Fuckity bye

 

[TatteredHat]

Came for the picture, stayed for the salt.

Didn't like Capaldi as the doctor at all, hopefully Jodie will be better.

 

[EGM1966]

The Doctor will never be ginger will they?

You can't just jump to really radical stuff like that. They're gonna have to work up to that and they've only just managed to get a woman cast for the first time.

Speaking of which good choice and look forward to seeing how she approaches the role.

They're going to have to bring Missy back for sure now so they can square off.

Any word on companions? Going by general form since Eccleston she should be getting an attractive young guy I guess.

 

[rtcn63]

If we get a female companion- I'm expecting Supernatural levels of shipping extremis

That's one way to get rid of him.

lmao

 

[tomtom94]

Colin Baker's basically spent all morning going at whiny pissbaby men crying over Whittaker's casting.

I love it.

Man, Big Finish really going downhill

 

[shadowkat]

Awesome. I will watch Doctor Who for the first time in years.

 

[Shiggy]

Could be good, could be bad. The last two to three seasons weren't disappointing because of the actors, they were disappointing because of the stories.

Has he been happy with anything about DW since the revival?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yes. We haven't had a female one yet, but they've been doing a lot of groundwork to establish this is possible. And it's the sort of show that'll wobble with its canon for the sake of whatever they want to do regardless.

Wibbily wobble!

 

[besada]

She was great in Attack the Block, and it's high past time we got something other than a white guy as Doctor. Looking forward to it. Also, I hope they bring River Song back in, just to make heads explode.

 

[louiedog]

Do we even know if Timelords have penises? Maybe it's not even that different.

 

[Zomba13]

I really want The Doctor to be completely unsurprised and not mention it at all EXCEPT for the lack of ginger hair. I want The Doctor to treat this as something completely normal just to rub it in on the people who hate this. Like, if you have the character themself be completely fine with it and not making a big deal (even though it is, but a good big deal not a bad big deal) then I feel it kind of puts a middle finger up to all the "fans" who are salty as fuck.

 

[Beefy]

Capaldi was the first Doctor I hardly watched. Mainly because the episodes were wack. Glad we getting a lady doc, next we need a POC.

 

[Quick]

Hell yes.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I wish she was older. She‘s as young as Smith... but well, I need to start accepting that I‘ll be older than people who play the Doctor for the rest of my life looking at how Capaldi bombed

But hey, looking forward to the next season and hopefully finally regular seasons again!

Already answered earlier, she's not the youngest doctor.

Jodie is the fourth youngest Doctor.

Smith: 25
Davison: 30
Tennant: 34
Whittaker: 35

Which head?

 

[Angelus Errare]

And she was briefly a blonde in the first season and again in the Comic Relief special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CVrUFSFHag

The Comic Relief was so hilarious.

Ruth Wilson would have been AMAZING!!!

Alice inspired Doctor would be absolutely terrifying...but I would love to see this tbh.

 

[Dalek]

I love it.

 

[Santiako]

He was barely in Harry Potter since his "character" was played by someone else almost the entire time.

Also, the little time he had in Potter he was dreadful. Truly awful.

 

[Sheroking]

He was barely in Harry Potter since his "character" was played by someone else almost the entire time.

He was in Harry Potter about as much as all but the four main characters of that film were; was the lynch-pin of the plot and arguably the villain of the movie.

I knew who he was at the time, and I can't say I knew Whittaker by name.

 

[Broken Joystick]

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Ah shit I gotta start watching Doctor Who

 

[guggnichso]

Already answered earlier, she's not the youngest doctor.

But she is the youngest Doctor when I am the oldest I ever was!!!111 It‘s just a completely subjective reaction from me.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Which head?

 

[Jackpot]

You have to wonder what misogynists were getting from watching Doctor Who. The show's always worn its politics on its sleeve.

 

[jerry113]

I have a heterosexual crush on The Doctor now, this has awakened a part of fandom in me that I didn't know I had.

 

[Santiako]

Ruth Wilson would have been AMAZING!!!

She'd be much better as the Master.

 

[Bold One]

If you've watched Luther: Yes.
If you've watched The Affair: No.

That's the thing about this part. There's nothing like it.

Good thing she's a solid actor - Not seen The Affair though...

And she was briefly a blonde in the first season and again in the Comic Relief special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CVrUFSFHag

WHAT

THE

FUCK?

this is amazing!

 

[rtcn63]

EDIT: Getting too weird

 

[lastplayed]

Those beautiful bastards, they finally did it.

But wait, why is the 9/10th Tardis in the teaser??

 

[iamverificationimage]

My sister just sent me a message that was hard to interpret, I think she's excited.

 

[Effect]

Great announcement. It was only a matter of time and they've been hinting at it for a while now in the show. Especially in the finale.

 

[rtcn63]

My sister just sent me a message that was hard to interpret, I think she's excited.

Was the message just the word "SQUEEEEEEEE"?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Can't believe they filmed a two Doctor special with her and Eccleston years ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1-tMzk9cMg

Wow, she's fantastic!

 

[Sheroking]

Good thing she's a solid actor - Not seen The Affair though...

This is really not everything, is my point.

Some great actors would totally not fit it, and you would never know by some of the things they've done.

 

[tomtom94]

You have to wonder what misogynists were getting from watching Doctor Who. The show's always worn its politics on its sleeve.

Do I need to find the pink TARDIS from Happiness Patrol?

 

[pariah164]

I was so excited when I saw this tweeted. I'm still all happy inside. The writers better do her justice. With Moffat leaving, it's gonna be interesting.

TBH, I thought Ben Whishaw was going to get the role.

 

[BossDarkseid]

I'm sure there were Star Trek fans who had no idea of Rodenberry's politics even when Janeway was Captain.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Was talking about this with friends and said I was hoping they would go with a female doctor. Happy to see they have. Now I should start watching this past season.

 

[Little Old Man]

She was excellent in Broadchurch. Excited to see her take on the Doctor.

 

[Baleoce]

Probably already posted but: 13 Questions for the Thirteenth Doctor

 

[JonnyDBrit]

They actually did it. All the more reason for me to catch up.

 

[Chris1]

Liked her in Broadchurch. Not sure how she will be as the Doctor but I'm sure she'll do just fine, plus she'll have the best doctor (Tennant) to give her tips.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Haven't seen this (I'm flitting all over OT like a fucking hummingbird, it's too much pop culture bullshit going on this weekend) so thanks for the repost, even if it got dropped earlier in this thread.

 

[TemplaerDude]

That first reply.

It must be humbling to know the months that he has spent investing in his "why a woman shouldn't be my favourite fictional character" argument have all been wasted because he's actually a real big idiot.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Probably already posted but: 13 Questions for the Thirteenth Doctor

11) What are you going to wear?
Don’t know yet.

12) Is that your costume in the filmed sequence which introduced you as the new Doctor?
No.

So there we go, folks.

 

[louiedog]

I like his twitter image. He desperately wants the world to see him as a thoughtful, rational person with that contemplative pose.

God I love Luther.

Now make Alice a companion.
