And maybe it's just me? But it's weird how they keep saying "first person of colour"
Its as weird as me going to FiJi and saying "Oh LOOK! African Americans! Likewise if I greeted People of color with "Bula Bula!" in America. Saying their all Fijians Or "Hey MON!" to everyone in Canada being Jamaican people of color.
And this is why this pissis me off. Hello! We already HAD a FIRST PERSON WOMAN OF COLOR BBC! You damn nitwits! You could not write an article to wash your socks!
And the comic too!
She rocked! Arguably, it was one of the more exciting episodes of the 13th doc.
And boy, can she act! She Had the Charisma of the Doc. Something that Jodi just could not pull off IMO.
She's a great actor i'm told. But to the rest of the world? She's just not a Dr. Who material. I don't think she ever really got into character. In fact, they wrote her to be some weird generic shoe in. A Ditz. I'm sorry. But that's what all of her facial expression portrays in the very same media they portray her as.
Look:
That same stupid facial expression is in almost every episode. Even with reviews of the show, its like they took the Doc and tried to make it "Another Teen Movie".
They took what could have been the very best Doc to date,
and flushed it down the toilet.
Oh LOOK ITS BILL AND TED!
From the BBC itself. "I'm a FISH!"
Compared to the Eye Contact docs. (Best one in the middle btw)
And the episodes are so full of plot holes. Sucky writing. Instead of making the doc our girl hero? They showed her full of failure. Multiple deaths. Everyone just forgetting about the big death of someones mom and wife. And just going on about it like it never happned. No reflection. Nothing. The doctor would not let someones mom and wife die like that.
They took so much Promise, and RUINED IT. Even the effects were lame. And the same stupid "OMG ITS MY MOUTH AGAIN! I am Jesus Doc!
I am Whuuuut? doc.
I Love AIR! Doc...
My paycheck CLeared DOC!
now compare all those looks to just one photo of this person and realize that they wrote the thirteenth doctor to be a complete doofus.
if they want Doctor Who to succeed again, they need to sit down in the writing room and actually think of good storylines and start forgetting about what everybody else wants and start focusing on what made Doctor Who, Doctor Who!
How about less "OH SHIT" and more "I got this". Why is it like this?
Jodi as the 13th Doc
Never even WATCHED Dr. Who!
In fact, she states she never even watched a single episode of it. And it should all make some sense why she keeps making this face you see above.
Even her wardrobe and look was picked out of some fashion catalog back in 1998 she says.
And its starts to all dawn on you that Jodi was thrown into a role she did not care for. Neither did she ask for.
And that's why no one else really cared either. Even
she stated she Screwed it up.
Is it too much to ask to get a Dr. Who Fan to PLAY the Doc? I mean it can't be that hard can it?
And if the BBC cares? Maybe get people on the show that care more about the show then what color you are. What's between your legs. Whatever current stupid world view is being peddled when your trying to tell a story about the universe?
The BBC is not making a show for everyone to enjoy. They are making it for themselves. If you want to do that? Do that on your own time. Or just go all in and make everyone "Colored" and stop dicking around with it. That would actually be a great episode. The ENTIRE universe is COLORED. Even the Robots!
Hell go full out and get rid of all men. All straight people. Make everyone Queer. No more gas cars. Everything electric, Everyone is a Vegan. There is no money. There is no government. Its just one BIG universe of Free everything!
Had they did this? They would have made TV History. But no one wants to take charge of this show and put it where it needs to be. So we get Lumpy oatmeal Dr. Who until someone has the amazing idea to be Original.
