I&#8217;m cool with the choice of Peter Capaldi. According to the\u00a0<em>Guardian<\/em>, he is the first actor with an Oscar\u00ae to play the character. Must be for supporting actor\u00a0because I&#8217;ve never heard of him. Then again, Patrick Stewart was nobody until he was Captain Picard despite being Gurney Hallack in\u00a0<em>Dune\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Guinevere&#8217;s father in\u00a0<em>Excalibur.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As for all the whiners about the BBC not going with a woman or a non-White. I&#8217;m not disappointed over the latter. I think they&#8217;ll get there eventually since the character has gained global appeal. Regardless of his skin color, I think the actor should be from the UK. As for the Doctor being a woman, really? Some traditions are best left alone. Female Time Lords are fine, maybe even a spinoff, but it would be as lame as Spock or McCoy being &#8220;re-imagined&#8221; as women. Starbuck was a big gamble and that only worked due to Katee Sackoff&#8217;s talents, otherwise it would&#8217;ve a failed, desperate plea for attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Looking forward to seeing the Christmas special when the Doctor regenerates.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The frenzy over who got the role was about as meaning as anything the English royal family does.
