It's so far away, I don't really know. I'm pretty skeptical about Chibnall, considering how his past Doctor Who episodes were.

I don't know anything about Thirteen other than her actor and what she looks like, so I can't really say whether or not I like them yet.

I'm still refusing to, it feels so very wrong in my head considering the Doctor is pretty much my childhood hero. It feels fucking dirty somehow. Like if I fapped to Jodie I'd imagine Hartnell Doc just looking at me in pure horror. All the posts about breast expansion regeneration and Jodie feet posting is cruelly hitting me in my fetishes and I'm not sure if I can hold out any longer lads

all right. i got to the 4th episode of the tenth planet.

I never said I hated her or that the show was ruined. But clearly saying 'well doctor who was a good show' as a tongue-in-cheek jab in reference to the fact that a shitton of people are pissed and are going to freak the fuck out means I hate it I guess.

I unfollowed their social media for the same reason, I knew it was going to be nothing but bitching in the comments left right and center and I just couldn't care less.

I have nothing against a female Doctor except for the fact that I like to gag on the Doctor's cock, hence my initial saltiness. Kek.

Wasn't at all obvious that your response was tongue-in-cheek, especially since it was amongst a shitstorm of people unironically saying the same thing. I'm glad I was wrong though.

Personally, I'm expecting /who/ and everything to get better over time. Already it feels like most people here support it, and the big babies that are still whining will probably (hopefully) drop the show during S11.

>>85161648
"3 bags full" is from Baa Baa Black Sheep, the nursery rhyme. It make no sense in the context I put it in though, was just meant to be some nonsense that vaguely resembles a phrase.

>>85162274
2 years later, I still can't stand that one

I wish he had more great episodes but, where the actor is concerned, if this is going to be our last Doctor to be played for a white male actor for awhile (it probably will be, might as well come to terms with this starting now. the next next Doctor is either played by another woman or a black male) I'm glad it was someone like Capaldi and not another Tennant or Smith type.

>>85162457
thats true, if he was the last one it was a hell of an ending in terms of acting. he's fantastic

>>85162457
the only way we get another white guy is to meme the ginger thing as much as possible. make the next one an irish guy.

I cant see them doing 2 girls in a row, one becaue its goes against all evidence for canon we've seen and two because they will have already played all their cards and the gimmick would have worn off.

>>85162457
>>85162529
I love Capaldi but who gives a shit about who the "last white male actor for awhile" is? It's a completely meaningless description. You may as well mourn Colin for being the last blond Doctor for awhile.

Not to mention that there's no reason to believe that just because we have one female Doctor suddenly the balance will tip into the other extreme and we'll stop seeing white male Doctors.

How prominent is Jodie Whittaker in Broadchurch? Is she just recurring or is she a major character? I think I'm going to start watching the show to get acquainted with Chibnall's style of show and Jodie herself, as well as some comfy Tennant.

>>85162561
>gimmick

>>85162591
Not one of the two lead roles but she is a major character. Mother of the victim.

>>85162590
It's not exactly that that im worried about, it's just going to be that all the years of relative similarity will end. which isnt to say the show will be any worse for it. It's just like watching your favourite game series change up the forumala for the latest installation

>>85162603
it is a gimmick, she was chosen out of only a list of women

>>85162561
>>85162603
They did have The General say that all of her other incarnations were female and that when she was Ken Bones it was a one off, perhaps they'll stick to that.

>>85162648
>she was chosen out of only a list of women
The lack of self-awareness necessary to write something like this should be lethal.

All 12 previous Doctors were chosen out of only a list of men, you idiot. Were they gimmicks?

