I am fearful that one of my lifelong favorite television programs is about to be irrevocably ruined… something that even Steven Moffat’s blatant atheism failed to do.
Doctor Who 1963 to 2017 Rest in Peace
Nothing against a time travel-monster-science fiction TV show with a woman lead, but I feel this will create too much discontinuity with the character. It will change how viewers will relate to all the other personas of the doctor. Most episodes for the past two seasons were poor anyway. This may be a final nail in the coffin for the series.
What’s next… a female James Bond, too?
I know, there are people excited about a female Doctor Who. Are they the same ones clamoring for a female but womanizer (lesbian) James Bond… or is that Jaime Bond? Enthusiasts are saying they are excited, that it can’t miss and that it is about time. Hum, did we not hear the same stuff about the all-female-cast reboot of Ghostbusters? The film company lost millions and it will go down as one of the greatest flops of cinematic history.
I suspect this is just another effort of the BBC to be PC… from atheism to multiple same-sex scenarios and now to gender-changing characters. Gads! I wish Doctor Who was still a TV show for kids. The program may gain an audience, but I suspect that millions like myself will walk away.
I don’t want an uncaring persona like this past season, unaffected even by the death of children. And I don’t want a sexy persona either. Give me old grandfather, the hobo, the dandy secret agent, the clown with scarf and hat and big teeth. Give me the sportsman with his lettuce or the fat guy with a temper or even the somewhat sinister but mysterious doctor who died in the first minutes of a movie. As for the new series, they have been surprisingly good… at least until Peter Capaldi (who tried hard). Give me jelly-babies, screaming companions and being chased by monstrous salt-shakers any day… that’s my Doctor Who, with maybe a funny scarf, hat or flute thrown in.
In a age when everything is in flux and public morality struggles with same sex unions and trans-gendered persons, could we have left Doctor Who alone… at least until the aging fans of Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Baker had passed from this world? But it is too late now… Doctor Who now wears stockings and high heels.
Oh say it is not so… let her be an impostor, or better yet… the regenerated time lord (lady) Romana released from Gallifrey to give her old friend a companion like himself. Ah, I can dream, can’t I?

I certainly hope there is never going to be a female doctor. This whole thing and idea of a woman as the doctor just doesnt feel right. Doesnt feel right at all. I think she could be posing as the doctor temporarily to gain access to the tardis to try and get the rest of the doctors lives. I read a plot of the new movie from an insider at the studios that the female master captures the first doctor, and tries to take over his time time for her own gain. So I think that the female we see isnt the doctor at all, but the female master.
