Itās cool that Doctor Who has a new female doctor. I donāt think Iāll return to watching because I can say confidently: Doctor Who is the most inconsistent series that has ever aired on television. Having a new showrunner will be a net benefit as people on all sides of pop culture have grown tired of Moffat, but weāll see.
Itās kind of interesting to observe how close the haters of this change are to one of the main villains in Doctor Who: The Daleks. They hate everything that isnāt like them and feel the urge to destroy it. Then again, considering Daleks are a direct derivative of the Nazis and where those people usually come from or drift to it is not that surprising.
While I think it may have made more sense to perhaps wait until the 14th Doctor to cast a woman in the role (due to a lot of the setup with The Master/Missy and that Gallifreyan generalās gender changes) just to give a bit of breathing room between when they demonstrated that the gender change was possible and when they actually did it with the main character. However, Iām otherwise perfectly okay with the female Doctor and wish her and the show staff the best of luck. Iām sure sheāll do just fine given her resume and Iāll look forward to seeing her in the role.

I think my disinterest peaked when they Tinkerbellād the 10th doctor back in ālast of the time lordsā and then undid the last year. Mehhhhhh, not my bag, but Iāll check out Whittakerās take on the Doctor all the same.

[/quote]I donāt agree on that point, but I dearly wish that we could have had a season of Capaldi under a new showrunner. Moffat isnāt great, but Capaldi is a fantastic actor, Iād love to see what he could do under a different guiding hand, but alas, alas.
One week until the bar, two until I move out of my current place, and three until I move to DC.
I am equally excited and freaked the hell out.
Oh, I definitely agree we needed more Capaldi as the Doctor, especially under a new showrunner, as I was a fan of him and his portrayal.
I blew out both my knees chasing frogs in a rice field shit housed with my kindergarten parents.

[/quote]He rode into a medieval arena for a gladiatorial duel, standing on a challenger tank, playing the doctor who theme on electric guitar, then started making puns. What more could you want?

(Side note - Capaldi played the guitar for that bit, both at the filming, and for the overdubbed track)
Well, thatās the good thing about there being 13 of them, really! Even if you donāt like one, thereās always one for someone.
Iām scared to go into the Prince of Nothing thread, because I havenāt read TUC yet. 
Same. The book is already on my desk but I wanted to re-read The Great Ordeal first and misjudged my timing. Almost done though. Weirdly enough the chapter in which they descent through Ishtherebinth wasnāt all that bad this time.
I still havenāt made it more than 100 pages through the Judging Eye yet. I keep on meaning to but time and work just get in the way.
You just arenāt hungry enough for MEAT
Someone got angry at me on the Girls Und Panzer subreddit because I slurred the honour of his waifu. What the fuck has happened in my life!
If youāre actually reading and commenting on the Girls Und Panzer subreddit, itās already bad times.
Hey its a good anime! You know to not think and watch tanks. After a long day of work I just want to watch high school girls drifting Panzers.
But man this person, I assume some goblin, did not see the joke in 'āWe shall fluff them on the beachesā¦ā I mean come on!
The problem isnāt that you like the show, itās that youāre reading Reddit comments.
