the winter system Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Who else is super excited for the new doctor? This topic can have spoilers for season 10! Spoiler I'm kinda sad Bill is getting her happy ending with Heather because Thirteen and Bill would be awesome and gay. I mean I just love Bill Potts and I'm so glad she's getting a happy ending with her girlfriend, but still! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyht Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Every change makes me go "hmmmm... I dont know if I am going to like this Doctor". Only because I like the previous Doctor so much. But every time I really like the new one. We will see... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draginon Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think it'll be interesting to see if anyone in universe will treat her any differently, especially in the historical settings when women weren't taken seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 This is probably their best bet to have a Doctor that does not rely heavily on a classic Doctor like Tom Baker or William Hartnel. Hopefully they won't squander it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect her inherent Doctor-ness will overwhelm and annihilate any such resistance. She's still the Doctor. I am quite excited. They've been teasing the possibility of a female Doctor since the early 80's. Finally! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if they had it in her first episode trying to get into Doctor mode because people won't give her a chance just because she's a woman but after that she should give off the air of authority. You have no idea how nice it is. To me it doesn't matter if the Doctor is a man or a woman, the Doctor is the Doctor, but I like seeing each iteration being different from the last. It's also disappointing hearing the sexist remarks on other boards, like on Rangerboard someone said that her son doesn't have a role model anymore and another gave a good rebuttal to another naysayer "oh, I believe you're mistaken, they cast an actual woman, not a man wearing fake breasts". Pretty half the fandom seems to be against it just because she's a woman now. Sure people complained about Capaldi being old, but that was a minority of people who were used to the Doctor being a boyfriend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll honestly be extremely disappointed if they go that route in her first episode. The angry misogynists have been quite entertaining. I've been treating them like the bunch of angry young whippersnappers they are. I've been watching Doctor Who since I was a kid in the 80's. Now I get to shake my cane at the whiners and tell them to get off my lawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see it more as continuing the 'what kind of Doctor am I?' they do for every first episode so she has to find her own version of Capaldi's shuttity up moments. Its always silly hearing naysayers when it comes to a character played by multiple actors. Heck most people don't want a woman playing James Bond. In a sense a woman wouldn't be playing James Bond, the character would be Jane Bond! I've been watching the show since Smith was the current Doctor but I've gone all the way back to Hartnell so I know the show. My favorite Doctors had to be Pertwee, Troughton, C Baker (courtesy of Big Finish), Hurt and of course Tennent. Despite those five being my favorites I technically don't have a least favorite since I like them all in their own ways! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I don't really care what the Dr is as I won't see anyway. Our cable provider dropped BBC America in Capaldi's 1st season and then Netflix dropped it as well. made me furious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 There's not even that many people who are against it. A very small and vocal minority are being babies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now I feel the need to go back and watch many Capaldi episodes so that I can relearn all of his good quotes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
