I think a female doctor might have been a tougher sell in 1982 when Baker left the show.

HE SAID THE LINE!!!

Speaking of lines, this is close to crossing one.

And what’s wrong with a Wookiee spouse? 😉

I guess that inspired the female Wookiee that is like a mother to young Han in one of the later EU novels?

Interestingly enough, the forthcoming film Atomic Blonde is being touted as a female Bond.

I’m glad our spacesuits have never been outsourced, but has this ever actually been a issue for NASA in it’s entire history?

Did they invite that air conditioner company whose jobs Trump didn’t actually save after all?

Hutts are supposed to be hermaphrodites, but post Disney that might no longer be the case.

Wasn’t there another Dead film in the works? I imagine Monsterpalooza will memorialize him in September.

I think there was a movie where Sherlock Holmes was a woman. Can’t recall if it was period set or modern times. Might have been a tv movie or a pilot though.

Well it clearly didn’t happen in modern times because the internet didn’t get all silly about it.

People still could have written angry letters to Tv Guide and or the network in crayon though.

I was just reminded of this never aired pilot.
Starlog magazine mentioned it a few times, but apparently it’s never been seen by the public.

Just wait until they find out Chewie will be female in the Star Wars reboot.

They could also play up the hermaphrodite angle with Jabba. 😉

I’m sure the fans who forget Chewie’s family is canon independently of the Holiday Special will piss and moan over this. 😉

Oh no. Rehash alert! 😉

You’d think by now, the First Order would have facial recognition software with known traitors in it’s database. 😉

Stay safe!

Making Owen Anakin’s brother in law and Beru Luke’s maternal Aunt would have been a heck of a lot easier.

Ok, let’s try and keep this civil and non political. If I have to lock a Dr. Who thread I’m going to feel rather embarrassed about it.

He’s the one who brought the term up. I’m having trouble keeping up with both threads, but I don’t see anyone going past “lively debate” thus far.

I think only Jay can pin threads currently.

Also, I guess I have to read a thread I don’t care about now.

It’s not all this last page in this thread has it cracked up to be. Basically they are making the doctor a female, and warbler is opposed to it simply because of character reasons and because it’s a long running series and he’s used to it being a male. I don’t know if people actually think warb is a sexist pig or if they are just poking fun at him but either way he’s obviously not a sexist pig he just doesn’t want a fictional character he likes to change and is not harming or bEing prejudiced against actual trans people at all so I really think everyone needs to relax.

PS Ive never seen doctor who so I have no opinion on the actual issue.

I think there’s really only one person getting worked up about it. I just think it’s a silly sci-fi show and still don’t understand why a character who changes bodies constantly can’t become a woman. I’m honestly surprised it’s taken so long.

I don’t think he’s a sexist pig but he is certainly trying his hardest to act like one.

Hey, some people think Star Wars is a bunch of silly stuff. 😉

Calm down.

Even if this turns out to be a bad idea, you have 25 years of classic Who, and a decade’s worth of the current show to fall back on.

Refresh my memory, weren’t people kvetching that Capaldli was too old when he was cast? IIRC, some thought Peter Davidson was a bit young back in 1982. No matter who is cast in the role, somebody is going to have a cow.
And lest we forget, regeneration wasn’t even conceived of until Hartnell was leaving the role back in 1966.

People always forget about this regeneration. 😉

remind me cause I don’t remember her ever being the Doctor.