>>85162689
tradition is the opposite of a gimmick

and you're wrong, capaldi was the only actor who was even given an audition for 12

>Capaldi has some dialogue about being tired of going on tired of everything
>One is all, "Hmph. Tired of everything, you say? There's a great big universe out there to see."
>Capaldi: "I've seen it all. Blah blah blah moan moan."
>One: "Tut tut, What you need, my boy, is a change of perspective. Hmm.. yes change.. and not a moment too soon, I might add!"
>One giggles with glee
One: "I might have to save that one for later!"
>Capaldi talks about how he's gone through various changes already and how not even that's enough anymore
>One: "Then perhaps you need a REAL change, hmm? We Time Lords aren't just limited to.."
>One gestures to himself and Capaldi
>One: "this."
>Capaldi doesn't catch on and One moves on deciding not to press the issue
>Later in the episode after One has said his goodbyes and all and Capaldi can no longer hold back regeneration the First Doctor's words about a real change. The current Doctor smiles with peace now ready for change, it finally clicks how he can get a completely new perspective on the universe.
>The Doctor says his final words and regenerates into the first female bodied incarnation

>>85162652
Yeah, it seems likely that they'll allow one single line in an episode about a tertiary character dictate their casting choices for the rest of the show.

What are you talking about?

>>85162704
>and you're wrong, capaldi was the only actor who was even given an audition for 12
It's wrong to say that in the past they've only ever auditioned men for the role because for 12 they auditioned one single man? Do you want to try that again?

I don't understand how you can survive with so much cognitive dissonance coursing through your body. In one post you said that only auditioning women means it's a gimmick and bad, and then in literally your next post you mentioned about how for the last Doctor they only auditioned one single person and somehow that's fine and "tradition".

>>85162775
It's wrong to say that every doctor was cast from a list of exclusively men
there was no list for 12

>>85162775
also I'm a different anon so your high horse about cognitive dissonance is irrelevant. I'm just stirring shit and have no emotional investment in your argument

>>85162784
But that doesn't negate my point at all, it actually strengthens it. You're just nitpicking one tiny thing and using that as an out to the argument.

And sorry for writing so many words in my last post that you couldn't read it all, cletus.

>>85162689

AMAZING music, great locations, neat visuals, it's all just really well-done.

It’s intended that you read the Thals as the BBC, Davros as “Who” producer John Nathan-Turner and the Dalek Prime as Terry Nation. However, even Peel admits: “Not a single critic picked up on the allegory”

Is Doctor Who your favourite Tennant show edge? Do you like his performance in JJ / Broadchurch / Casanova / something else better?

Anyone know what's going on with the VK stuff?

So the Christmas special is just called The Doctors?

Holy shit Moffat couldn't resist could he?

>>85164032
I haven't seen Casanova, but I adore him in Broadchurch and Jessica Jones.

Yeah Doctor Who is probably my favorite, because besides Tennant there were other actors and characters I enjoyed in the show immensely. In Jessica Jones I was only really interested in her and Tennant's character, Kilgrave. In Broadchurch, similarly, I only cared about Ellie Miller (Olivia's character) and Alec (Tennant's character).

If I had to pick my favorite Tennant character out of Alec Hardy/Kilgrave/Ten it'd be a straight up tie between Kilgrave and Ten, I don't think I can decide. I want Kilgrave to dom me

>>85163959

>>85163991
> Why would that make it useless?

Because the examples you mentioned are not ecactly the same as knowing who did the killing and then watching scenes with said person acting innocent. I will know. There will be something lost when they eventually find the culprit. It's a show with a central theme: the murder of Danny. Knowing who it is just takes something away from it all.

>>85164124
I'm surprised you haven't seen Casanova! I agree with JJ it was tough to care about the other characters.

>>85164134
I disagree enormously with:

>It's a show with a central theme: the murder of Danny. Knowing who it is just takes something away from it all.

and I could point to examples like Twin Peaks working fine even if you know who the killer is, but if that's how you feel, that's how you feel. I will say that I think the dramatic irony of knowing the killer works just as well as the mystery, especially considering there are 2 more series that worked from that angle. The show isn't about "who is the killer", the show is about the town and all its characters, the way mysteries hurt people, the dichtomy between small towns picaresque image and seedy underbellies (easy to see where Chibnall was drawing from Lynch), etc. Then the second and third series have their own separate themes and ideas too. Plot isn't everything, surprises aren't everything, especially in a show like this.

