Face it, a female doctor just was not a thing most of the viewership wanted. It has nothing to do with woke.

The viewing figures do not lie.

oh shut up, how many doctors were there post-Tennant? it has nothing to do with one woman.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh

You know most of the viewership? Amazing!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, there really are knuckledraggers who stopped watching when Jodie was cast and they’ve been shouting about it ever since. But they’re not the reason for the ratings decline during Thirteen’s run; that’s down to crappy storylines and terrible direction.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh fuck off. I loved Jodie's Doctor. I've waited for this run so much. But the writing was so bland I had to nope out. Also viewership spiked in her first episodes.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Are those fans and Ten fans really one and the same? I well remember when Moffatt fans were considered to be prejudiced dudebros, and RTD fans had the reputation of being open-minded and progressive. Are you sure Chibnall detractors aren't the sort to want Eleven and Amy Pond forever?

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
The nasty fans (if we're thinking of the same ones) got real mad about certain stuff in the first special. I gave up interacting with the Doctor Who fandom during Twelve's run. It was just so damn exhausting. Now I just sit in my corner of fandom, write my fic, and enjoy it on my own.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so thrilled that there were things in there too piss off those fans. I love Ten and RTD. I'm glad they are back, and I'm glad the nasty fans weren't actually catered to.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
David Tennant coming back isn’t catering to anyone in the fandom, it’s a last desperate attempt to keep the show going. Because the fandom doesn’t matter but the casual viewers, who should outnumber the fandom 10:1, are what keeps a programme on the air. If the hardcore fans are the only audience, it’s time to shut things down. Frankly, it’s surprising they’re trying to keep it going.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Not gonna mince words here: the idea that Tennant returning to the show is an example of catering to shitty prejudiced fans is wrong and it's stupid.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well I'm having a great time with these new episodes <3

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Me too! I’m really loving the specials. The second one was insane in the best way.

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Same! Doctor Who is fun to watch again for me and that’s all I ever wanted. I can’t wait to see Fifteen’s adventures!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
The second episode was so fucking good!

Me too and I was wary at best beforehand.

Plus given some of the things he’s said over the two episodes, this is clearly not The Doctor for catering to any prejudiced fans who allegedly stopped watching.

Is the argument that those fans are only misogynists and there's nothing they will dislike about Ncuti Gatwa?

anyway you could probably just bring back martha to test this theory, let's do it

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
O would love it if Martha came back. She was my favourite companion, together with Donna.

and it'd be very interesting* to have a doctor actually be into her

*indulgently satisfying to me

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't there a theory where the Doctor's appearance can be influenced by past aquaintences? This was largely a thing for Peter Capaldi's Doctor - but I'd be up for 'Doctor' Martha :D

yes, yess, YES *rubbing my hands villainously*

(Anonymous) 2023-12-04 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guarantee that if the problem with 13 was actually about "wokeness," those same people did not enjoy 10th's return episode, either.
