Why I should have been the new Doctor
So I wake up from my nap, and find that the sonic screwdriver that has rested comfortably on my headboard for months is lying somehow on the floor. Going downstairs, I find that a woman, Jodie Whitaker, is the new Doctor. While I am not crushed in my male ego, I just wonder what effect on the timelines this will have...
Let's hope it doesn't come to that. In the meantime, I wonder why I wasn't selected- other than the fact I never auditioned. Here are ten good reasons I should have been the 13th Doctor:
1- I HAVE a sonic screwdriver
So it's a model year behind. Like John Hurt said, "Different casing, same programming."
2- I understand Timey-Whimey stuff
I was taught chronal mechanics by Marvel comics. Totally necessary when debating John Calvin.
3- Scrappy!
Think about it! Not only is he a great companion, but what if he was the Master's next incarnation? Get it- the Master being the pet and the Doctor being the... master?
4- I already have a unique, Doctor -ready look:
5- New Location- Fort Wayne, Indiana
Because come on, how many times can you destroy London?
6- Like the Doctor, I have tried to drive with the parking brake on...
7- Who really thinks fish fingers and custard goes together? With me, it would be...
8- Unlike every other incarnation, I know the BEST way to beat Daleks...
Tip the damn thing over, roll his guns away from you. Exterminate THAT, dumbass!
9- A Midol shortage need not endanger the world....
...however, a Pepsi shortage could get a bit dicey...
And Number 10-
...if the lock is wood, I'm not afraid to break a window....

ReplyDeleteSo...the new Doctor is a lady. We've have time-ladies in the past (Romana comes to mind immediately).
But why NOW? I can just see the NEW sonic - PINK!!!
(absolutely NO relation to the dearly-departed Danny, mind you)
The BBC could score a REAL coup and make her GAY (like the recently departed and risen anew BILL).
All that aside. I think you've come up with some GREAT reasons to BE the next Doctor.
I think I might do a similar post this week (perhaps...maybe...or I could do one last month...I can never get all that right).
Good post.
Stay safe (and well-companioned) up there, brother Time-Lord.
I too thought about a ten reasons for you... but you would know better than I. Have at it!
DeleteYou got my vote the moment you mentioned Scrappy.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? He'd be a natural as the Master... think of the cliffhanger reveal!
DeleteI have never watched Dr Who
ReplyDeleteShame, shame, lol!