In the early 60s what are now icecream vans used to sell Smash Mashed potato to kids instead. As this was not long after the war rationing had not long finished on Mashed Potato so it was considered an exotic treet, unlike the more common unrationed boiled potato. Children would run out of their houses when the Smash van came from street to street playing its jingle chanting "I potato, you potato, we all potato for potatoes!".

By the mid sixties however, the lure of the mashed potato had waned as children were spending all their pocket money on Beatles and Cilla Black songs. Something had to be done to lure the kids back to mashed potato vans.

Michellin starred French chef, Hugo LaPonce, was employed by the government as a mashed potato tzar and tasked with finding a way to arrest the decline of the industry.

LaPonce came up with the idea of putting the mashed potato in a wafer cone and shoving a sausage in it. To make sure people knew how modern his idea was he called it after the current year, 1966. Soon kids all across the country were eating nothing but 66s.

Working in Huntingdon life sciences at the time there was a young scientist called Margaret Thatcher who had invented a new cosmetic cream which she was testing on the eyes of kittens and puppies. The cream irritated the animals eyes, often leading to her having to gouge the kittens eyes out (something Thatcher loved doing because of her being evil and all) but to her surprise the cream was rather tasty so she re-marketed it as a food product called "Mr Whippy".

Mashed potato sellers started to sell this in their spare nozzles as a desert for the 66 but it never really caught on until one Irish seller parodied the design of the 66 and called it the 99. It spread like wild fire and when a marketing campaign by cadburys replaced the sausage with a flake it started to outsell the mashed potato 66.

Nowadays, most vans don't even bother selling mashed potato and children chant "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Icecream" whenever they hear the jingles.

Outrage from majority initially (including me) but literally changed tune over a day or 2, am currently excited to see how she does despite vehemently wanting a male doctor.

>>85164879
Mostly positive or ambivalent, somewhat offset by /pol/ invaders

>>85164879
Mostly positive from non-boardies. /who/ was pretty much spamming Whittaker for 2 days before the announcement.

>>85164879
The script matters much more than the actor. If anything is to be learned from PCap's tenure.

>>85164879

Broadly positive. Most people think it is a great idea and long overdue. There are a few dinosaurs about who can't except change but most are really excited about what CC is going to do and the bold changes he will make.

I left here 3 or 4 weeks ago because I didn't want any finale spoilers so I didn't even know Whittaker was in the running. It was all about Kris Marshall.
I'm pleasantly surprised, and interested to see how it goes. I'm not really familiar with her though so I can't say I'm excited just yet.

>>85164960
Honestly i dont know, i was so against it but now im defending it. I think it comes from me wanting to like the show, not just hoping i do. Im still worried about how drastically this could change the show but right now im cautiosly optimistic.

That being said however, i still dont like that they stole a role model from little boys to turn them into a role model for little girls. They could have easily brought back romana or even have a clara spinoff and achieved the same goals aside from """"progress points""""

>>85164982

I am a little scared. Although I don't really care who the cast Male/Female/Cat/Kaled/Bed Mattress I still think that it is too radical of a change. The Doctor is an icon, a brand and changing an image so drastically can off put the whole franchise, it's like changing the shape of the TARDIS, some risky business. I am scared of what the writers will inevitably be pushed to do and I feel when they do, the show and it's content so translucent and fake, it will no longer be enjoyable. Right now to parallel old and new, the show is up to the Sixth Doctors. Some scary times ahead.

>>85165063
I did, that was revealed before the series even started.
I think I left some time around Lie of the Land or Empress of Mars. So I knew a few things about World Enough and Time but I went into The Doctor Falls completely blind

>>85164256
why don't any of them make any effort to sound like the characters they're portraying rather than using their normal adult voices? Tennant isn't even attempting to sound like an old man, it's like they hired him purely because he's scottish and is moderately well known

>>85165003
>They could have easily brought back romana

Would you like a male Romana?

>>85165108
The show is literally built on change. It's not a big deal. Having the main character change face to Troughton was a much bigger change than this, especially when the last few series set this up anyway, whereas Tenth Planet ep4 came out of nowhere.

