Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I really have nothing against women in roles. I see what you're saying now.Doctor Who was written about an alien. An alien that happens to be a regenerating species. Not just regenerating, but can regenerate into male or female. In all honesty, to go the full amount of regenerations being only male the entire time is far more unbelievable given the premise of the species than having the character finally portrayed as female. And it was a gradual progression. I mean, they did give us Missy a while ago. There were so many things that, when looking back, built up to this point. There's nothing SJW about this. It's a natural, if slow, progression of a storyline.
I'm so used to Doctor Who being a man all the time it just broke the immersion, but I can get used to it as long as it can fit in with the story. Incidentally I think Jodi is a good pic. And Incredibly talented actress.
I kind of read into it sort of like a Star Trek series where people are trying to change Captain Kirk into a woman or Captain Picard into a woman.
Not like that has actually happened or people had intentions of doing so, I was just using Star Trek as a hypothetical example.
Something like putting Captain Kate Janeway as another individual lead character in the same Star Trek universe was awesome as the captain of starship Voyager. She's one of my favorites.
I'm mostly familiar with the old Doctor Who's on television. I never really read any of the books but putting it the way you said is definitely palatable and retains the immersion.
Nowhere man is red face now. I think I'll make some popcorn and enjoy the episode myself since you set me straight on a few things about Doctor Who that I probably should have known.
