Doctor Who casting news:
vague yaay.
don't know them, so no specific opinions, but they meet my minimum ask, for the first time, so that's nice.

yeah, my mum's first thought was like "oh well, there go the ratings"
and I don't see why, but if it don't pick up mass numbers, it'll get called a failure.

If they write the Doctor and cast a woman it'll work, but if they write a dozen guys versions of the Doctor as a woman, that's going to go poorly.

the ratings will drop for sure, because many assholes watch this show and now won't. that's not really where i worry - although it's a valid problem. I worry that they're gonna write it sexist. they're gonna write it lame. they're gonna - yes, poorly write A WOMAN rather than The Doctor. and then, shrug. people will complain, for good reasons, but they're gonna be taken for whine because assholes will be assholes...

maybe we're just being negative. maybe things can and will be better. yes.
