Doctor Who's First Female Doctor

[San Lumen]

She has a decent figure and pretty face, so I cannot complain that much.

I agree and the look for The Doctor too.

[Liriena]

Not a huge fan of Doctor Who, but I think it's neat. Here's hoping her performance is great.

[Anywhere Else But Here]

She was pretty good as an actress in Broadchurch. Hopefully the writing won't be shit!

Also, it's a shame that the new Doctor isn't Idris Elba, with a Sonic .45 Colt!

Idris Elba isn't the only black British actor, you know. He's not even the best.

What does his skin colour have to do with it?

But he is the Idris Elbest.

Its huge. The hype and excitement hasn't worn off yet.

Preach.

[Liriena]

As someone who has watched a grand total of 3 episodes over the last 21 years, Neat. It's been fun seeing the whiny bitches come screaming from the woodwork on FB about and I quote "Male Erasure"

[Calladan]

It is a massive breakthrough after more than fifty years of sticking to men for the lead role … and at a time when it seems the world is getting more anti-women, especially on YouTube.

nobody cares

If nobody cares why are so many people fucked off about it? Why are so many people whinging and whining and carrying on like they just lost their favourite toy?

Anytime there is to be a role that would be a first for a black British actor, it's almost always Idris Elba's name that is dropped.

It happens every time there is a regeneration. People dont like change.

[Luziyca]

I don't really care who the Doctor is, in all honesty. As long as she performs well, I am a-okay with her.

Yeah, her acting I don't really care about. If she's good, she's good. If she's not, meh.

That's how everyone should think.

I don't even care about his skin colour, I care about Idris Elba being pretty damn cool.

Uh huh.

Well, he's had the most crossover success in American movies and tv so Americans recognize him.

And he's really good looking.

I think it was him playing Heimdall in the Thor movie, then for some reason people said he was going to be the next Bond, and now it's just one of those things.

I've never clicked anything so fast. This honestly makes me happy, the way I feel whenever there is a new actor for the Doctor. As long as it's not used for "LOOK AT HOW DIVERSE WE ARE PLEEZ CALL US ACCEPTING!1!!1" then I don't care what sex the actor is. After all, it does make sense within canon.

I still haven't gotten over the excitement. I think she will be great. And it makes perfect sense. Its about damm time too.

So this will be the new DW -

She really has that DW look of knowing it all. Someone that can take charge look.

Well, yes? I absolutely love Luther and Elba in it.

Americans also recognize Chiwetel Ejiofor and others they may not even know are British like Delroy Lindo or David Harewood. Point is, just because he's the only black British actor people know so they can totes claim to be woke doesn't mean he needs to be shoe horned into every role where it'd be a first for a black actor, especially if said role is a British one. It doesn't even work in the case of the Doctor since most are not household names in America. Richard Ayoade would make a far better Doctor than Idris Elba as would the aforementioned Chiwetel Ejiofor.

damn straight! I was actually hoping that Richard Ayoade would get the casting call, he's brilliant

and yeas I did not know that Delroy Lindo was British

...I don't see anyone screeching about it...Not sure who you're mentioning. Merely concerned that people are making a massive deal out of it, when it was never something on the level of a civil rights issue. Doctor Who used to use solely men, now it uses a woman. Congrats. It decided to try something new. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
