I really wanted to make an OP about this subject but I arrived to the conclusion that it is pointless. But I'm glad you did.
Here is my point of view . 9th,10th,11th were all awesome... 12th was good. He was a little more classic era than his last three predecessors but he
was still " The Doctor".
Then came 13th... And I was so excited for the first female doctor. Just for the concept of it. This is a time lord,and I have no issue whatsoever
with the doctor being female. In fact one of the best Master(Missy) in recent "Who history" , right next to to John SIMM,in my opinion is Michelle
Gomez( she was phenomenal). So understandably, I was excited to see what they were going to do with a female Doctor.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, Jodie Whittaker is an excellent actress,but she was never "The Doctor". There was
never one moment,one episode, were I was like, Oh Sh!t,yup that is The Doctor. Nothing like the Racnoss episode or the Pandorica episode. It's almost
like the writers forgot who the Doctor is.
What lacked in Jodie's doctor is the fact that The Doctor is the most dangerous being in the universe (the oncoming storm,the time lord victorious)
and the only reason the episodes last that long is only because The Doctor is trying to save everybody,even it's enemies. It doesn't even need to be
in every episode, but once in a while,there need to be a reminder who it is and why it's name or it's title or the name of its planet recreate such
fright and amazement.
And then there is Ncuti...Nothing wrong with him being black or an immigrant (there was poised to be a Doctor who isn't white,get over it). My problem
is that He is going to be used to advance ideologies instead of just being a fun sci Fi tv show(one of the best at one point in time). And that his
doctor will go the way of Jodie's...
Well at least we got to see David Tennant reprise his role,so there is that
