Review by standard888

After looking at many of the negative reviews, I feel I need to speak up for people who actually know what good writing is, and who believe that women on screen in meaty science fiction roles is a good thing. We've watched Jodi Whittaker for two full seasons and two holiday specials, and we think she's fantastic. She embodies the insatiable curiosity of the Doctor, but also nails the exuberant problem-solving genius and happiness in a clever solution. The rapport with her trio of companions is remarkably respectful and like a true friendship of equals. The old school Doctor, when stories have him ordering everyone around and makes sure you know he's the cleverest in the room, are old fashioned and, frankly, disrespectful of the diversity of the humanity the Doctor claims to love and champion. As a child I liked them, and while I still watch to fill in gaps in my knowledge, they don't resonate the way more recent incarnations and storytelling does. But it was time for Davies and Moffat to go, and "Chib" is an excellent replacement. It's really sad seeing all the thinly veiled racism and misogyny in the complaints and petitions. Come on, people, most of us have grown up! The Doctor can, too!
