Your nominations for the twelth Doctor

[kabbes]

I had to look up Daniel Rigby. WAY too young. Peter Capaldi would be great, as would Ben Daniels.

 

[Corax]

No. He's suggesting that any women viewing the show only do so because they are passive, and need to be the passenger, that that is integral to who they are and why they can relate to the programme as it is. He is suggesting that if there was a woman as the doctor then women would have to switch how they relate to the show, and might have to start relating to the doctor instead of the companion.

There are so many levels of fuckwittedness about that argument I don't know where to begin. Not only is he suggesting that women are inherently passive and 'followers', he's also implying that men and women can only relate to characters who share the same gender as them, as well as assuming that there are set reasons why men and women might be interested in certain types of shows.

Eh? I've probably misread, but that comes across to me as suggesting women can only relate to women?

On the question in hand - I don't care either way personally. It's a telly show, and as long as it remains entertaining I'm happy whatever gender the doctor is.

 

[DotCommunist]

so long as its not sue barker and mel as companion. That would be crap

 

[8ball]

I'm looking forward to Capaldi-Doctor threatening to throttle a Dalek with it's own dismembered ball-sack.

It's going to be an American man.

You heard it here first, folks.

Although having just read a Radio Times article about why Ben Daniels should be/will be the next Doctor, my reasoning for the above still stands... for he is a stand-in American, in that sense, because Americans know who he is.

And of course, Americans are the most important people as far as Moffat is concerned. Hence the BBC America announcement.

Fuck you, Moffat. May you rot in a bath of your own fanwank.

Come on now, don't you think it's time to let Zygons be Zygons?

 

[danny la rouge]

as would Ben Daniels.

I had to look him up. I've only seen him in Madeleine...

they're one up on me then!

hmmm. Dr Who is already one of BBC America's most popular shows, so a - very cheap - live show all about it makes sense for them without any need for ulterior motive.

 

[danny la rouge]

He was in Madeleine. (Not the David Lean one; the kids' film from the 90s).

Its hard to get too upset about this when you think that Jon Hurt, tennant and smith will be sharing tardis space

I predict a thesp-off between hurt and tennant with smith looking a little outclassed. On a show about time travelling aliens.

"Hurt and Tennant thesp-off" is quite hard to say fast.

 

[Corax]

I've heard it's going to be Doreen Lawrence.

 

[danny la rouge]

American's know who the Queen is...

Not for a classically-trained actor, darling.

If Hurt says 'GALLIFREY PREVAILS' I will die a happy man

Liking the Capaldi rumours...

Exterminate? I'll fucking exterminate you you cunt! I'm gonna rip that fucking sink plunger off and shove it so far up your arse you're going to be shitting bolts for weeks!

 

[Supine]

I think it will be Claire Baldwin. She's on every other funking TV programme so why not this.

Love this actual thick of it quote

"Look, half an hour ago you were in with a shot! This is half an hour hence! We've fucking time-travelled, yes? We're in a weird and wonderful world where everything is different! Maybe outside the polar ice caps have melted! Maybe there's fucking robots knocking about and Davina Maccoll is the new Pope! Maybe you can download rice!"
