Did you know a school of piranha can devour a child in less than 30 seconds Anyway, I digress .....today I lost my job at the aquarium.
Shame they pissed all over 57 years of history mind. Cant wait till the current writers and that awful lead actress leave.
I like her, though I have disliked some of the stories where they seem to forget it's entertainment not a lecture. As for the history, it has wandered about quite a bit over the years...quite reasonably when you are writing about time travel. I felt the last episode returned to the old edge of the seat stuff (or should I say back of the sofa stuff). It is lucky that cybermen can't shoot for toffee or creep up on you And like Star Trek, it is also helpful that the hero gets time to make speeches rather than be shot whilst they are still gabbing.

Dr Who regenerates presumably by DNA manipulation...so can therefore be any colour or sex (though must remain humanoid for casting reasons ). James Bond is different as he is supposed to be the same character whichever actor plays the role. Therefore, if they cast a woman it is a different film altogether...just as Superwoman is a different character to Superman. So, no need to get your Y-fronts in a twist...just watch it as another spy romp with a female lead. The world has not ended.
I have never watched Doctor Who so am not aware of the backstory. I couldn't care less if the next Bond was female tbh, or if they bring out films with all female characters that used to be male (like the Ghostbusters film). I find it amusing that it annoys some people as I don't see what the big deal is. If you don't like the idea then just don't watch it rather than getting triggered and ranting about it on the internet. That goes for pretty much anything tbh, maybe I am just too laid back
People like a good rant, but instead of going to the local (which has probably closed or made into a gastro pub (but that's a different rant) ), nowadays they stay at home and rant from there to a bigger audience. The thing is nobody listens to ranters anyway. I think what annoys people is not a female Dr Who or Ghostbuster etc it's having change made solely for inclusiveness, political correctness or whatever the right phrase is. Having said that some characters should surely only be male or female depending on their name. James Bond comes under that doesn't it? You wouldn't have a male Alice in Wonderland or a female Sherlock Holmes would you? Where the sex of a character is not really defined anyone could do it. Cinderella and the Ugly Sisters might be more complicated though.
I've watched diversity quotas and politics creep into all the tv shows and film franchises I care about over the last decade, and it has made a complete mess. Middle aged leftest social warriors fighting the fight, so they stick there point into what used to be our one guaranteed getaway from real life, the cinema. And then when people like me moan about it, because we are passionate, we are called irrational & angry. I'm not a misogynist for not paying money to watch newGhostbusters & newTerminator. They are creatively dreadful, given over to woman just to propel it into some sort of political arena that reckons the female of the species isn't being given a fair crack. Absolute rubbish. Some of my favorite action movies have woman at the helm. Hell, Kathryn Bigelow directed Point Break in the 90's, if you are good enough, you will get work. But stop forcing it, because soon people won't pay to go to the movies, and YouTube will probably take over the running of terrestrial TV, ironically with a bunch of angry men ranting about things to make money! I need a cigarette & a cup of tea. Shame I don't smoke.
