Audience Participation Meme "Day Two"

Also from a_phoenixdragon, Doctor Who

Favorite characters: My favorite Doctors are Eleven and Eight, but I love Ten, Nine and Five too; Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sarah Jane Smith, Jack Harkness (I've had problems with him since Torchwood, but when he was first introduced in "The Empty Child" I loved him like you wouldn't believe), Martha Jones, Sally Sparrow, Donna Noble, River Song, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Canton Delaware III
OTP(s): Doctor/Master, Eleven/River, Amy/Rory, Jenny/Vastra
Funniest character: Simm!Master was pretty hilarious, in a creepy way.  I think the Doctor is funny too, of course.
Prettiest character: Amy, probably, although Clara is pretty damn pretty.  Also, Martha's sister Tish was gorgeous.
Most badass character: I really love Canton Delaware III; he was pretty badass (and also he just wanted to get married).  But the thing I love about Doctor Who is that you don't have to be traditionally tough to be badass- a shop girl is as likely to save the world as a secret agent.  All the companions are badass.
Most annoying character: I wasn't favorably impressed by Queen Elizabeth in "The Day of the Doctor."  Queen Elizabeth was an awesome lady, and I think they could have handled her better.
My favorite thing that has happened so far: Hard to say.  I like the larger ideas behind the series more than any specific event, and I just love the idea of Doctor Who.  I love the spirit behind it, and the way the Doctor brings out the hero in everyone.
What I would most like to see happen next: I'd like a Doctor that wasn't a white man someday.  There's no way to say it that doesn't sound critical and I actually don't feel that way- I love so many of the actors who have played the part already, it would just be nice to see something new.  I heard once that Chiwetel Ejiofor had been talked about to play the Doctor, and he would have been fantastic.  Also, Jaime Murray would be fantastic.  I'm just saying.

The most interesting thing with this show for me is the endless possibilities, and as you say, that everyone can be the hero. It's such an excellent space for inventive storytelling and I love how the show renew's itself when cast change and new people are brought in.

And your last point is a valdid one! Hopefully one day :)

Oh I love Doctor Who! Great point about badass companions ;) I like that it isn't easy too-- like they are badass because they sacrifice and struggle, it isn't just about showing up.

I feel your pain on Queen Elizabeth though, HUGE missed opportunity, that should have been epic.

And HECK YES. I think Capaldi will be great, but I was SOOOO disappointed that it was another skinny white man.
