New Dr Who

Albumen said:

Apart from the fact that Dr who is a gender-free alien, Star Wars was a massive rated hit, and Ghostbusters was a fun reboot, your points are really valid.

To be honest it's not the show for me anymore.

Moffat has made it far too complicated and I was hoping for better once he moved on. Back to basics and a safe pair of hands was needed. However, that was not to be and now I have no motivation to even watch - it simply no longer interests me.

That's rubbish. Dr Who had a mother and father. Thus indicating there were two different sexes on Gallifrey.

This whole gender swapping rubbish has only come into vogue in the last few years when obviously they were angling to bring in a female Dr and changing the canon.

I said Star Wars was a treat. They did a great job creating a new character to fit into the original world and it worked very well.

Ghostbusters was a pile of lazy shitty writing turned into a movie. It wasn't a reboot. Not sure how it's a reboot when they reference the original Ghostbusters in the opening credits. Just another cock up by that **** Paul Feig.

Storyline wise - how do you know Chibnall's version won't be back to basics and he won't be a safe pair of hands? Much like you I've struggled a bit with the last few seasons but I hope Chibnall will give it a new lease of life, fresh exciting stories with less of the convoluted stories. The fact a woman has been chosen as the Doctor is neither here nor there. Give it a go - it could be fantastic and just what the show needs.

Nope, mould is correct, mold is American.

Sydney Newman - the original creator envisaged a woman taking the role at the some point and the idea was first mooted by Tom Baker back in the late 70s. Certainly not a modern thing and I don't think it's ever been stated that he had a mother and father in 50 years.

I just have no motivation to watch.

For me they they needed to bring it right back to its basic format after Moffat to draw me back in. A mad raggedy man scientist in a box.

The new doctor I'm sure will be fine for other people, just not me, I have no interest - I'm out. Which is fine really, plenty of other stuff to watch.

Fair enough. But it could just be a mad raggedy woman scientist in a box - seems a shame to give it a miss without knowing the scripts or direction but as you say, plenty of other things to watch.