>>85164879
From my own perspective, I was pretty angry at first, mainly because I knew there was a 99.9% chance of a female doctor, and because I spent an hour watching fucking tennis and had just woken up from a 2 hour nap before that, and I don't do well waking up so suddenly, I was disoriented for a half hour after that. So after all that, having it confirmed really pissed me off. On another note, I hate pandering, and no matter what side you're on you have to admit this was only done to appease a certain group of people. So initial reaction was quite angry.

After getting some sleep, talking to a few friends that I have to maintain a certain facade with, and watching the reveal promo a couple more times, I decided that I'd give her a fair shake at the roll, and that admittedly, she looked the role very much. I realized that I was grateful for Chibnall not hiring some 20 year old, nose piercing, SJW with a dyke haircut and pink hair in the role. I'm crossing my fingers she isn't going to make stupid jokes about how awful men are like Moffat did every chance he gets, and I'm going to give Jodie and the new production team a fair chance to make the change they've made to the show a good one.

>>85165189
>I'm crossing my fingers she isn't going to make stupid jokes about how awful men are like Moffat did every chance he gets
I do not understand where people get this idea from. Have they actually seen anything of Chibnall's? He does not write this way. Even Broadchurch S3, covering very hot-button social issues, did not move to that sort of pandering style of writing. In interviews and his actual work, he's made it clear he's interested in attempting to find common humanity in characters and to write realistic, flawed people. Not to "score points" with so-and-so or whatever other fearmongering points people are thinking up now. Why not judge Chibnall and Whitakker based off their actual work, off actual evidence, instead of baseless fears.

>>85165108
im >>85164912

but i still agree with what you said, i guess my perspective is she's the doctor whether we like it or not so we may aswell try to enjoy the ride and hope that things turn out well

>>85165291
I'm unsure he'll bring back any writers from past series, given this writer's room idea getting bandied about. However, if he does, I would imagine hiring Dollard would be something he'd consider, as she has experience working in writer's rooms (from Australia), and is low enough on the totem pole, so to speak, that she would actually write in a writer's room (something I don't see someone who's ran an actual show, like Whithouse or Harness.

>>85165315
He's coming off the back of a critically acclaimed show he ran by himself for years. Personally, I think judging his work running a show is more important than judging the work he did writing scripts for other showrunners. Doctor Who will be his show, the way Broadchurch was, so Broadchurch feels to me the more sensible thing to base concerns and hopes off.

>>85165246

>>85165126
This change is a big deal for me, and I said That I don't really care, but the social climate we are in is still not mature enough for the change. Having The Doctor go from male to female, while not the same exactly, still rivals Hartnell to Troughton equally in the change aspect. Although I suspect every fans opinion have different in some way.

Do you care more about the reception to the show than the show itself? Get your mind out of it dude and just watch the show. Why care about Twitter and all that nonsense. Just let the man write, and let the woman act.

I see so many people do this here, get so wrapped up in the reception of the show, and it just makes me sad. You'll drive yourself crazy reading fringe reactions, instead of just watching and potentially enjoying the show itself. Why watch Claudia Boleyn, when you can watch Peter Capaldi? Why care about insane tumblr and insane /pol/ reactions to Doctor Who, instead of caring about the actual characters and stories of the show itself?

>>85165232
> Get out of the political headspace and think about why this has been discussed since the 60s, not just in today's current climate.

Not that Anon, but come on man. Yes they talked about it before, but they never did it. And any time other than """current times""" would have been a different story. But if you really think that in this day and age a female Doctor is just a coincidence or anything but pandering you are quite naive.

>>85165382
I'd be happy with it just as a reference to Capaldi's outfit and a way to conceal her identity for the first bit of the trailer, but I agree that it did work fairly well in its own right

>>85165393
Your perception of this is so warped. Can you not see that the politicisation comes from the fans? Look at Chibnall's actual comments and stop reading conspiracies into everything. Better yet, just watch the actual show instead of going "muh sjws" or "muh cletuses" or whatever endlessly about everything

>>85165403
I knew it was a woman as soon as we saw her body from behind because no man has hips like that

>>85165382
desu as long as her outfit isnt sexualised at all ill be fine, she should wear something goofy and modest.

