I'm entitled to have an opinion about your opinion. The Doctor is not restricted to being a man so the "legacy" being ruined is a silly remark. Whittaker will do a fantastic job.
Were you like this with The Master becoming Missy? Missy turned out to be one of my favourite characters throughout Capaldi's run, and I have no doubt that Whittaker will make a fantastic Doctor.

For what it's worth, I am absolutely delighted with the decision. It's really exciting and will really make the show seem fresh. Jodie Whittiker is a phenomonal actress and here's hoping she makes a great thirteenth Doctor. |

As for the Ghostbuster analogy, it's not really relevant, is it? I thought the movie was pretty crap. But it's quality was down to the poor writing. Just like if Jodie Whittiker is not sucessful, it will be down to poor stories or acting ability, not the fact that she's a woman. In addition, there have been sucessful recastings of male parts: Judi Dench as M in James Bond, for example. |

It's a massive change for anyone who's been a fan of the show for quite some time so the backlash is understandable. The backlash would've been even bigger had we not already seen Missy. HOWEVER, I do think people should reserve their judgements until we've actually seen Jodie Whittaker in the role. Like I said, it's a massive change, but let's wait before we blame it on feminisation.

Imagine being this shook over a woman being cast as an alien that regenerates into different people every time they die.

They'll probably throw in a male companion anyway for common ground.

The only thing one understand people being annoyed about is that it took this long for a woman to be cast
The number should be somewhere near even but we've only had 1 woman and 12 guys I also don't like the whole "WHAT NEXT JANE BOND" like maybe who cares

I do agree that the main companion is likely going to be male though, Regardless of who's playing what role, they'll want a main male and female. |

And tbh I'd even hazard a guess that a large portion of its popularity since it came back in 2005 is because of the popularity of the companions. Billie Piper, Catherine Tate, Karen Gillan all just as much as popular and played a part in the quality of the show as much as Smith, Tennant or Capaldi. |

The show has changed pretty much every part of itself many times to survive over 54 years and this is a change it has not experimented with thus far and if the show is in desperate need of anything it's a major overhaul. And if done right, this could turn the shows fortunes around. Trying to replicate a past era would not have worked. |

I love that people can accept Capaldi slowly tunnelling through like 20 feet of solid diamond using only his fists, but The Doctor regenerating into a female is a stretch too far.
