What an odd episode, last ten minutes or so were good though!

I liked it, I thought the first half was a bit boring but it redeemed itself in the last half. The story was nothing more than an excuse to facilitate the crossover of the doctors and that crossover wasn't that great but it all came together in the end, I thought.

I thought it was silly to mix the episode footage with original clips as it just highlighted the recast and made everything seem fake.
They should've just got on with it. |
Good episode I thought. Full of nice moments.
I was a bit wary of how I would actually feel when Jodie appeared but oh my god :love: Cannot wait for the new series |
I also loved how Steven Moffat put another spin on the Daleks. Those creepy crawling mutants are a story all on their own

I didn't mind Moffat overall, he had good and bad episodes, but I'm glad we're moving into a new era again.

how did bills story end?

One female I know even posted on facebook, this morning they will not be watching until Jodi leaves. This has been a politically correct decision according to some which has wrecked the show. |
I feel like Moffat has never watched an episode of the First Doctor, because he was never like the sexist portrayal of this episode. At worst he called his female companions "my child" or similar, but he called his male ones "dear boy/my boy", and didn't even bother to learn Chesterton's name!

I can't remember if I've already posted this, but I'll be really sad to see Capaldi go - Tennant's Farewell Parade of Death made me hate him so much I couldn't watch him again for ages, but before that I'd have been happy for him to stay; I really liked Matt Smith in the role but I kind of felt like his story was "finished"; but Capaldi has so much more potential, he's probably the best actor to fill the role, and I'd like to have seen him under a better showrunner than Moffat.

on a side note, did anyone watch the vicar of dibley xmas special the other night, I never realized Capaldi was the "will you marry me" guy :joker: I must've seen that 100 times

You haven't quoted anyone. All you've said is "females have said this too", which is a dire, overused way of trying to justify why you're allowed to say misogynistic things.

One is someone from church, who until this announcement was a dedicated fan, another was someone I used to work with, who posted on Facebook.
They are real people, I am not making them up These are at least two females, one would have expected to be more accommodating, who believed that The Doctor should not be of their gender. The rule I have heard once is for every person who voices a complaint there are quite a lot more who agree, but have kept stum The only opinion I voiced is the question have the producers miscalculated given that some females have criticised this. Did they not realise they might have alienated a core group of female fans with this decision, which critics said was driven by political correctness. I have already said I will tune in to see how it works out, where as my female friends point blankly refuse to do even that. |

Repeating that it's being said by women doesn't mean it's not sexist rubbish. [emoji23] |
"It is the females I am quoting" is definitely a sentence that someone who's ever spoken to a woman in his life would say, I agree

As Marsh said, yes, women can be misogynistic. Say it's different and it's new and it'll take time to get used to sure, but to agree with the statement "the Doctor should be a man" is ridiculous. Remember Sydney Newman?? Well he wanted the Doctor to regenerate into a woman (and references that the public theorised on actresses to play the Doctor - showing people were willing for such a simple yet seemingly drastic change even back then). For over three decades, the concept of having a female Doctor has been in the air, and I'm sure there was a female Doctor in that Comic Relief special with Rowan Atkinson. The aforementioned source mentions even Russel T Davies has expressed interest in a female Doctor, and I'm certain the 11th Doctor checked for an Adam's apple to confirm that he's still a male and not a woman. Ever since Moffatt took over, he's established that Time Lords can change genders: referencing how the Corsair changed gender in the Doctor's Wife (which was 2011 I imagine??), the General in Hell Bent, and of course, Missy, who was absolutely amazing and one of the best incarnations of the Master, in my opinion. In short: The idea of a female Doctor has been in the air since at least pre-Sylvester McCoy (Over 30 years - over half the series' running time of 54 years), a lot of the showrunners and writers (Sydney Newman, Russel T Davies, Steven Moffatt, and of course, Chris Chibnall), many of which have been regarded as highly respected and talented (and know a lot more about the lore of Doctor Who than the general public/average viewer/seemingly you since you're under some belief that the Doctor 'has to be a man') are all in favour of a female Doctor, and it has been established that Time Lords can change sex in-show for at least seven years (I'm unsure about other media and I know the Comic Relief special is non-canonical but the idea was toyed with even back then in 1999), so really, there's nothing to say the Doctor can't be a woman. And if your only argument is Bertha the Tesco Worker being a woman and against the idea, then I'm sorry but she's not really a credible source! The Doctor's character and characteristics have never been defined by him being a man, so the Doctor being a woman won't change that. |
