering if around June or so.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

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.

The American airings of past Xmas specials have been generally bundled in with the season that follows... I don't know how they will handle this season-less bunch of episodes. Possibly they might bunch all the specials as a mini series, which means they wouldn't be seen until after the last one airs in 2010. Or they might bunch them with Series 5 airing which would make it even later.
Or they may run them as specials, which would be the best way to do it. Doesn't SciFi (I refuse to use their new brand name) do first American airings and then BBCA airs them much later?

Last season SciFi (I'm with you, Nora, the new name--ptui--we shall speak of no more) aired each episode two weeks after the BBC UK showing. But, we haven't seen the Christmas special here yet, have we? I've gotten in the habit of ahemming them, so I lose track of what's shown when, anymore.

I went to the SciFi fan boards and apparently they haven't announced when (or even if) they will be airing the specials.
This thread is dedicated to discussion of the upcoming Doctor Who specials, including the 2008 Christmas special and four additional stories set to run in 2009. As of yet, the Sci-Fi Channel has not announced if they will be broadcasting these stories. The program will return with a fifth full series in 2010.

Our wings are not tired.
Watched Easter Who this morning. It was delightfully entertaining. The balance of Doctor Who with the scary and the funny and the over the topiness suits me perfectly. Like an old shoe it is. Sad that there will be so little new Who this year.

The penultimate ep on Christmas (yay!!)
But I have to go to India to get married or whatever! That's really inconvenient. That's a good excuse not to go, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think it would be an excellent litmus test for a wife.
"I can't get married then: Doctor Who is on."
"It is? I can't believe our parents scheduled it for one of the very few days the show is on this year. Of course we can't have a wedding then."

Really excellent Chuck. Not sure how I feel about what the previews are hinting (or, you know, SCREAMING) at. LOVED the movie shout-outs during the ep. Unfortunately, I've completely spaced on the first one that really grabbed my attention, dammit!

Re: Chuck. I was trying to remember what the "Hungry Like the Wolf" video looked like (all I'm remembering is one of the guys - Simon? - in a hat ducking through and around things) because I wasn't sure if the wacky chase scene with Chuck, fake fiancee, and evil uncle through the house was supposed to be a riff on the video.
