Maybe Time Lords are like crocodiles. Temperature-dependent sex determination. Capaldi dies in Maui, badaboom! Female Doctor!

Not only will the next Doctor be a black female, she'll have a lesbian relationship with Missy and it'll be the single worst thing Moffat has ever written. It'll be handled so badly that DW will just die and it'll be off the air for 6 years until Rupert Grint buys the whole franchise and stays in the role for 30…

Could Idris Elba still play her?

Who is also somehow a ginger....

Can we just get a black female and kill two birds with one stone?

So many characters int he TV Trek series:

I scrolled through all the comments expecting to see this image at least once:

::Clap::

Severus Snape: from heel to hidden hero.

(Can't post pictures from work, can someone help?) Pam Poovey from Archer.

I found Julian Bashir super annoying the first couple of seasons of DS9. But as he became more forceful when his ethics were challenged and he became involved in all the spy vs. spy deceptions with Garak and Section 31, he was a great character.

Smoke me a kipper!

My good god he was an annoying, whiny brat at first. He ended up totally badass though...

Merle Dixon

I'm going to go a little off the beaten path here and propose: Frank Randall. In the alley. With the blackjack.

Ewoks. Hated them until Phantom Menace introduced the Gungans. Then I began to appreciate them for the furry little badasses they are.

I've never been more sure a throwaway character was going to die an awful, hilarious, deserved death early in the film. By the end... just wow.

Cinnamon Bun. Totally got his valor on for Flame Princess. Which was...surprising.