>>85165439
I'm 100% confident that they will completely cover up her cleavage

>>85165439
I'm quite excited for the range of costumes they'll be able to draw from, I'm sure they'll put an immense amount of thought into it. I was a huge fan of 12's relative lack of costume, but I'd be keen for something noticeably creative with 13.

>>85165436
I suppose hips don't lie

>>85165347
>the social climate we are in is still not mature enough for the change.
With all the hints Moff put in during Capaldi's tenure, the longer they put it off, the bigger the shitstorm would've been:
Lore fags would've had another doctor/set of doctors to add to the claim that he just is male.
SJWs would've gone on about how it's 60/70/100 years too late, not to mention the inevitable shitstorm at 13 being a male after the deliberate in your face hints during series 10.

The show was about to die- ratings are at a severe low point. The risk of a female Doctor is likely to bring in more of an audience than it loses. Heck, even most lorefags will come back to the show at some point out of curiosity, and by that time Whittaker's Doctor will probably win them over.

>>85165436
I'm almost ashamed to admit I didn't know it was a woman until her face was revealed
>the hips
>the hand

and yet I had no idea

>>85165382

The Valeyard has a hood of sorts so it is guaranteed.

How many costume variants will 13 have on rotation?
Will they make a conscious decision to make her wear the same outfit a lot so they can take a stand against the "women have to wear something different every day" meme that people get so upset about with news presenters?

I am actually quite open minded about it, and am certainly going to watch the show. Mainly because Moffat's gone and the fact that for some inexplicable reason i saw "The Doctor" in this shot where Jodie smiles when the TARDIS materializes.

I am just saying that with all the things going on in various pieces of media that this is NOT a mere coincidence. It simply isn't.

Why do you guys keep defending a show that doesn't want you to watch it? Is it because now you can fap to the Doctor?

>>85165541
Sex was mostly normal. They just had to always be covered under a blanket. Best sex ever was when she was mostly fully clothed, actually.

Thank God for not making you this autistic, /tv/.

>>85165543
I'm not saying it's a "coincidence", I'm saying the show has never been apolitical, the Doctor has never been apolitical, and acting like 13's casting was political and somehow previous castings weren't is falling prey to this silly political outrage angle people are so keen on. The craziest thing is how people get outraged off getting outraged of other people getting outraged. "Chibnall is a sjw because he cast a woman, look at these stupid sjws gloating about it" is as dull as "Moffat is problematic because he cast men, look at these stupid cletuses happy about it". It's just so tiresome, and disconnected from the show itself.

So I'm betting at least three.

>>85165646
I see your point Anon. And maybe I am a bit more sour about it thanks to Marvel shitting on their comics AND fans. I just have been burned by it. And it still feels somewhat off. But you're right. Doctor Who was always a "freethinking" show, if you know what I mean. If there's any show that can pull a sex change its Doctor Who.

I also got told "THE NEW DOCTORS A WOMAN" by a friend before I even knew WHO it was. So it felt off going into the trailer. But like i said, something about Jodie's smile when she sees the TARDIS makes me see "The Doctor" in there. It pretty much calmed my mind right there and then.

>>85165377
The reception of a show is very low or non-existent on my list of cares. I will watch a show (or at least give a chance) no matter what. And another thing I don't do is let any thing regarding all media affect my views on anything. I will give this a chance, but there is a danger I might not like it for what it may become. It is in the BBC/Chib/Staff writers powers now to make me turn off.

I get you. It's easy to form all these things into narratives, that's how we humans work after all, but it's healthiest to remember they really are separate. Marvel and the BBC are not colluding to put more women on screens or whatever. DW is all about changing things and experimenting, the show rots whenever it stagnates. I understanding how the way you hear the news can affect your thoughts on it though, totally. I agree that that shot of her smiling was very reassuring.

