Having the 1st Doctor show up is so very very Moffat, and I am all for it.

How many different actors have played 1 now?

Not counting BF? Hartnell, Hurndall, and now Bradley. Technically Peter Cushing too.

"So, we managed to successfully bring the Mondasian Cybermen back in a creepy episode that really highlighted the horror of them. Now what? That stupid Iron Man flight would be good, right?"

Imagine someone lying, on the Internet!

The ignore function was practically invented for PriorMarcus.

He wasn't lying though. The Mondasian cybermen were absolutely sidelined for the newer models in part 2.

All current production rumors and buzz point to BBC having absolutely zero intention of casting a woman in the role. It's (almost certainly) not happening this time and all these articles are just wishful thinking. I'd love to be proven wrong, but we should probably just brace ourselves for Tennant 2.0.

Literally Tennant 2.0 is probably on the short list of things that would get me to quit this show for the foreseeable future.

My only problem with Olivia Colman is I've only ever seen her in Broadchurch playing Serious and Sad. Can she do whimsical and funny?

Peep Show and Hot Fuzz for sure. Of all the names rumored for a female Doctor, she's by far my favorite choice. She's great.

I still want to give the new showrunner and Doctor a chance but man if it is a boring choice I am not going to give it a ton of leeway

I've seen nothing he's done previous, what makes him so boring (aside from being another generic looking white guy)? Not arguing, just genuinely curious. Is he a poo poo actor?

I like him, but he's one of those actors I'd have difficulty separating from his previous work.

I am blown away by them just now realizing Doctor Who is about progress and more left wing stuff

Like that's always been a thing.

Ever since the beginning.

The Daleks were loving Nazis. Are Nazis. They are the most evil thing in the universe that the Doctor always fights.


But I can't be too surprised given the Zygon two parter.

See also; Trekkies when confronted with a female person of color as the new lead. (Also 25 years ago with a male person of color!)

I'd probably prefer a standard "blonde eh? How's the ears? Jesus." to actively lampshading the gender change with a Moffaty "ah excellent I'm a woman, so much better than being a man" or whatever

I wasn't referring to her gender at all, just another opportunity to dunk on C.Baker :confused:

And seven was not that...svelte.

It's just that picture. The actual figure is appropriately stout.
