Doctor Who

--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Oct 2018, 01:29 ---Clara is, of course, functionally immortal due to Twelve's stupid messing with space and time and Jenny, as a Gallifreyan, probably has the full twelve regenerations. So, in both cases, it is possible to recreate the 'different performer, same character' feature.

I think Jenny might work, but Clara, not so much. Being functionally immortal due to being frozen in a moment, is a different animal than regeneration. Though, a bit of clever writing could possibly solve that.
--- Quote from: Ignominious on 08 Oct 2018, 05:23 ---Several retcons have already established that the number of regenerations aren't really set in stone and The Master, at least, had already shown that Gallifreyan's aren't tied to a particular gender.

There's that. And it's not exactly a surprise; if I remember correctly, there's been hints dropped since even before Missy entered. Not to mention that a part of the fanbase did want to see it happen.
Tova:
I enjoyed that episode. Whittaker was instantly recognisable as the Doctor. I'm feeling very optimistic after seeing this episode and a couple of interviews with her. I'm happy with Chibnall's writing debut as well.
I'm amused by the proposition that it's even remotely feasible to avoid 'risking backlash from established fans'. It's part and parcel of the role changing hands.
Ignominious:
I am highly amused at the amount of whinging that is going on over at twitter about the accents though. These aren't even the hardest ones we've got.
Theta9:
...so, The Doctor might be Banksy? :?
BenRG:
The Doctor is a notorious name-dropper and braggart. The number of famous people they have claimed to have met or secretly be is too large even for one of their 1500 or so years.
