Watched Caprica this morning. Vague non-spoilery comments. I liked it enough to be interested in seeing more. It has an unique feel to it. At times it felt like 50s spy/cop drama, then 60s psychedelic sci-fi, with the music of a BSG feel. I am very interested in the story to follow this setup. Nothing bugged any more than the usual handwavium required with the science stuff.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The Children in Need specials since 2005 have been canon, which is not necessarily so before then.

I can't picture the real Doctor and Rose ever having a sexual relationship
I certainly could when Captain Jack was around the first time. But that was Nine, not Ten which makes a big difference.

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.

When Captain Jack's around it is easy to imagine anyone having a night of pleasure with just about anyone else, particularly Captain Jack.

Amen.
In fact, wasn't it Donna who was telling Captain Jack he could hug her? No, really, he could?

I think, in a way, losing Donna is ultimately more heartbreaking to him than losing Rose.
Well, yes. Because he didn't take anything away from Rose. In fact, he gave her a copy of himself. It might make him feel a little verklempt, but ultimately he knows Rose will never be able to forget him. And that's what most people crave, being remembered.
For Donna, he had to take himself back and leave her with less. She lost her memories and he lost her memories of him, too.
As for OTP, Doctor/Capt. Jack all the way. :)

Barb posted a Who casting spoiler about 22 posts ago. I edited it out.
Please, no spoilers in this thread, even in spoiler-font. Casting spoilers go in the Spoiler Lite thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I never even noticed that, Jon.
I think the Doctor left Donna with more than she was before he met her, even if it wasn't more than she became with him. It was just different.

Sorry, Jon. Glad I at least white-fonted it.

I usually dislike fanvids - I know it's a matter of taste, but I hate most of the music the fans attach to it, and it makes it ridicules to me
Clearly you've only been seeing the crappy ones, Shir. Laura Shapiro (who is, conveniently, laurashapiro on LJ) has made at least two completely awesome Doctor Who vids, as well as some completely awesome Buffy vids, for that matter. If you're interested, I think you might be pleasantly surprised the number of really good vids out there -- with much better music than Evanescence!
