I know I'm in the minority, bu that trailer was bad, and I blame the loving song for most of that. I still think Jodi W. will make a good Doctor.

TL posted:Doctor Who premieres on the 7th. Congratulations! Take a moment to enjoy it, just with you and your spouse, sometime when you have a second. Weddings can be such a blur, it's nice to kind of just look at each other and say "Hey, we got married!"  I don't hate the music in the trailer, but it feels sort of awkwardly inserted. It sounds like the kind of thing you build to, which isn't great for something that lasts less than five minutes. Other than that, it's a good trailer though, lots of bright colors, high energy. Jodie just makes you want to hear and see more of her and she really feels like the Doctor. I'd say I'm looking forward to the premiere, but it also coincides with the end of my paternity leave, so, well, mixed feelings.

We've seen the new Tardis, yeah? That trailer gave me the impression they're going to be using that spaceship as a replacement. Especially the bit where she snaps her fingers and the next clip is the ship materialising. Maybe relocating the tardis is a season long thing?

Edward Mass posted:I hope we get another trailer soon, because I can’t think of a good subtitle quote for the next thread. You could break the seal and sample some comments sections for anything Nu-Who related Doctor Who: lol male or female, this show sucks Doctor Who: The only problem I have with the doctor being a woman is the timing Doctor Who: Trek had subtilty in how it addressed these issues Doctor Who: I would have been perfectly happy with a black Doctor. Hell, I'd even go for an Asian Doctor. some of these are probably too long, and I might have given myself an aneurysm looking at them so uh actually don't take my suggestion and for god's sakes don't follow my example

It's part of the reason I enjoyed TNG and DS9 so much: they explored some dark themes (DS9 particularly) but always had a sense that things were going to eventually get better. Doctor Who (apart from some dark times in the 80s) largely embraces the poo poo out of that idea, and is part of the reason I love it so much.

Jerusalem posted:Haha, yeah when I read that Star Trek was subtle I can only think of this clip: It's not subtle, but that's the point. Or maybe it was, and we're viewing it from the present day and not in the time period it was aired--I first saw it as a kid in the 80s, so even I would never have understood the context it would have had airing in 60s America. It could have been subtle and subversive for the time, only someone from that era who saw it originally could speak to that. I prefer to think of it as purposefully blunt, and imagine it being blatantly mocking of racists pretty much to their face in the late 60s, "Do you realize how loving stupid you sound?" LIke I doubt some racist redneck in 1968 would watch it and have an epiphany, but he sure as might get pissed that he was being made fun of which is also pretty good.

I'm not saying it's bad! The bluntness is part of what makes it so effective ("look, this is as stupid as you are being when you say people with brown skin are inferior. That's stupid!"). I'm just saying it's ridiculous to claim Star Trek was ever subtle about this stuff, because it sure as hell wasn't. It also made very blunt comparisons to the stupidity and childishness of the cold war (even if the Klingons/Communists were always shown to be largely in the wrong), and featured the first I'm aware of televised kiss between an interracial couple - but it was NEVER subtle about it.

look, Trek may have have lacked subtlety but it had plenty of... uh... subtilty those were all JUST from the “Who” Showrunner Demanded A Female Doctor thing, by the way, I thought about venturing into some YouTube comments for variety but I'm not going to punish myself that much for a joke if you're wondering if awful people are still mad about Whittaker, please, let me assuage your fears: hell yeah

If your Doctor Who-viewing is explicitly determined by the Doctor's gender, you're not really a Doctor Who fan. When I say that, I'm not just referring to people who plan to stop watching DW because of a female Doctor, I'm also talking about people who plan to START watching DW because of a female Doctor. You should want to watch DW based on the quality of story and acting, not because of the Doctor's gender. It's why I find it promising that Chibnall didn't specify the 13th Doctor's gender for his writers, not just because of the obvious writing down of the character as a cootie-haver, but also because I don't want a Joss Whedonesque Strong Female Lead. A good example I'd give is Starbuck in the 2003 version of Battlestar Galactica. She's a three-dimensional character who is not defined by her gender, despite the fact the 1978 Starbuck was played by a man.

As another counterpoint, I lost interest in the show around the halfway point of Capaldis first season partly due to the toxicity of the fanbase and partly due to falling behind and not having the desire to catch up, and I'm only just getting back into it because oh hey the new doctor is a woman and that was interesting enough to draw me back in.

YMMV, but I consider Who fandom to be a lot less toxic than most other nerd fanbases, like Trek and comics.
