Her name being "Whittaker" (TWO 'T's!) is very appropriate. How mercurial.

Why? I never opposed a female Doctor? She's a great choice.

I don't remember people being SUPER upset but maybe that's because I don't really have much to do with other Doctor Who fans other than folks in this thread.

TARDIS wiki (or whatever you call it - the one we slag off whenever people bring it up) took a loooooooong time to acknowledge Missy as an incarnation of the Master on their Master page but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's because they're colossal grognards rather than because they were being sexist. :shrug:

there is no distinction between grognard canon-worship and institutionalized bigotry

Because of that Clara is the only companion who've seen every Doctor and is also the most important companion.

Heck off. The whole climax of the Impossible Girl plot is that "The Impossible Girl" is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl fantasy that the Doctor focuses on instead of treating Clara like the real person she is. She's only "important" because she makes sacrifices and aspires to Doctorishness in a way few past Companions have - but when female characters exhibit the same character traits as Matt Smith or Peter Capaldi's Doctors, they're "arrogant" or "reckless" or "shrill".

Regarding Murray Gold themes: I enjoyed the theme tune during Capaldi's tenure much more than Smith's versions and the God-awful Series 4 version. I like 'The Chase', though, and hopefully that bit of the theme continues with Whittaker's Doctor.

He's actually quite good. He's a little higher and more youthful sounding in voice than the original actor, but still great. And his accent is a million times better than whoever is doing Glumgold (for obvious reasons).

Glomgold is Craig Ferguson.

Ihe murderous hatred fans in this very thread have for River Song is bizarre and a little horrifying. Oh no, a middle-aged woman appears a little too often during a season that didn't quite stick the landing, let's be extra clear how much we want to smash her head in.

I think Capaldi is going to take a long time away before he considers Big Finish, based on things he's said in interviews.

One of my favorite moments is when they run into Barrowman, with his secret wife and kid. And CDs full of showtunes.

not just "CDs full of showtunes"

piles and piles of unsold Barrowman vanity albums.

Really glad I could afford to participate in the DWSS this year - having a real income has many privileges, but perhaps the best part is the opportunity to be generous.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's gifts.
