The new Doctor is not going to be a woman, no idea why so many people online are getting into debates about it. And to be honest I'm baffled when people label Moffat as some sort of terribly sexist writer. He's resorted to damsel in distress tropes? Wow, nobody else out there does that! Guy Ritchie's second Sherlock Holmes film bumped off Irene Adler at the start, but I don't see anybody banging on about that.

"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Not to mention Moffat subverts and even inverts damsel in distress tropes at least as often as he plays them straight. Let's not forget how many times female characters have unambiguously saved the Doctor. I find it baffling that the creator of Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint is often accused of misogyny.
Probably because no one can say the first part for certain (unless you have a TARDIS and haven't been sharing.Originally Posted by charliepanayi
) and because speculation is fun. Tell me that it wouldn't be interesting to suddenly have a woman play the Doctor.
The Doctor hasn't been a woman, therefore Moffat is misogynistic. It is a terrible kind of stupid logic.I find it baffling that the creator of Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint is often accused of misogyny.
With the right actress, I think I could come to accept the Doctor being played by a woman. I have nothing against the notion of it but I still have trouble picturing it as being anything but a move in the wrong direction.Tell me that it wouldn't be interesting to suddenly have a woman play the Doctor.
Also apparently http://stfu-moffat.tumblr.com/ is a thing.
Whoever made that needs shot in the flaps.
Raistling banged on about that on this page you muppet.
Actually he was banging on about Moffat's treatment of Irene Adler, not Guy Ritchie's.
That said Elementary had by far the best take on her character. And I'm not going to say anything more because spoilers. Seriously don't even look her character up unless you've seen the finale.

Oh I'm just illiterate and dumb please ignore me
Please no Benedict Cumberbatch.
Apparently the Twelfth Doctor has been chosen. No announcement of who it is yet though.
I read that it's going to be Domhnall Gleeson yesterday.
So, he's going to be ginger if this is true.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
I read that they've put it between three people, Domhnall Gleeson being one of those people.
This article has three names. It might even be the one Sam read.
It is, indeed!
BLACK DOCTOR
Yeah, Kaluuya would be an interesting choice. While DW has addressed discrimination before (think "Human Nature" and "The Family of Blood"), it's never been the Doctor who's had to face it directly. This could lead to interesting plots if handled well.
