Also I must admit my understanding of DW is very limited, but HAS it always been a male? I thought it was kinda like a trill. Sure it always HAS been a male, but does it HAVE to be? I mean it’s not like Luke was suddenly a woman in the ST or anything, doesn’t the very gimmick of the series enable the doctor to be a woman sometimes?

The Doctor turned into a woman in The Curse Of The Fatal Death, which was a one off comedy special that aired during a charity telethon in the 1990’s. Coincidentally, that was written by Steven Moffat, who worked on the new version of the show until recently.

Non-canon as far as I know.

Who cares.

I guess only me.

I’ll leave the conversation there - as it wasn’t about you (or anything to do with this site)

In that case, I apologize. Next you may want to it more clear what it is you are talking about.

Next time try reading what is posted - before replying.

(other sites)

I make my posts pretty clear, and if anyone has an issue with them they are always welcome to ask questions or talk about them with me (or even PM me) - this is a discussion forum after all. Though I don’t really appreciate being cast with incorrect aspersions (not many people do at all, I imagine).

Though I accept your apology - even with whatever you wrote after it as some sort of redundant caveat / excuse as to why you wrongfully (and seemingly narcissistically) read into and then posted what you did - despite my already stating it was not about anything on here.

Cheers.
 

I know you said “(other sites)”, but I still didn’t get that what you were talking about had nothing to do with this site. I thought maybe it started here and then you thought it spread to another site. I admit I rushed to judgement. Again, I am Sorry.

Hypocrites. Man, they can do your head in at times. Thankfully best avoided and ignored - and thanks to the ability to leave PM threads (other sites) where slating others behind their backs is seemingly the main purpose - a godsend.
 

Either explain what you mean by calling me a hypocrite or stop it. This is the second time you’ve done that.

The threads behind your back were a direct result of your forum moderation. If people didn’t fear repercussions like getting
temp or perm banned, the discussions could have been had with you face to face.

what i meant was people are just acting normally, not being excessively mean or hating you.

Ok you got us. We admit to everything.

I didn’t mean you personally.

While this is mostly true, I did also mean it.

gosh I must be such an a-hole.

I really am sick and tired of all the hate I’ve been getting recently.

warb, i’m going to try to put this into the most respectful way possible: you have been getting no hate at all.

Then I guess I am insane.

but i think you just need to accept that that’s just how people are here nowadays and how they react to certain things.

Just because that is how people are nowadays, doesn’t make it right.

Don’t bother with him I tried and failed

All you did was call me sexist. (and tell me to get out of the 50’s). That is not really trying.

Possessed said:

If that is what he was doing, I didn’t realize. I have only told one person lately that I was not going to engage with him anymore and I made clear why. The last time I did it was a long time ago.

Also I must admit my understanding of DW is very limited, but HAS it always been a male?

Yes, this upcoming season is the first time the Doctor will be female. Until the Master regenerated into a female, no Timelord had ever switched genders in the history of the show.

I really am sick and tired of all the hate I’ve been getting recently.

sheesh.

Well I don’t know what those 60+ million people could have possibly seen in him.

ChainsawAsh said:

And yet people still whine about the ST being “SJW” this and “Feminazi” that. Just like people are bitching about DW having an “agenda” now.

and I am sure that every single person that is upset with the ST is upset for only one reason: a female lead. Yeah, right.

Also, neither Leia nor Padme were the leads in their trilogies.

come on, both were major stars in their trilogies. One can argue that Leia outranked both Luke and Han in the Rebellion. Padme was the leader of a whole planet and a Senator.

Similarly to how DW has had strong female characters for decades in companions like Barbara, Liz Shaw, Sarah Jane, Ace, Amy Pond, and so on and so forth, but God forbid you cast a woman in the lead role…

They didn’t just cast a women, they turned a character that had been make for over 50 years into a female. They didn’t do it for the sake of the show, they did it for PC reasons, and they are clearly now marketing the show to the more feminist minded people and old time fans like me are probably no longer wanted. (because I’m a pig)

I’m miffed the Doctor Who thread was locked. I suppose, to put it more clearly, I’m miffed that the thread was derailed to the point it was felt necessary to lock.

