Time for a female Dr......

The Doctor's daughter hasn't turned back up yet has she?

Sugar, firsts are always bad ideas, and leads to the failure of any concept that employes it. Case and point america has been yammering for a first black president and we got one. Did we wake up to milk and honey, yeah but it was in the form of an enema. Now I hear the Sado-Masochistic opened minded dreamers among us are all wet panties for a woman president, I know this will end badly most Likely in a zombie apocalypse❗️

Might as well be. Only lesbians watch this show anyway

Maybe it is time for a black Dr Who...

...or an Asian one...

Well if you watch Dr Whore the Dr after Matt Smith is a woman

A doctor for females? A gynechologist?

"Use the fork, Luke"

No.

Why? Equality? ... Don't be daft!

Doctor Who is a character, he has a written gender... maybe it's fixed, maybe not... but changing it just to tick some feminist boxes would be wholly unnecessary. Any suggestion that it would be somehow chauvinistic not would be patently absurd.

Dr. Who has had many strong female characters. It also has the gay Captain Jack Harkness. Heck, even one of the Slitheen children had a modern family (two daddies) ... so it's not like it needs dragging into the 21st century (Unlike Bond, where the appointment of a strong female MI5 head was a good move for a show that looked increasingly dated and stuck in the 50's)

And I even didn't mind that they reimagined Ghostbusters with a female team - the fact that it fell on its face and was almost universally disliked is down to the flat writing rather than the gender changes. It was an opportunity to bring something fresh and different - they didn't do that, and so it was seen for the lazy gimmickry that it was.


So by all means, suggest a female incarnation of Dr. Who ... there'd be some initial resistance, but I'm sure the writers could make it work if the casting was just right. But to suggest "it's about time" is to push an agenda, and that's a simply terrible reason to mess with the format. It's gimmickry, and the viewers will see through it and turn off in their droves.

If they do it, it should be because the writers have found a great engaging storyline and a strong female lead who can actually pull off the job, not as some arbitrary appeasement to the PC lobby.

About time... bah!
