Well, maybe if so many of them hadn't made misogynistic comments on this post, I wouldn't dismiss all of them as such.

Agreed.

If you have or get the DVD set of the Neverwhere miniseries, listen to the commentary track. That's where the quote above is from and it's of course full of many other wonderful things. I love Neil Gaiman. :)

Really? I wouldn't trade Alex Kingston for anyone, but I wonder what Kate Winslet's take on River would have been like.

The Doctor is British because the show is produced by the BBC. He could be American, but they might alienate their fanbase. The only reason fans are opposed to the idea of a female Doctor is because straight white males like being catered to, and a female Doctor or a gay Doctor or a black Doctor might make them feel…

It's not necessary, and it will probably never happen. But why does that mean we can't indulge in thinking about it? The fact that people are so opposed to even the idea is pure sexism.

That man is amazing. But I'm almost more excited that he's going to be in a musical with Lea Salonga! BROADWAY CRUSH.

It's possible, but I don't just see it that strongly. The fact that they're known for being bankers is the only "Jewish" characteristic I see them having.

I voted for Serenity in some of the other polls, but I called Empire winning from the beginning.

@FearMage: what would happen if your Time-Husband became a Time-Lady?

@lazerus72: Then I don't think you're as open as you think you are.

Well, taste is taste. I really just took issue with your initial comment about her age.

Have you seen her in anything that's not a Tim Burton flick or a HP movie? She definitely gets typecast in the "gothy" roles, but she's done plenty of more serious, toned-down work that is very, very good.

Like Kong, its part of the source material, but doesn't excuse it.

Do you know that Neil Gaiman originally wrote the Marquis de Carabas with the Doctor in mind? This is what he said about Paterson Joseph as the Marquis:

Yes. And yes.

Co-signed! I also think Catherine Tate or Alex Kingston would make great Doctors, but they've already been on the show. I love Sophie Okonedo as Liz 10, too.

Hmm. I don't know if I've seen her in enough things (Xena and BSG) to really be able to see her in the role yet, but she's an interesting pick.

Elderly? Really? She's 44. And she clearly has range beyond "goth princess." Just watch anything her husband didn't direct.

I don't know how they could make that happen, but I can guarantee I would watch it! Her short time as the Doctor-Donna was brilliant.
