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.

my minimum ask was 'not another white guy'
and my first reaction was not unalloyed yaay, because
power is still white.

which I am so tired of
and I say this as a white person.

so obviously improvement, but I've been asking bigger for a really long time, so can only muster vague yaay.

I've only seen her in Broadchurch, but she is excellent there. I just hope the writing is good; I'm more worried about that now that the casting is settled.

have now seen the actual one minute vid, very few seconds of which were here.

but I have :-) now :-)



the other feeling is a bit like that protest sign that goes 'I can't believe we're still protesting this'. Twenty years ago the idea was comedy. and it's still a fight now.

women are half the world, so women must be half the story

we should be well over having to push and resist and fight to make it happen.

My first incredibly negative thought was, they bring her, they're gonna write it shitty, then they're gonna whine 'but we gave you feminists all you want, and you still don't watch, so we're not gonna give you anything again' which...

Let's hope the writing won't let that happen? Let's hope.
