Give the Doctor a snarky, sarcastic "McKay" persona That would be brilliant!
And it would be a change from all that flirting... not that I mind that much
Also he is a big Doctor Who fan himself & is British by blood. He grew up in Canada, but he was born in England Red Hill Surrey to be exactsally

Originally posted by MasySyma View PostThis is part of my issue as well. If the Doctor routinely changed genders like he does hair, no problem would exist, but since he can't even get being ginger right, this level of change warrants careful thought.
Also, before the Doctor should be a woman, the new series needs to have a platonic male companion not there to keep his girlfriend company. The men of New Who are as problematically depicted as the women. Mickey wanted to win back Rose; Jack had a crush on 9. Rory traveled to keep tabs on Amy at first. While the Doctor seems to attract lots of impossible, convoluted, insert adjective of choice, young women to himself and the Tardis in order to save the universe, he has not found a man worth traveling with by himself for more than a handful of episodes for at least seven years.
I don't want the Doctor romancing his companions, so I don't care about their gender or orientation. Or his for that matter, but I also see a female Doctor as a potential lightning rod for constant debates reflecting the world's gender issues. If she gets as much as action as 10 and 11 have, some critics will call her a slut. If she is like 9, critics will question whether or not she is frigid. It is difficult enough to find a show capable of consistently creating a strong, independent female character who does not trade on but can own her sexuality. Who has never been that show. It won't start now.
A poorly written female Doctor could do more to increase gender stereotyping than the fun of seeing her would be worth.
I'm glad Clara was reserved and didn't hop into the magic box without questioning it (so far everyone seems to trust him implicitly without even pausing to think, is this guy a psychopath trying to kill me? [Seriously, I know its Dr Who, but gleefully running off into a police call box with a strange man is not a good example to set.] Clara might be colder than other companions, and less starry eyed over space and time travel, but with the right casting and writing there could be a great starting point for another interesting platonic relationship.
Then again she hopped into the timeline without a second thought so she's veering off into the hero worship line as well - Donna was in no way a fan girl, she actively berated him and I loved that about her - 'space boy'.Don't get it right, get it written - Unknown, they haven't decided who said it firstIf you want something in life, you have to work for it

The plus side of this is that it means that Hewlett has a snowballs chance in hell of getting cast and for that I am incredibly grateful.

She said on her Twitter that she'd be happy to be involved in any capacity whatsoever so, maybe that'll happen - some kind of a guest role.
(I'm not lobbying for her as Doctor Who personally - I don't think it should be someone who's already famous for a different sci-fi role. I think they ought to be fairly new/low-profile. Have as little baggage as possible to overcome.)sigpic

(I know your not and I agree with what you say. It should not be played by someone that is well known from a leading role in any sci-fi show.)
