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.

Didn't they do a DC/Doctor Who crossover in the 80s at some point? I mean, I'm old and probably thinking of something else, but hey maybe.

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:

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
