It's blatantly obvious that Jodie Whitaker's role as the new Doctor is a diversity hire/virtue signal by the BBC. The Doctor is only female because of "diversity" and "social progress". They're isolating a good chunk of Doctor Who fans who believe that the Doctor should be male, since he's been that way for almost 55 years, and a change like this would be too drastic for the show. This isn't surprising, considering that the BBC recently denied applications from two interns, simply for being white. Yes, Jodie is a very good actor (I've watched Broadchurch before), but Doctor Who isn't ready for this stuff yet. What they should've done is introduce a female Timelord as the next Doctor's companion (like Romana back during the Fourth Doctor's tenure), who is equally as brave and formidable as the Doctor.
I could care less about the overarching themes of the show; I don't even watch the damn thing anymore. But this decision is way too heavy handed (politically speaking), and I guarantee that the ratings will plummet after the first or second episode of the season.
And all of this will happen, simply because of PC culture and unnecessary social pandering.
For the few people that actually like my posts, I'd like to wish my still-active followers a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. I left PMC almost two years ago around this time, and a lot has changed since I left. Almost all of my followers are inactive, the forums have transformed into a platform for server ads, and I have grown out of the very games, movies and TV shows that were the basis for this account.
I hope that both my account and the ones of all the people who still use PMC grow and prosper over the course of 2018.

Awake. Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child, my sweet one. Choose the day and choose the sign of your day the day's divinity First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach and cooled jeweled moon Couples naked race down by its quiet side And we laugh like soft, mad children Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy The music and voices are all around us.
Choose they croon the Ancient Ones the time has come again choose now, they croon beneath the moon beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest Enter the hot dream Come with us everything is broken up and dances.
Indians scattered, On dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child’s Fragile eggshell mind
We have assembled inside, This ancient and insane theater To propagate our lust for life, And flee the swarming wisdom of the streets.
The barns have stormed The windows kept, And only one of all the rest To dance and save us From the divine mockery of words, Music inflames temperament.
Ooh great creator of being Grant us one more hour, To perform our art And perfect our lives.
We need great golden copulations,
When the true kings murderers Are allowed to roam free, A thousand magicians arise in the land Where are the feast we are promised?
One more thing
Thank you oh lord For the white blind light Thank you oh lord For the white blind light
A city rises from the sea I had a splitting headache From which the future's made
When I was back there in seminary school There was a person there Who put forth the proposition That you can petition the Lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer Petition the lord with prayer You cannot petition the Lord with prayer!
