The Dr got woke, time to regenerate...

[Kaslin]

Yup

I watched some Dr. Who in the late 60’s and was not impressed. I’ve not seen it since except a friend told me to watch the episode with the “angel statues” because it was awesome. I watched it and, still, was not impressed.

Nobody wants to see a female Dr. Who. If they wanted a female time lord, they should have used Romana. Changing genders on a male just pissed everyone off.

Died of wokeness twenty years ago.

Really jumped the shark when one of the soyboy Whos landed a role as Hamlet in a (formerly) pretigious theater compamny.

,i>in Timeless Children, we learn that those doctors were not the originals, nor important. Instead, the doctor was a black woman all along, deprived of her true identity by an abusive patriarchy.

Um....WHAT?? They really DID this?

I’ve been a fan of the classic show since 1978, but not of new Who and certainly not of a female doctor. At an LA convention before the 13th “doctor” started, the producer told us that if we didn’t agree with his casting of the lady we were wrong. Well, apparently we were right.

Fans can just do a Dallas, pretend the last few seasons were just a nightmare.

Go woke- Go Broke

Lalla Ward was the best Romana.

[larrytown]

It’s kinda like their food - a wee bit too British for some.

Eccleston/Tenant were great!!

[algore]

Don’t blink.

It was a good episode. so was the satan pit

I quit watching the new who soon after that.

I prefer the older shows

Pertwee, Baker, Davidson and one or 2 of the next Baker like the one with Sil where the doctor needed ziton 7 ore

Why bother? I just enjoy the old 1-8 on Pluto TV.

I watched this when I was in college in the 70’s. Howe can it still be on?

[freedumb2003]

Waiting for the first “that crazy black lady was NEVER even a time traveler” episode to restore canon. MUI whittaker was so lightweight they do not even have to write her out although her legion of woke companions will poof into nothing.

Pre-chibnall was pretty woke as well. You would think England was 40% black and it was a requirement that every white hot chick was required to have a black bf. But they did not plug that tokenism into the plots so no one really cared - it was like a mosquito flitting about.

Dr. Who jumped the shark after William Hartnell left…

[day10]

Oldest son got me interested in this with the “Blink” episode, and we would binge watch when he was home from college on breaks. Loved Tennant and Capaldi, Smith was OK.

I tried with Whitaker, but didn’t make it through Episode 1. Sad.
