Wheat Loaf posted:I feel like there's been less active speculation this year. I know that's erroneous but I think there was a lot more "Who could it be?" when Tennant and Smith left. Perhaps it's because speculation coalesced around two or three actors (Kris Marshall, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and, at least early on, Olivia Colman) fairly early on. The issue with all of these is that the BBC wants a handsome man, and Kris Marshall doesn't cut it, imo. It's probably either Tom Rosenthal or Chris Mason.

Luke Treadaway and Sacha Dhawan have been mentioned. (Dhawan is the only one who can realistically follow Capaldi on the eyebrow front.)

Still think they should do a full year of having a different actor playing the Doctor every episode. Even between two halves of a two-parter. Get a bunch of people who wouldn't normally commit to a year or more of the show, but would be happy (or at least willing) to do a single episode. No explanations, either. No regeneration scenes, no technobabble, nobody in the show notices or remarks on it in anyway whatsoever, no nothing. Just, one episode it's Dame Judi Dench, next it's Jürgen Prochnow, next it's [whoever]. Wouldn't that be awesome? And can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth over "canon" as idiot nerds try to reconcile it all? It would be glorious.

Jerusalem posted:.....Packer... Invasion was the first Doctor Who I ever saw. I had at the time the general idea that I should start anything I watch from the beginning and having not at the time any way to actually do that, I ignored the new show and picked up a couple of DVD's at the local Book and movie place. It was Invasion, Five Doctors, and I think the Sea Devils. Luckily I watched Invasion first. It cemented in place my favorite Doctor and companions right off the bat and I walked around smugly calling my buddy Packer for at least a day. I got around to watching the new show which was at about half way through the Donna season at that point a little later and was hooked ever since.

Alright, that's a decent game! 12 episodes, 12 one off Doctors!

One thing I've thought of for a regeneration episode is have the Doctor regenerate with a new actor... But he still has the old personality, and doesn't feel he has regenerated. In fact, before shooting, they go through the episode with the old doctor, and make notes of his movements and phrasing, basically blocking, almost rotoscoping the new actor onto his phrasing, mannerisms, etc. Have this go on for 20 or 30 minutes and then...BANG! He finishes regeneration with his new persona. Alternatively, use other old doctors, during regeneration he pops between them each for a few minutes, before settling on another one. (This would also explain why they have changed, Davison could be Davison as he looks now because its not supposed to be the original one, its just a brief reverbation in his biomorphic signature, etc.)

IRL, I've known two fans of the show bothered about which gender/sex/race the Doctor should/could be. The guy thought the Doctor should/could be a woman and/or ethnic minority, the gal was insistent that the Doctor shouldn't/couldn't be a woman. I was never quite able to piece together her reasons though. Also: quote:Rumours Suggest New Doctor Who May Be Not Just For loving Nerds http://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2017/07/05/rumours-suggest-new-doctor-who-may-be-not-just-for-loving-nerds/

They should get a woman in the role because women are criminally neglected for great leads and this would be a step toward changing that. It obviously should be someone good for the role and nobody thinks otherwise, so "I just want them to get someone good at acting" is a meaningless statement. "I don't care what gender or race the character is" is basically just a way of saying "I don't care about diversity."  It's going to be a white dude, though.
