It wasnt her as an actress or the outfit which I as a women I actually live the retro nerd vibe... But its the way they directed it and other factors. It felt like any other show on BBC and none of the other Doctor Whos had a vibe that your watching a program. It was special.. Now it's ruined.. OH AND EDITOR IS RIGHT AS MUCH AS I LOVED DAVID. .

The BBC controls two of them: Top Gear and Doctor Who. They already ruined Top Gear (and The Grand Tour is on track to supercede it), and they're going to ruin Doctor Who.<br /><br />Thank God that the BBC doesn't control James Bond. Let's hope that Eon Productions has the good sense to not fuck with the face of the brand (which is the unforced error that the BBC committed, twice, to provable detriment) when it comes time to recast when Craig is done.Bradford C.

This is based on any number of things that have been done to popular media criticized by the Ctrl-Left before: from RPGs, to Top Gear, to movies (Ghostbusters) to Comic Books.<br /><br />The Ctrl-Left destroys everything it touches, because that's kind of their goal. They don't give a fuck about comics or superheroes or sci-fi or games; they care only about pushing their agenda in. And if their agenda causes the collapse of an entire hobby, then that hobby "deserved to die" because of its "racism/sexism/homophobia". <br /><br />Second, I'm not close minded here. As I said, I really hope I'm wrong. Given that the BBC itself is already talking about "powerful female life force", and Whittaker herself has been talking like she's a triumphant dictator who has just conquered a country and is promising it'll be better than the old regime or something like that, CURRENT EVIDENCE and PAST PRECEDENT suggest I will be right.<br /><br />Again, the only time I've seen Katie Whittaker act has been where she portrayed a hysterical mother in Broadchurch. Which is not really a performance that makes it possible to judge almost anything about how she'd do Doctor Who, assuming she isn't planning to play Doctor Who as a hysterical mother.

Yeah, sadly ...(Edited to remove embarrassing typo.)<br />Yeah, sadly I agree with you.<br /><br />I've been pondering the idea of a female regeneration of the Doctor since they dropped hints during Eleven's tenure. I honestly have no problem at all with the concept. I just think that in their efforts to be politically correct, the BBC is going to horribly botch it, and Jodie Whittaker (who my wife loves as an actress from her role in Broadchurch) will be left, like Colin Baker, holding the bag of a poorly-written Doctor. <br /><br />The sad thing is that if the BBC could just leave their virtue-signaling and pretentiousness aside, Jodie could possibly be a great doctor. But like SJW Marvel, the Doctor as a character will take a back seat to the BBC abasing themselves at the Progressive altar, ruining what could be a great take on the character.<br /><br />I hope I'm wrong, but at this point I doubt it.Michael Bugghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196330988164511595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-36139238115627770672017-07-21T00:51:18.479-04:002017-07-21T00:51:18.479-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Bugghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196330988164511595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-15383736835174033732017-07-20T21:42:25.583-04:002017-07-20T21:42:25.583-04:00I hope you're wrong about Jodie as the Doctor....I hope you're wrong about Jodie as the Doctor.
