Fortunately, as you can tell from looking at the comments sections on any of the articles on this, nerds have reacted in an admirable, welcoming fashion to this annou-

At this point I'm not so sure that they're actually outraged by stuff like this, but its they only way they know how to get attention.

I don't get why the doctor can't be a woman. The doctor takes many forms. Sometimes old, sometimes young. Why can't he be a she too? I'm not advocating that it be done out of some fake egalitarian thing for social justice but I'm not understanding why the doctor, given the characters development, wouldn't mind being a woman as well.

There isn't a good reason, of course, even within the Doctor Who universe. But a certain subset of people also freak out at the idea of a black James Bond, so...

I’m all for a lady Doctor. I guess what bums me out is that she’s visibly less idiosyncratic physically than the last few Doctors, who all have kinda unique faces. I hope the outfit she has on in the reveal vid isn’t her actual costume (I’m almost sure it isn’t).

Doctor Who has ALREADY been female, played by Joanne Lumley, in the same Christmas Special where Edmund Blackadder also became a Doctor.

SO. FUCKING. THERE.

Nerds, DIAF.

Sorry, a black Bond is so passé now. This is the next step.

The Dr Who fanbase is pretty weird already, but by judging on my facebook feed, a lot of the negative comments are coming from actual women  :lol but then again they are the kind of fans that drops thousands to travel the world to take $150 pictures with David Tennant.

People really don't care because people stopped watching because the writing is bland and the sidekicks forgettable.

AND THEY WASTED PETER CAPALDI

When are they going to cast a stupid James Bond, aside from Roger Moore of course.

Story-wise it makes sense for Doctor Who to be a woman this time. He saw how the Master became the Missy and how she changed for the better. He hasn't been happy with who he is so he might be looking for a similar change. Also he seems to learn and take queues from his companions and his most recent companion was a lesbian. So it kind of makes more sense for him to be a woman this time instead of a man.

The only way Peter Capaldi was not going to be wasted is if they did a TV-MA version of Dr. Who.

Truth. The Moffat years have been a huge disappointment. His first season is mostly great, but that's it. When he was picked, all indications were good since he had written by far the best episodes of the RTD years, but he just ended up being a near complete flop.
