    It still isn't enough for a year long commitment for most big stars, especially older actors. Doctor Who has traditionally taken people in relatively unknown outside of British TV. Plus there's the typecasting which is why most refuse the role

    Kind of tough to be typecasted from portraying a character that has no set "type". The character is who the actor and writers make them after each regeneration. The only way they would be type cast is if the actor was a complete unknown before taking the role, did a great job as the Doctor, and stayed on for several years.

    James Gandolfini was type cast as Tony Soprano (or any Italian mob figure) for example.

    Jodie was a dramatic actress in Broadchurch, so this points to the show moving towards a drama under Chibnall as I thought. In fact both Whittaker and new companion Kris Marshall can do "damaged" characters well.

    RTD: Specializes in writing excellent characters
    Moffatt: Specializes in complex plots
    Chibnall: Specializes in drama
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    My opinion on Whittaker is the same as my opinion on Capaldi; let me see this Doctor play out, THEN I will decide how I like them. I LOVED "absent-minded, midlife crisis Matt Smith" doctor. But I grew to love "grumpy, logical, tired-of-your-shit Peter Capaldi" Doctor too.

    The show is not instantly worse off solely because of Jodie. It's not some SJW thing. It's not some feminazi thing.

    The five stages of loss:
    Denial
    Anger
    Bargaining
    Depression
    Acceptance

    This is just the initial denial/anger phase of "oh god, no, the Doctor is changing again. Capaldi is leaving!" It happened with Eccleston, it happened with Tennant, it happened with Smith, and it will happen with Whittaker when she leaves. People just have a lot more ammo to throw at her because of all the current shit going on in the world. The Internet needs to get over it's own ego.


    I was in agreement until I read phase 6.

    The show has hits and misses, but it's far from "poor" in quality.

    He recently left Death in Paradise. And BBC has said "A spokesperson for the BBC stated that no casting decisions have been made yet." but it seems like they did not say no so....Seems likely?

    Like I said, highs and lows. I thought Clara's death was perfect, but then they ruined it with a fairy tale happy ending. I loved the Doctor alone episode but wasn't a fan of the sandman episode. And everything with Missy was just glorious. It was still an enjoyable season overall.

    @Gallahadd And I am guessing Bill comes back so someone can cry about "OMG you changed! Bullshit companion trope."

    Gods, I hadn't even thought of that XD. Although to be fair, I'm guessing the Doctor wont regenerate until the end of the episodes, and Bill may not stick around that long.

    I'm just hoping Clara doesn't come back.

    I was actually totally hoping Bill would stick around to be with a female Doctor, if for no other reason than to put that awkward doctor-companion romance back in the show. But then I was sort of let down by Bill in general.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.