I've seen a lot of talk from many places that Bill's homosexuality was overplayed, or (to put it how I see it phrased most) "shoved down our throats. I have to admit that I didn't quite see this being the case, but it has made me curious. So, because this is the scintillating kind of way that I like to spend my Monday night, I crunched some numbers to see if there was any truth when compared to other companions.
I looked at every episode of each of the six main female companion's tenures, and broke it down to two types of mention, which I refer to in the data as:
References: Any mention - from a companion briefly talking about it (think Rose asking Gwyneth about boys in the Unquiet Dead) all the way up to romantic partners onscreen with them.
Inclusions: This is the more specific, and perhaps more important part; this is only times when a companion is seen onscreen with a love interest or kissing someone romantically. The top half of the above, really.
So this is what I came up with. It could be debated this is still subjective, but taking the initial five straight female companions gives us:
ROSE TYLER
Appeared in: 31 episodes
References: 24 episodes | 77.42%
Of which Inclusions: 19 episodes | 61.29%
Notes: Rose was a tricky one to look at, mainly because I was unsure whether to count the Doctor towards the Inclusions, and therefore References, category. In the end I settled for only counting him for episodes where there is a kiss, or talk of the matter (For instance, I counted their talk about settling down in The Impossible Planet as a Reference, but her declaration of love in Doomsday as an Inclusion).

>>85165858
>>85165910

DONNA NOBLE
Appeared in: 16 episodes
References: 7 episodes | 43.75%
Of which Inclusions: 5 episodes | 31.25%
Notes: Again, in the interests of fairness, I didn't include Donna and the Doctor's running joke of having to deny they were a couple; after all, that is based on other character's perception of her sexuality, not her own, so doesn't really count.
MARTHA JONES
Appeared in: 19 episodes
References: 11 episodes | 57.89%
Of which Inclusions: 5 episodes | 26.32%
Notes: Once again, I only included her unrequited love for the Doctor as being referenced in an episode only when it was, despite it being there for her whole series as full-time companion.
AMY POND
Appeared in: 32 episodes
References: 28 episodes | 87.5%
Of which Inclusions: 26 episodes | 81.25%
Notes: Amy is easily the highest number on here, thanks to the presence of Rory throughout her tenure. I was wondering whether to count it for stories where their relationship/marriage is not outright mentioned, but I decided to as if Bill had've had a girlfriend/wife aboard the TARDIS people would've argued as it counting towards her sexuality being "shoved down our throats."

>>85165725

Better idea:
Row upon row of identical outfit.
looks at several identical outfits saying "no." "not this one" etc
picks up one completely identical outfit.
"Now, THIS is me."

It is a massive cop out though to blame it all on streaming though, and even with streams taken into account it's criminally low.

Series 7 stabbed the show in the chest. I blame Caroline Skinner.

If you don't think Whittaker is the best incarnation of the Doctor, you are a misogynystic piece of shit.

Hang urself pls uwu.

>>85165858
>>85165910
>>85165926

CLARA OSWALD
Appeared in: 35 episodes
References: 21 episodes | 60%
Of which Inclusions: 13 episodes | 37.14%
Notes: I didn't count Victorian Clara or Oswin here, just main Clara. I'm also aware Clara was bisexual to a degree, but as she was only shown overtly with a male love interest I counted that side for the sake of the data.
This gives a final average statistic of the straight companions having their sexuality referenced in 65.31% of episodes, and included more overtly in 47.45% of episodes. Now to look at Bill:
BILL POTTS
Appeared in: 12 episodes
References: 7 episodes | 58.33%
Of which Inclusions: 4 episodes | 33.33%
So the numbers do really show that any perceived overplaying of Bill's sexuality is pretty much not the case. In terms of references to it she is 7% below the average and in terms of inclusions, a whopping 14% below the average.
While to a lot of us it was pretty obvious that the statements at the start were not really the case, at least here is some solid data proving this is not the case.

reminder vale decem exists in lore and the Ood sung it to 10 as he died. and the doctor speaks latin so he understood it all

>>85165937
I know mate, that's why I literally pointed out it would be reductive to blame it all on streaming, then offered other ideas for the decline as well. Streaming is a big part but not everything. That's what I said.

