  1. Exactly! It was always about the stories. Also that the Doctor was always sort of "Off" in a good way! He always had a weird "Timey Whimy" silly eccentricity about him. He "Could" even have been a woman... As long as that aspect was maintained. The Doctor HAD to be that favorite "Aunt or Uncle" that everyone thought was a little off, but you knew better!

  2. As I wrote "Nominated for Sex Education and proud that he had the "Batton" handed over!" That says it all... I won't be watching...

  3. THANK YOU I LOVED Martha Jones! She would have been PERFECT as a Pseudo Doctor after the normal 12 lives were over. They should have used past companions in those roles moving forward! They had already "Proved" that a companion COULD hold the "Timey Whimy" stuff with Donna Noble. The Tardis itself could have "selected" the new Doctors after #12 based on people from the Doctor's past who had "Absorbed" enough "Timey" stuff to be a strong candidate.

  4. Met Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) during a meet and greet for Torchwood way back in the olden days of early 2K. I loved me some Captain Jack Harkness. he was sexy as hell! I agree with you that the casting ideas for a new "Doctor" are "wrong". Which is why it should have been that after #12? The TARDIS selected "Someone" that a "Doctor" had known over his many lifetimes that had absorbed enough "Timey Whimy" stuff to be able to hook up with the Tardis for new adventures. Man! They could have brought back fan favorites OR introduced "NEW" faces from people who had encountered the Doctor who just never became a companion.

  5. Bla Ha Ha!!! Nominated for Sex Education and proud that he had the "Batton" handed over! 😱 I stopped watching because I didn't like Peter Capaldi AS the Doctor, I don't have anything personal against him, he just wasn't as "Timey Whimy, Silly Dilly" as he needed to be. I also didn't like that they didn't make "Better" choices for the "New" series of "Doctors" after #12. I mean seriously! They could have used past companions who "absorbed" enough "Timey Whimy" stuff to be "drawn" to the "role" of Doctor by the Tardis! Even if it was temporary. Freema Agyeman "Martha Jones" would have made a great pseudo "Doctor" after #12. Catherine Tate "Donna Noble" was actually the 1st pseudo doctor! Billie Piper "Rose Tyler"... They could have done a "PLAY ON" the Multiverse! Jenna Coleman "Clara Oswald"... I guess that there really isn't any diversity in the show... darn... Even Matt Lucas as "Nardole" would have been a fun pseudo Doctor! I JEST by the way!

  6. And Yes I KNOW Donna Noble could not have returned because she had been burned out by the "energy", and had to forget, as much as I loved her character, I got that. I just used her as an example of how it HAD been done before...
