I'm all for political correctness.  However, established paradigms should not be bent to conform based evolving standards unless they are outright offensive in and of themselves.

 

For example, "Superman" shouldn't be a woman.  It's kind of impossible.  Make a new character.  Don't bend.

 

There's nothing against Doctor Who being any gender as long as the mythology supports it, which as far as I understand things, does.

That's why a short story arc would be awesomesauce!

They might choose a woman to play as the doctor since these days women have been getting roles in classic remakes like ghostbusters and ocean's eleven(Movies that had mainly males). I am also in favor of a male doctor  and hope they dont change his gender like they did with the master(although Missy was awesome, I really liked her)

And the box office results for those 2 female oriented remakes were?

 

Exactly.  If they make a female Doctor, it will kill the show deader than Sylvester McCoy and the amazing licorice allsorts man did.

 

That was just embarassing...

Or maybe have the Doctor disappear at the end of the Christmas special, when Capaldi departs. Have Romana or Iris Wildthyme or River Song take over for the beginning of the next season, searching for the Doctor. Filling the Doctor's role in the story without committing to a female lead.

 

If viewers like the "temporary" female lead, they can reveal that the Doctor regenerated into a woman.

 

Or give Romana her own series, which would be my preference. More Whoverse would be a good thing!

I would quite happily get behind a story idea like this, but don't make them turn out to be the Doctor after all!

I understand the point and all, but it's been hinted at over DECADES now basically, and we've seen several Time Lords change into women now. 

I've been watching Who since 1974.  I'm pretty sure that their was NO mention of the Doctor becoming a woman until the past few years of New Who.

 

As for seeing Time Lords change into a woman, apart from the Master, name ONE who was actually a character seen on the show and not just mentioned in an offhand manner since the show restarted.

 

And on the subject of The Master, with respect to Gonzales, she and Simm both did TERRIBLE jobs in the role.  The Master is NOT a homicidal maniac out to kill as many as he can!  He's a thoughtful, methodical, malevolent and purely evil monster who doesn't kill because it's fun. He kills because you're insignificant and in his way.  The only actors who ever really understood the role are the original actors, Delgado and Ainley (Pratt and Beevers aren't really known as well, but were also good).  Can we please have someone back the role who does it properly?

 

Oh, and we have HAD a female Doctor before! The Doctor Donna! How could anyone forget Doctor Donna?

aye! Finally another cumberbitch!    the odds are like 0.0000000000000000000% just cause he's sherlock :/ 

Why not? We've had actors play both Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes before. Tom Baker, for one. And Peter Cushing played both Holmes and Doctor Who in the two `60s Dalek movies. So there is precedent. And it isn't like they're producing Sherlock at a breakneck pace so he's got time ...

 

Not saying he'd be good or bad, just saying it isn't impossible.

They were broadcasted at the same time?

 

I dunno, seems  to me, seeing one actor in two shows, kinda make it a little bit boring no?

 

I'd rather they wait until he's done with sherlock (At this rate 202X :rofl: ) then come on as old as capaldi  :woot:

The last episode of season 9 (Hellbent) has a timelord regenerate from man to woman after being shot by the Doctor.

Yeah, that's New Who, after certain people decided to give way to the PC brigade. Bring me something from classic Who and we'll talk.

Yeah it was a comic I believe. Like I said though, I'm probably thinking of something else. But the Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover was pretty good (Borg working with the Cybermen is pretty cool imo :D )

The Cybermen were totally slumming with those knock-offs. :laugh:

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