What we were talking about had to do with Doctor Who, so I don’t know why it was off topic for the thread. But I am probably done posting there. I am sure that will make multiple people happy.

ChainsawAsh said:

Just like the Star Wars fandom sucked until people got used to a female lead in the sequel trilogy.

This is what happens when you prioritize your personal feelings and politics over real life. Loss of perspective.

This is happening more and more and getting worse and worse(including this very forum).

Jay said:

I think part of the problem is that you keep referring to the Trump crowd as the fringe when the man got 60+ million votes.

May I remind you that he did not win the popular vote?

I understand not supporting his policies and finding him gross and classless, but most of what comes out of the left right now just sounds like insane screeching in response to rhetoric that’s doing exactly as it’s designed to do. I’ve found that separating Trump’s rhetoric from his policies helps me process what’s going on in politics without losing my mind and painting all Trump supporters with the same brush. Politics has always been mostly bullshit; Trump’s bullshit is just right out there in the open rather than masked with a charming disposition and well-rehearsed oration.

Well I am no leftist. More and more I think I pride myself on being a rino(Republican in name only). You can call it screeching if you want, but I think Trump is the worst President in our lifetimes. I can’t stand the man.

Warb, are you seriously bothered by the fact that the advertising for the first season with a female Doctor emphasizes the fact that the Doctor is female? What the fuck did you expect? It’s advertising designed to attract an audience,

a pro-feminist audience.

Don’t understand why that’s an issue. Any network will always want to increase their viewership, same as any company will always want to increase their profits (as for television, more viewers = more profit). This is the first woman Doctor, so why wouldn’t they try to target feminists (or pro-feminists, if that’s even a thing) in their advertising?

it’s not necessarily indicative of any stance the episodes may or may not take.

I didn’t say it was indicative of any stance that episodes may or may not take

Then what’s your point?

Warbler said:

It is clear this is marketed to feminists. ugh.

So you are an anti-feminist. I’m glad you’ve admitted it, which is the first step towards solving your problem. The next step is moving out of the sexist 1950s and into the 21st century.

mods, if you want me to give this the response it deserves(which would be against the rules), I suggest you tell him to back off and not call me anti-feminist again.

I suggest you stop telling the mods how we should handle your threats.

Cat got your tongue, SilverWook?

I just don’t know why you didn’t give me the warning yourself when it was you I PMed and you that locked this thread.

“Married only once” doesn’t necessarily mean they have to have married at all. There is nothing to intrinsically prevent a married man being ordained, but the Church has grown considerably since that letter was written. The role of a priest or bishop involves a lot more. Not to mention that at the time, most people would have been converts, and most converts would have been married, so to prohibit married men from being ordained simply wouldn’t have worked.

But that passage doesn’t it make clear that it is ok for “Bishops” to marry?

The guys in that Dark Knight thread would definitely appreciate your recounting of the colors of that print.

Is there a preservations thread? I will say it looked like a slightly older print. Not a lot of damage, but it seemed a little darker and greener than I remembered. Granted, last time I saw it in theaters was ten years ago, but I saw it three times then, and once on IMAX 70mm.

How could “The Dark Knight” have faded already. It is not that old. And wouldn’t it be preserved digitally? Colors don’t fade on a digital copy of a movie.

I suppose it would be difficult to balance the two.

I am curious how do you reconcile this:

1 Timothy 3:2 “Now a bishop[a] must be above reproach, married only once,[b] temperate, sensible, respectable, hospitable, an apt teacher,”

Footnotes:
a. 1 Timothy 3:2 Or an overseer
b. 1 Timothy 3:2 Gk the husband of one wife

But, if I am not mistaken, marriage wasn’t always denied to Catholic Priests. I think hundreds of years ago Catholic Priests were allowed to marry, were they not?
