Cross-post from TFW:
So it is a woman. I know this is going to be a breaking point for some people, but I'm fine with it. Between Whittaker and Chibnall, series 11 is going to feel very different and I'm excited to see how it turns out. If you are one of those viewers who's upset and going to boycott the show over this... I get it and I hope you'll come back someday. On the upside, you'll never have to complain about people demanding a female Doctor after this. Also, in b4 this is somehow Moffat's fault. |

Glad I'm taking next season off.

Kudos for the BBC for actually doing it. I understand how much this means to a lot of people and I'm glad it's just not wishful thinking for you any more.
It's going to an interesting season that's for sure.

Not surprising, in the eleventh hour (no pun intended). She shot to the top of the betting yesterday and has worked with Chibnall for a while. I'm keen on a fresh take for the show, even if I'm not a massive fan of hers.
I still wish it had been Atwell. |

Yeah, I'm not surprised either. Smith and Capaldi similarly shot up the betting market right before they were announced, too.

I’ll admit that I myself was a bit on the fence about a female Doctor, but watching Michelle Gomez as Missy these last few years completely won me over! I enjoyed her performance so much that I consider her to be my favourite Master―even more so than the character’s original actor, Roger Delgado. I took to Missy immediately, so I’m sure I’ll warm to Thirteen as well<3

For me, I'm burnt out on the show after the last 4 seasons ended up leaving a more "meh" taste in my mouth than I initially thought they did. As such, I had already decided that I would be taking off from watching the next season as it aired and just watched it at a later time regardless of who was chosen. Now for the doctor being a female, I feel like this was the safest choice. Or rather, this actrress was the safest choice. Why not go with a woman Capaldi's age? Do a woman that is not the age where males are only going to watch it because, "She's pretty." I also feel like completely changes the character and the show's history. The Doctor is meant to be a fatherly figure (sometimes even a grandfatherly one), so there is more to the character that makes the gender matter. It is one of his traits that defines his character. Would you want to see Scrooge changed to a woman? What about Alex in A Clockwork Orange? Then there are female characters that are the same that wouldn't work if they were changed into a male character. Wonder Woman, for example. What if they turned June Cleaver into some buff 19 year old? If they needed to do a female Doctor type show, why not give River her own show? Why not do a show about a different Time Lord? Why change a character who has been a male for over 50 years? Well whatever. I'm done. Good luck and good night. |
