Boring attempt at trolling.
Click to expand...

Sarcastic joking, not trolling. Its a way of showing my real feelings, but in a way that is more entertaining to me. Admittedly I've already made my opinion obvious, but I was mostly just amusing myself. The show is basically on hiatus, there is no Doctor Who this year in any but the technical sense in my opinion. But, looking at the past, the longest running equivalent of a showrunner was JNT at 9 years, and there is no way NuWho keeps someone that long, so for me its just a matter of waiting. I went more then 10 years between good Star Trek live action stuff, so I can and will wait for Doctor Who to turn. I hope you all enjoy the brand new IP Chibnail "borrowed" the Doctor Who name for, I'll be hate watching it, at least.

Yep. We knew your opinion. You keep repeating it. I’m not sure to what end... but, I’ll just scroll past from now on, now that you’ve made your position clear.

That's what I always recommend everyone who hates opposing opinions do from the start. Its what I try to do if if I get too annoyed in a thread, as opposed tofstarting a fight with someone over their subjective opinion of a piece of media :shrug:

I don’t hate opposing opinions. I dislike hyperbole wrapped in “that’s just my opinion, man, you just hate opposing opinions.”

And I won’t feel bad for expressing concern for another person’s happiness. I am legitimately concerned about your happiness. But, I have done what I can. The rest is up to you. Good luck.

Just a suggestion but perhaps you should use imoges a little more often if you feel your tone and views are not getting reflected in a more accurate way. The internet is kind of hard at seeing the subtext at times of what people are saying.

When's "Children In Need" this year? Would that tie into promo for this season and/or Christmas special, regardless of when it's airing?

Children in Need is typically mid-November. I wouldn't expect them to do a preview for the Christmas special this year, though. They didn't in 2013, previewing Day of the Doctor instead. Likewise, in 2015 they previewed the next week's episode instead of the Christmas special, which will likely be the case this year as well.

An essay by Jodie Whittaker

It means everything.

Doctor Who celebrates change, it celebrates inclusivity, inclusiveness, and all versions of that. It celebrates the past, the future, humanity, and species that you can’t even get your head around even existing. And I think as an actor, as a human, I am excited by all the possibilities of what playing the Doctor opens your eyes to.

This show is for everyone. It’s an action-adventure, it’s emotional, it’s funny, it’s epic, it’s scary. It’s something that you, as a family, can sit and watch together, and it doesn’t exclude anyone -- and I think that is a pretty unique show in that sense. The Doctor I play is a hopeful Doctor that is ready to embrace every new experience with a glass full of light, and I couldn’t be more excited to play the role. We’re so lucky; we’re part of a show that’s fan-based. It’s been very well-earned by our predecessors, and the fanbase stretches all corners of the world, which I think is extraordinary, and really apparent when you go to Comic-Con, and you see how far people have traveled, and you hear everyone’s stories.

I think the fans are what make the show, but what’s exciting for us as well is to potentially make new Whovians from this series, and to see, potentially, people being at Comic-Con next year that have never been before, and go because of their love of this. [Comic-Con], it’s an extraordinary event that you can’t quite describe to people. For meeting the fans, surprising the fans, to doing the [Her] Universe surprise -- all those were wonderful, as well as obviously being on-stage with the other guys for the panel. And what an honor to see people in your costume, who’ve not even seen you play the role yet for more than twenty seconds, and they have embraced that change so wonderfully.

We met a young girl, she was 16. I won’t give any details about her, just because, obviously for her privacy. But she was not very well, and had been a real survivor of a not very nice illness. She’d come all the way from, I think, the Midwest, and had flown with her family. We were lucky enough to sit for 45 minutes with her and have a catch-up with someone who’s a huge fan of the show, but then also was just a really fascinating person to be in the company of, for me.

In a weird way, I think I got more out of it than her. I just was kind of monologuing and asking her questions. She was absolutely fascinating, and knew so much about the show, asked really fascinating questions, and was just a really inspiring young woman. And I think, it was just great to see this wonderful, 55-year history of a show is relevant to a 16-year-old girl in America, and that it touches her in a way that she’s become a true Whovian.

That’s the power of this show, and this is what we want to carry forward, and to honor everything that’s gone. But also to also take it, and to hopefully reach a new, wider audience -- if it’s possible to reach a wider audience for Doctor Who.

The Doctor regenerates. The Doctor changes. With that comes a celebration of change, but [for] some people, there’s also a fear of the change. I think what my casting does is just embrace the fact that the Doctor can and will reappear in any form, and that that is absolutely a part of the fabric of the show.

I look up to men and women all my life. Young boys have many women in their lives that they look up to as well as men. My heroes don’t all look the same, and therefore, the heroes on television shouldn’t all look the same. The show wouldn’t be the success that it is without embracing progression and change. And I think that that’s what this is fundamentally about -- why it has a fan base from all over the world, from all different cultures, and why it speaks to people from everywhere. I know from every single time there’s a new Doctor, there’s always going to be people that are maybe disappointed that their previous Doctor is not returning, but that’s why this show is so exciting, is because you can never predict what’s going to happen, so therefore it’s never boring.

I’m a new Whovian, so this season is essentially targeted at someone like me, who’s seen bits of it, but was not brought up with it. I found it incredibly engaging, and inclusive, and representative of the world I live in today, in what is happening in the world today, and using that and taking the story forward.

My main experience of the Doctor was being friends, really good friends with David Tennant. Previous to me auditioning or ever having a conversation about the job, if anyone said "Doctor Who" or the "Doctor," my brain immediately goes to David Tennant. It’s fascinating to now have my own identity with it, and [have] it not take away from anyone else’s. But it does so quickly become your own identity, and the rhythm, and everything to do with [showrunner] Chris [Chibnall]’s writing, which is energetic and hopeful and full of electricity and full of light and all the things that are just so wonderful to play, and require a hell of a lot of caffeine. So now, it’s odd, because when someone says Doctor Who or the Doctor now, I think I’d probably think of myself!

Granted, they didn’t say much. But where embargoed writers can often hint at problems or things fans WON’T like, or that they hope will improve over the course of the season, this article was absent of any, which IMO is a good sign. Still, this article was clearly written as a “me first” deal hoping people would click for ANY news, so in that I’m sure it accomplished its mission.

Wow, a two maybe three (If you squint) sentence, extremely vague spoiler-free review that ends with "That’s about all we can say for now without being zapped by BBC operatives".

Next time just tweet, bro. It's what all the cool critics are doing during review embargoes.

Wonderful essay by Jodie. I continue to love her and I know she's going to be amazing as The Doctor.

Also, I really want that "Nevertheless She Regenerated" t-shirt one of the fans wore in the video.

I feel like we're really lucky that she is in the role! And, I haven't even seen an episode yet!