>>85165910
You need to remember that there is a very important difference between romance being a part of the plot and just mentioning your sexuality for the sake of it

real gay people don't announce to everyone that shows any interest that they're gay, they'd usually just deflect without revealing it like that

>>85165970
>References: Any mention - from a companion briefly talking about it (think Rose asking Gwyneth about boys in the Unquiet Dead) all the way up to romantic partners onscreen with them.

I know you did, I just wanted to jump in and show the chart is all. I was mostly agreeing with you.

I thought has just occurred to me. Would Doctor Who(the franchise) be in better shape if Steven finished along side Matt?

>>85165996
Sorry for snapping your head off then (:

>>85165371
Also a fan. Even if the ending is a bit cheesey (why did they make their chameleon circuit not work?) it's shot beautifully, the sets are superb and we get some of the best acting from Capaldi, Coleman and Quasimodo.

Heaven sent is a better first half but I was not dissapointed by the second half.

Bill's sexuality is totally underplayed, for what it's worth. She has a crush in the first episode, and goes on a couple of ill-fated dates in the middle of the run. There are two instances where a guy tries to hit on her, and she has to explain she's not into him. A couple of other small references.
Compared to the amount that Rose or Amy will talk about their sexuality from scene to scene, episode to episode, Bill's might as well be invisible. It's a fact of her life, but not a focal point. Except that it's not the cultural norm, so people pretend that they're being assaulted with it.

>>85166001
no because then we never would have had the capaldi era, which from a quality standpoint has objectively been the best era of nuwho

it doesn't do as well in the ratings because it's a pleb filter

>>85163320
>men were not even considered.
Sort of like how women were never considered for all the other auditions

Really makes you think, huh

>>85166050
Exactly. Casting the first ~12 Doctors was just as political as the 13th. Great thing now is we have precedent for casting from a wider pool of actors, so the "muh merit / muh best actor for the role" folks can really get their wish, as future Doctors can search for the best actors across both men and women.

>>85166045
Still with Capaldi but with a different show-runners direction and ideas. I feel he would be just as awesome if not better and I fucking hope Clara would be as well.

>>85166075
Yeah, that's the best lasting effect of this. In the future they'll (probably) audition people regardless of gender. The first non-white Doctor would similarly open up the role even further which should make the "it should always be the best person for the role" people very happy.

>>85166075
I'm just glad the shitstorm is happening now, when all it's going to do is bring more people into talking about a show that has fallen out of the public eye. Literally the best time to pull the trigger.

>>85166075
Acting is basically the only profession where discriminatory hiring is allowed
they'd never cast a black man to play queen victoria, to give a hyperbolic example. This is technically discrimination but I don't think anyone would argue against it. Writers are perfectly within their means to write characters with an intended sex or race, because those things can be relevant to the character in the script

>>85165854
Yeah, It really helps to stop and think, and not see a bloody connection in everything. It's also quite hard. All in all I just hope Chibnall and Whittaker can deliver. Not matter the reason, one thing still stands. Chibnall and Whittaker(and everyone else involved with running the show) have a very very tough road to walk. This Doctor's run has GOT to be good. It can't be like Capaldi's era with a mix of gems and turds, where only Caldi's acting chops carried the show.

The show has a lot to prove now. It could backfire easily. That's the only worry I still have.

>>85166132
Yup, also since the last few series have laid the lore eggs for it, it really was the best time in-story and out-of-story.

>>85166149
Sure, although some great stuff can be done with casting in unconventional ways or casting purely for merit (a lot of Shakespeare adaptations just hire the best actors regardless of historicity and it works well). Good thing this is a role which explicitly can be either a man or woman.

>>85166132
Whittaker's first episode will have the highest viewing figures in years. It'll also produce the most headlines/discussion about the show in years.

>>85166149
>Writers are perfectly within their means to write characters with an intended sex or race
So you agree there's absolutely zero problems with Chibnall only auditioning women for 13, right?

