She may well be a good actress and she may be a good pick if you are looking for female Doctor. But I just can’t accept a female Doctor. Sorry.

What I wouldn’t have had a problem with, is if they had just done a spin off with a female Timelord. They could have had the Doctor bump into some lady and notices that she has one of those pocket watches. Maybe her parents hid her on earth to save her from the time war or something like that. The pocket watch opens and she remembers she is a Time Lady, and she remembers that she has a tardis hidden as something. Have it be that the Chamelon circuit actually works on her Tardis. I probably would like that show.

I do agree with you about having more stand alone episodes. I am also tired of the overblown epicness all the time. Another thing a tired of is the sort of killing off of companions. Why can’t companions leave like they did in the original series?
