Mrs Doctor (A Doctor Who Thread)
There used to be a Dr Who thread but I can't find it. Have people stopped watching/lost interest?

Obviously the big talking point is the 13th Doctor is going to be the 1st female version of the character. Seems there's two camps; "it's a great/progressive/interesting move" and "HE SHOULD ALWAYS BE MALE!!!".

Anything got any thoughts on the subject?

I dont care personally as long as the writing is good HOWEVER I think this will jump the shark and could kill the show. Ratings are already down so they're hoping this stunt will shoot some life back into the franchise. Feedback is largely negitive so for the departing males viewership you will have to replace them with new female viewers for this to work. That seems like a gamble.


Its a double problem though because while the audience is 50% female already most came on board for the Tennent/Smith eras for their heartthrob appeal...which unless theyre bicurious this will not appeal to them and outside of the innitial gimmick pop this could seriously fall flat.


This also brings up a lot of lore questions. In 13 regenerations he just now turns into a woman? Why has this never happend prior? Is it just a low percent chance? It seems a little illogical. Is River bi? Seems like as his wife I hope he mentioned that this could happen...


tl;dr I have little intrest in this. It's a PR stunt but could still be compelling if done right but it puts the show in real hot water and they need to be careful. 13th could be the last for sometime.

As long as they don't dwell on the Doctor's Sex or change the Doctor's personality in a major way (While they are all different they do share some underlying qualities). No low cut tops or short skirts as generally the Doctor wasn't flamboyant in that manner.

I am hoping the Christmas episode addresses the reason behind the change. If they were smart they should have just cast her as his daughter and have the actualy Doctor step back for a bit and gather his thoughts.

I have no issue with it. I'm an "on-and-off" watcher of the series.

My concern is that they're going through these actors like crazy. Always thought David Tennant was going to stick around for the long haul.

Now, The Doctor character is a pretty much a launching pad for up-and-coming actors. 2-3 seasons and gone. Sadly, the same goes with the companions.

The change doesn't bother me. The shit writing really bothers me.

Capaldi is a great actor and gave the role everything, but there's very few memorable moments/episodes from his tenure due to the writing. Are they just stuck trying to find something original to do after 900+ episodes?

Clara really hurt the show for me. She was positioned as the lead character and the most important person to ever exist in the Whoniverse. When you give a character that much importance, while also making them tediously annoying and introduce a love interest with the personality of a paper bag, the show is always going to suffer, regardless of who was playing The Doctor.

I'm looking forward to it.

The last 3 doctors have been fine. May take a few episodes to get adjusted but I have enjoyed them all.

Now if the companion isn't a male I say we riot.
