I avoided reading what he’d said, because there was such a reaction to it in certain circles.

It’s fascinating to me how people say this, because my son loves female as well as male characters.

Tennant acted alongside Whittaker for three seasons of Broadchurch. If anyone should be able to evaluate whether she’s capable of being The Doctor, it’s him. And by all accounts, he adores her both professionally and personally. That’s good enough for me.

I’ve been getting a big kick out of seeing little girls meet Wonder Woman. When little girls start meeting the new Doctor, that will be so cool. There are so many male role models. It’s nice to have some female ones. Besides the female Doctor doesn’t invalidate the doctors before her. She is another incarnation of the…

Why do people forget this? I’ve only watched NuWho but I still know about Romana and the Rani. And Missy is right there, for chrissakes.

Jodie Whittaker would be able to play the first female Time Lord

“If I feel any doubts, it’s the loss of a role model for boys, who I think Doctor Who is vitally important for. So I feel a bit sad about that, but I understand the argument that you need to open it up.

I don’t know. I’m more tolerant and understanding of those who think it’ll be good and people will like it even while personally sad at the loss of what they grew up with but understand it’s not their thing anymore than the weirdos online screaming that this will destroy the show and ruins it all.

There are more than double the amount of male characters as female characters in both kid’s TV and kid’s books. The idea that any one TV programme is “vitally important” for boys is ridiculous. It’s far from a problem for boys, as well as girls, to be “losing” male fictional role-models and gaining female fictional…

I can’t be mad at Peter, at least he is being nice about it. To be fair I haven’t heard him being enthusiastic about Doctor Who in years. He does the audioplays, but it is evident, that this is just another job for him. Colin, on the other hand, is a true fan who loves being the Doctor. I don’t know why I ever doubted…

I think a trump surrogate made the exact same argument during the election. If Hillary wins, who would the boyz look up to?

On the plus side, I’m really pleased with Colin Baker.

In a total “Get off my lawn”/ Wow, I am old moment:

Or they aren’t really famous and are hoping that showing up to the airport with a gun will give them both publicity and a country cred they couldn’t establish on their own.

My theory is that 90% of celebrities are not all that bright. They look attractive and are famous so we tend to attribute them with more smarts or common sense then they actually have.

I don’t think we could find a better living persona of the word “douchebag” He just nails it so hard. It would be impressive if it wasn’t so tragic.

Well he did say he was going to push Trump’s agenda.

Melbourne is on and off sunny and very cold! My northern hemisphere-based family always makes fun of me when I complain about the “cold” but buildings are not properly insulated here so the cold gets in much easier than in places where double-glazing and thick insulation is standard.

RIGHT after my husband and I got married, we sold our house and moved to another state. We are both experienced movers. For the first six or so years, enormous fights would end by declarations of “It’s OVER” only to realize that one or both would have to move and neither of us have it in us. We’ve been together for 24…

I assumed the child in question would be like, a 17 year old fan (which is still gross and wrong). But no, he exposed himself to a child “under the age of 13" ??? YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE. How the fuck is he not in jail?