>>85166110
I don't know. If not for Moffat we would never have gotten Heaven Sent, or the character of Missy, and stuff like that.
Moffat took a lot of risks and tried new things during 12s run. Capaldi himself would have been incredible even if we'd had a child running the show but I find it hard to think of a showrunner who would have done stuff like that. It would have been safer I think. We may not have had the lows of 12s run, but we almost certainly wouldn't have had the highs

>>85166195
>So you agree there's absolutely zero problems with Chibnall only auditioning women for 13, right?
yes

Just checking. I've seen too many people here say something similar as an argument against a female Doctor, somehow not realising that it also supports one.

it's much more needed now than it was back then. This is going to be scary considering NOTHING is carrying over. just like 10/11 except the doctor wont even seem familiar

That wasn't very nice Rusty

>>85166293
The Christmas special seems to be all about regeneration so it'll probably be enough. I expect to see 12 and 13 interact in a 60th anniversary special though (although I doubt 13 will be the current Doctor at that point).

I wonder how likely it is that Chibnall will want to do something for the 60th, or that the BBC will let him. 50 is a big milestone, 60 isn't necessarily special.

mate, having a male Doctor again would cause a massive shitstorm, it's not happening. They wouldn't take thst risk.

what will season 11 episode 1 be called?

Allright. Scenario time.
Multi doctor story somewhere in the future. How will the other Doctors respond to becoming a woman at one point?

From all of the I think Eleven would be the most excited and curious of the lot. With his goofy expressions, asking loads of questions. Ten would be somewhat neutral I think, and Nine would probably think its fantastic.

Captcha; select jewelery. Made me kek

>>85166404
It could go either way desu
surely people wouldn't be obnoxious enough to think that any male cast in the role from now on will be a step backwards for feminism

>>85166206
mmm, fair enough but I think you and me are on a completely different wavelength. Missing out on Missy and Heaven Sent is well work the idea that Peter would blew our minds with another Runner. I just didn't have the same zeal as you with Moffat's scenarios the past 3 1/2 years. Heh isn't individual thought a good thing

>>85166422
>Multi Doctor story

Yeah, this is not going to happen.

>>85166404
>having a male Doctor again would cause a massive shitstorm, it's not happening
The absolute state of cletuses. Of course there will be male Doctors again, 14 most likely will be one.

Not that I'd complain if they weren't. Nobody would have the right to complain even if the next 12 Doctors were all women.

Having ~12 Doctors played by women after ~12 Doctors played be men isn't really a crazy thought. If you want to buy into the whole outrage narrative, a non-white Doctor could go over well, then all the precedents for the role will have been opened up.

>>85166422
Not sure we can really predict until we see what sort of a deal 13 makes out of it.

>>85166422
>I have a vagina now! Vaginas are cool!

im pro jodie but if they do another girl after jodie it will literally be a completely different show, it wont be doctor who anymore. it would be like having sherlock become a girl and then be a girl in every rendition after that, having a change as an occasional thing is fine but to actually and actively act like a male doctor/female dynamic isnt the best dynamic for longevity of the show is ridiculous

>>85166424
>surely people wouldn't be obnoxious enough to think that any male cast in the role from now on will be a step backwards for feminism
Oh but they will, and they'll blame men for taking away their female Doctor in favor of another "fucking male Doctor"

I can already hear them screeching

>>85166465
That's how they should all be written, to be honest. Making a huge deal over a gender swap (and so far every instance of it in the show has treated it as something significant) goes against what they're also trying to set up. They want it to be no big deal that Time Lords can and do change genders.

Moffat's writing on it has always been contradictory like this, hopefully Chibnall handles it better.

http://doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Times_Doctor_Who_Was_Ruined_Forever

The show is quite literally about change, regeneration, transformation. The Doctor being 'recast' as Troughton made it a completely different show, "not Doctor Who anymore". The Doctor being stranded on Earth made it a completely different show. Scrapping the serial format and going with ~45min eps made it a completely different show. etc etc etc.

>like a male doctor/female dynamic isnt the best dynamic for longevity of the show is ridiculous
You haven't even see a female Doctor dynamic yet, you are the one acting ridiculous.
