Although The Doctor was never shown to have any control over how he would appear when he regenerated in the classic series, Romana, a female Time Lord regenerated on the show and was seen trying out various looks before she settled on a form. She was regenerating not because she had to, but because she wanted a change…

I had two issues. The first is that the whole speech smacked of why a girl can't leave her boyfriend, even if he starts behaving irrationally and confuses her with other people. It's guilting her into a relationship she's not sure she wants.

I think we just see it differently. Nine killed in the Nestene Consciousness Rose ; tries to kill and believes he kills Cassandra in End of the World; Kills multiple Slithene in WWIII; helps kill Jagrafess and the Editor in The Long Game. Ten is less bloody in his first year, killing only the werewolf in Tooth and…

I do love the fifth series. Moffat may not have ever hit that type of high again, although season six is pretty good up to the reveal about the truth of River Song's origins. Seven had issues, but that was partly because they had The Doctor act against type and not let go of the Ponds. Every other incarnation had…

Thank you! I am amused at all this angsting about did he or did he not kill the robot. Until The Day of The Doctor he had committed genocide on two races, the Daleks and his own. He doesn't like killing, but he has done it. Heck he killed the Racnoss and her babies in Runaway Bride. He's just not that big a pacifist.…

I have no problem believing people in the UK view DW differently from the US. I also just saw that Deep Breath had the largest audience for a season opener since 2010. So I can't say the entirety of the UK hated the episode the way you and your friends did. I suppose it's possible that the 6.8 million viewers all…

I'm personally rooting for Catherine Tate to be a regeneration. Love the actress and they did set up the Doctor/Donna theme. They could return to it.

Nothing will top mind wiping Donna a a painful, horrible exit strategy for a companion leaving. I will hate that until my dying day. I will also keep hoping that at some point Donna will get her memory back, find a way not to die, and kick The Doctor's ass for doing it to her in the first place.

That said, I haven't had the problem that others have had with his women
characters mostly because all of his characters appear to be puzzles

Yes, yes! I'll buy them all. I loved Donna and Ten.

I'm fond of Strax/Vastra/Jenny as well.

Table for two for not liking Rose! And no, it is not because I'm a classist jerk who only wants The Doctor to have educated upscale companions and is being judgmental of the working class. (Said because I actually was told that anyone who didn't like Rose could only do it for this reason). I just don't care for Rose.…

This is especially true because The Doctor changes his personality when he regenerates. So no matter how superficial the want to call Clara being unhappy him regenerating into an man who looks old enough to be her father, she's also not getting the same person period.

Please! no! I wasn't fond of River in Silence in the Library. I was well and truly sick of her by the end of her run.

OTOH, we have less of a chance that 2 main characters will suddenly turn out to be angels who are making sure the same thing happens over and over. BSG had greatness, but it flamed out horribly at the end, IMHO.

I liked Evan and voted for him every week. I thought he was better than he was given credit for. At the time viewers that voted liked him because he did make the top four. He may not have been the best technically, but I enjoyed watching him dance.

I'm glad we did. There's a good chance he would have been her partner if he hadn't gotten hurt last year. I'm not 100% sure they would have been paired because of height differences. Aaron was tall like Jasmine and I'm pretty sure that is one thing that is considered in the initial pairings.Now I loved Aaron and I…

Aaron would be a good tapper to bring in for Zack. I would also like to see Evan again, although the judges really hated him so I don't expect that ever. But he had a sophisticated dance style that I always enjoyed. He came in as a Broadway dancer, but he was also a tapper IIR.

I know! Valerie may not be the strongest female dancer, but I knew who she was when I went to vote. A couple of time when I went to vote for Carly I clicked on several other girls (because the names don't show until you click) before I got the right one. The same goes for Tanisha, although she has skills that make her…

I took that as differentiating between a relatively higher class call girl and streetwalkers. The Need/Want provides a safe place and has some form of security for those who work there. It is frequented by powerful people. It was formerly run by the sister of the mayor and is now run by the former mayor. It's classier…
