I haven’t seen her in anything before but I’ve read lots of great things about her so I’m totally looking forward to this. It’s sad that there are so many people being salty about it… but people whining about it won’t change her casting so yay! 😀
I saw this on Twitter and jumped for joy! Her character in Broadchurch was the exact opposite of the incarnations of the Doctor I’ve seen, but I have no doubt she can pull off the zaniness.
I expect lots of saltiness from misogynists in the coming months. *sigh*
IKR. I’ve already seen lots. (◔_◔) I mean The Doctor is an alien that has the ability to regenerate into new forms and yet people are whining that it’s so unacceptable for The Doctor to be a woman simply because the character has been played by a man for decades. I mean, it’s one thing if the character doesn’t have that ability, but this one can… so why not explore that possibility? What a way to put this show that has been about embracing changes into a box.
Anyways, I’m really excited for her~ There is certainly a lot of pressure going on for her but she won’t be chosen for the role if she doesn’t have what it takes to be The Doctor.
Ikr! And it’s not as if that came out of nowhere. The show established that Time Lords have the ability to regenerate to a different sex. Aside from the Master/Missy, there was the Corsair in that Neil Gaiman episode.
And let’s not forget that when Tom Baker left the show in the 80s, he wished the next Doctor good luck, “whoever he or she may be.” The idiots screaming the show is ruined because the Doctor will regenerate into a woman are nothing but sexist pigs.
