I can kinda understand where you're coming from. Ish. Though each Doctor being so different, surely you can't have found all of them attractive? And unless you're Mary-Sue-ing, then surely it is the chemistry of the characters in the ship that make or break things, not how attractive the Doctor is to you on a personal level.

Maybe you'll find a female Doctor/male companion ship that floats your boat?

Personally, I also dislike the fact that the new Doctor is female - mostly because I don't see why we couldn't have had a new female Time Lord join the crew and be the Doctor's match, rather than simply re-writing a male character as female. Seems lazy (I had the same issue with the Ghostbusters reboot). I mean, is writing an interesting and powerful female character really so hard that the only way to do it is to change the gender of an already well-established male one?

Sigh.

Historically, yes. A lot of writers are completely clueless.

I really wish this wasn't the case. I want new and interesting female characters, god damn it, not rehashes of old male ones! Why can't they just leave my old faves alone and give me something new and exciting to get all fannish about?

*grumbles*

I mean, it's not like it can't be done. And encouraging people to write new and original female characters means that we're going to get well written ones more often, purely because numbers (and, you know, encouraging aspiring writers who want to write interesting female characters...).
