I'd dig House Doctor as 12. I don't think he's doing anything major nowadays, anyway.

And by lovely I mean vomit-inducing. Listen to the shit messages Donald Glover got. And this is Donald Glover. Nerds LOVE Community, right??? And this was for having the audacity to want an audition. He wasn't asking for the part. He was asking for the CHANCE to play the part.
Then try to convince me that the exact same bullshit wouldn't happen if a woman tried to audition for the part of The Doctor.

Merrymaker_Mortalis wrote:It's naive to think of timelords as 'males' and 'females'. You see with Captain Jack, when humans spread across the stars, humanity's sexuality became a lot more liberal because they wanted experience sexually with things that didn't fit the mould of 'human man/woman'.
What might be a problem is shitty writing for a Doctor with a human-female form.
At the end of the day The Doctor is an alien.
Merrymaker_Mortalis wrote:I agree.
The lore of timelords is weak in new show as it is.
Casting a female doctor for balance is as sexist is forbidding women from ever being the doctor.
I never quoted you btw.
MattAn wrote:So.. It does say "he".. But that doesn't solidify any fact. There's nothing to say there isn't exactly any female "Time Lady"'s.. Unless there has been?
I just really don't think something like that should be forced. If it's about a dude, then it's about a dude. Nothing stopping there being other shows starring a lead female..

MattAn wrote:It isn't naive if the history of the show's lore explains Gallifrey citizens. Yes, "The Doctor" is literally just "The Doctor". There's no gender "assigned" to "it". Every time I've seen bits of the show, I've only seen the terms "I'm" The Doctor or, "It's" The Doctor. Unless I'm mistaken and any character has specifically said "He's" The Doctor.
