The Doctor shouldn't be a white male!

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Jeez, why don't you just make up a NEW show with a gay black woman of color or whatever as the star?

This is bullshit. Think of all the other species and combinations he's excluding. Why draw the line at race, gender, or who you'd prefer to fuck? Cyborg-alien-tyrannosaur-eagle hybrid all the way.

Its not the part of a female time lord I would have an issue with. It is a male regenerating into a woman part, that would be a stretch.

Umm... you know this is a show about people who can time travel, right?

And Mary Jane should be a black male according to Andrew Garfield...

This shit is way out of hand. You're not progressing anything by casting every possible white male role as a minority or female. You're creating resentment.

Look, I'm all for anyone being able to grab a role, but doing it just to make a political statement isn't keeping the audience or the product in mind.

At the end of the day, the audience for the majority of Sci-Fi, fantasy, etc. genres is white males. When you force feed them stupid casting because you're pushing an agenda rather than being concerned about respecting the product they love, you're not only doing damage to your agenda, but you're losing money.

Forcing things on people will cause an inevitable backlash. Push your issues in the proper forums, and the entertainment side will evolve naturally.

As soon as ratings go down the doctor will regenerate as a woman.

I was thinking a bit about the Doctor's "non violent" methods of getting things done, and how that differs, at all, from how a woman would do things.

If the Doctor wanted to, he could build a warship the size of a galaxy and be the most benevolent dictator warlord the universe has ever seen.

Is the Doctor's main tactic that he always goes into situations with a nuclear option? Time fuckery, and all.
