I would agree with that. If you can't get Matt back, you could always have the same line said by a new, regenerated Doctor. But I don't know if you could get Jenna Coleman back, either...
Capaldi was good.
There was also Jenna Coleman, who was OK with portraying being in love with the Matt Smith Doctor, but refused to consider that continuing with Capaldi.
why not benedict cumberbatch? :)
I did actually like the Jodie Whitaker Doctor better than the one immediately prior, but the writers ruined it. They made her a weak nincompoop and a victim. You read or watch escapist fiction for escape, not to end up feeling sorry for the poor actress trapped in a bad role.
Oh dear sweet baby Cthulhu. NO!
If you haven’t seen it, “Broadchurch” with Tennant and Whitaker is quite good. 3 seasons, all pretty good with the first being the best, IMO.
He’d be great, but I doubt he’d do it
My Late husband and I watched them in the 80s They had a show on in Nashville. We went to see it. I knitted a scarf like one of Dr Who character had for him.
he’s a great actor check yer sexuality at the door..
YES!!!
I was never interested in Dallas.
I lost interest in new Doctor Whos with Peter Capaldi, who was joyless. What little joy he had came from his own pursuits (of which he managed to make rock-and-roll itself seem snooty) rather than his love of Mankind. (Why would a space messiah be so enamored of rock music, if not born of his love of humanity?)
I saw a few early Jodi Whittaker episodes. The damage to the identity of Doctor Who is irreparable, but she was a good actress, despite playing in an unredeemable role. Some episodes almost seemed to try to make up to Christians for destroying a character who had become an intriguing allegory for Christ.
On the other hand, Jo Martin was insufferable. Whereas a female Doctor Who is gravely problematic, a black Doctor Who merely invites the question of why all the PREVIOUS incarnations were so bloody white-British. But the entire character of Martin’s Doctor was simply, “black,” as if no other characterization was necessary.
Tom Baker was the one who always wore a scarf, wasn’t he?
““The Timeless Children.” In it, we learn that the doctor was never a Timelord, the time-traveling, regenerating species from which he belongs. Instead, the doctor was never a humble timelord, but a sort of infinite progenitor space-messiah.”
Like in Star Trek Discovery, where Michael Burnham was like a Diverse Female Space Jesus (credit to The Critical Drinker YouTube channel)
I am sick of seeing his face.
Guy Potter maybe.
Tom Holland would work.
Jack Gleeson would be an interesting choice.
Wonder how he would look as a redhead?
I have every single episode of Dr. Who on disk (Even some of the old ones that are not much more than stills, and audio until this last incarnation. They completely destroyed the franchise. I’m not sure even Davies can resurrect it. The last couple of seasons with Capaldi (not my favorite Doctor by any means), did a good job of paying some homage to what had gone before.
Off-cannon films. Does not count.
I watched the first 2 episodes of Dr. 13 and realized that 13 was definitely an unlucky number for the Who-verse: writing, directing and selecting Jodi as the new Dr. Who. I watched a couple of episodes of the “Flux” arc that just premiered and it was even worse. I concluded that the writers, director, program runner and most of the actors and actresses were obviously tripping out on massive doses of LSD and similar drugs during the writing and filming of the “Flux” arc....better renamed as the “Flush into the loo” arc.
I agree.
Yes.
