Doctor Who

Why don't we all take some time out on this discussion to cool down. How about say 50 years?

Then when we've had the next 13 Doctors all be women, we can start discussing things not being equal.
 
But I'll be dead then.

What if Dr. Who had been created in America.....

I'm pretty sure Clara and her family would have mentioned something about this.  That, or there's a stereotype about Swedes that I'm unaware of.
 
I have to say that I'm glad I live in Europe. Here it is still possible to have socio-political debates and discuss ideas without the desperate need to fling faeces and engage in ad hominem attacks on whoever has a different opinion. At least now I understand why America voted in an ape as a president.
If anyone feels like engaging on this topic above the level of a toddler in a playpen, feel free to PM me.
 
Sigh.... this is all a bit heated... but all I can say is that a woman being The Doctor has been discussed ever since Tom Baker was going to regenerate, so it's no biggie.  All I care about is good stories, good acting etc.   Give me some excellent DOctor Who stories, that's all.   

However.. don't get me started on Bond becoming a woman... that's just silly.  If you want to do that, just create a new 00 character who is a woman.  

Good luck Jodie Whittaker... if Chris Chibnall is up to the task, you'll be brilliant I'm sure.

That's not the high road. You're the one slinging insults at fellow members with different opinions, nobody else is doing that. I simply asked you a question.
 
I just find it interesting how heated everything has gotten because a female was cast in a role that could well be held by any gender.  Just because there has only been male presidents in America doesn't mean we can't have a female at some point.  Same goes with a fictional TV show.  

All in all things have gotten heated over here.  @"dangermouse", sorry you aren't happy with the casting of the new Doctor.  You of course don't have to be happy about it and you've shared your views on it.  Hopefully you'll give her a chance when the show comes back and maybe she'll win you over.  While I certainly don't agree with your views on it, it is your opinion and hopefully once Jodie takes the stage, your concerns will be put to rest.

Just to let you know, the majority of us did not vote for him.

And now an on topic post of a fantastic actress who embraces the doctor the way I do.

If you feel like discussing the relevant topic of a woman Doctor, feel free.  But this is your last warning.  The next post you make that is nothing but insults will result in a 1-day ban.

Because it's tangentially related, I'll engage...

Why is that silly?  Obviously you couldn't call her "James Bond" so she'd be Jane Bond or something, but assuming everything else about her is the same other than her first name and that she's a woman, what's the big deal?

Honestly I don't know much more about Jame Bond than I do about Doctor Who, but he's a super spy and womanizer, right?  A woman can do those things.

I know you said "just create a new 00 character who is a woman" but I don't see how making James Bond a woman is any different than doing that.

Are you going to ban yourself Frink? This is totally off topic. Get off your soapbox or move it to another thread
 
Sure you can call a female James.
I know at least two Jamies who also answer to James.
Mind you, I have trouble picturing Emily Mortimer as 007.

Nope, you're not on it.  Next time don't try to moderate the forums.

Enjoy a day off.
 
Help is at hand...

I wouldn't be offended by a "Jane Bond", or consider it in any way a big deal, but I don't see what the point would be. The Doctor is a regenerating alien, so sure, being gender-flexible makes sense. But James Bond is a guy who works for a spy agency, so if one wanted to do a story about a woman spy, wouldn't it make more sense to create such a character in the same agency than to gender-swap one of today's most archetypal masculine characters? If anything, I'd think it'd be more interesting to create the new female womanizing super-spy character, because then she and James could interact, and that sounds to me like a memorable conversation.
 
I mean honestly the point would at least partly be to piss off people who couldn't handle it.

But it would be pretty fascinating to gender swap one of today's archetypal masculine characters.  Who wouldn't want to see a female spy bedding every single man she crossed paths with while simultaneously punching them in the face a bunch of times?

My Bond knowledge is obviously not much greater than my Who knowledge.
