(And before you all shout why male bear in mind that there were female time lords and he had a mother and father. I don't think gender reassignment is part of regeneration) |

I still follow it, though, through comment threads like this, and spin-off fiction posted by friends on their journals. One friend said she regretted that there were no other Time Lords around to mock him for his youth... The possibility of Romana making baby-sitting jokes was mentioned. |

The third season of the recent CBC/BBC Wales series was the best imho. The Med student, Martha Jones, sidekick was by far the best and they had some decent science fiction plots. I don't like it much when they go into the past and interact with witches and werewolves and such. |

I don't think gender reassignment is part of regeneration) Artistically speaking, a female doctor would enable - literally!- dramatically different stories but I am pretty confident that such considerations are overridden by the commercial risk such a fundamental change would be. Completely independently, my daughter and I came to the conclusion that while an Indian, Chinese, ... doctor would be possible the co-incidence of changing to a black doctor at exactly the time the US changes to its first black president would attract all sorts of bizarre criticisms that would not have occurred a year or two ago or in a year or two's time. And as before, the commercial concerns would want to avoid those. |

04 Jan 09 - 03:50 PM (#2531454) Subject: RE: BS: The next doctor? Who? From: Richard Bridge The Doctor concept has become corrupted over the years. The early doctors carried the sagacity of age, and were wise (even if eccentric). Now they are younger and younger, fail to look before executing a leap or bound, and rather than wise are "clever-clever". It is a parable of society. I msut be getting old, Doctors look like boys to me... |

From: Little Hawk The same thing has happened to the concept of newscasters. ;-) You can now expect to see a "hot babe" with big hair reading you the news, alongside a "hot" lookin' guy in a suit. They trade zippy one-liners back and forth between telling you about slaughter in Gaza or Sri Lanka and the latest stupid rumour about Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie. It's not news, it's Info-tainment, designed for tawdry minds with a 3 second attention span. |

07 Jun 10 - 02:20 PM (#2922506) Subject: RE: BS: The next doctor? Who? From: Stringsinger I agree with Richard Bridge. The earlier incarnations of Dr. Who were level-headed, thoughtful, relying on brains rather than brawn (read military might) to solve problems. They were ethicists of sorts given to reflective yet creative solutions. The new Doctor has too many temper tantrums to suit me. (Needs a diaper change?) Karen Gillan suggests to me a Scottish Valley Girl. I think that Billie Piper and Catherine Tate added dimensions to their roles. Have to say though that my fave was Lalla Ward. |

07 Jun 10 - 06:46 PM (#2922693) Subject: RE: BS: The next doctor? Who? From: Dave MacKenzie I like Karen Gillan. I remember her as a schoolgirl in "Rebus".

08 Jun 10 - 01:55 PM (#2923232) Subject: RE: BS: The next doctor? Who? From: Stringsinger Tom Baker and Christopher Eccleston were my favorites although David Tenant grew on me as the writing improved. When I think of Doctor Who, I do think of Tom Baker first. I think that Dr. Who is a good model for a new kind of hero, not one wed to solving problems with weapons or military excesses but one who thinks creatively, with compassion, a sense of proportion and a willingness to share a highly-developed brain for public good. I like it that he doesn't use guns. |

"not one wed to solving problems with weapons or military excesses but one who thinks creatively, with compassion, a sense of proportion and a willingness to share a highly-developed brain for public good." Yes, and he has the advantage of living in a complete fantasy world which behaves however the writers see fit of course. David E. (Tom Baker/Sarah Jane) |

From: RAT-W Well, Matt Smith has grown on me as the Doctor, although still not in the same league as David Tennant and Tom Baker (or even, to my mind, Jon Pertwee) but I'm not so keen on Amy Pond. The last few assisstants had something about them which I don't think she does. She seems to be there mostly as eye-candy. Actually, she reminds me somewhat of Joe Grant. But I still think it's the best show on TV. RAT-W (actor, if anyone reads this thread when Matt Smith leaves in a few years) |
