Search for a new Time Lord
A Time Lord bows out!
Sad news or happy, depending on where you liked him or not:

Oh yeah, I agree, I vote to bring back Romanadvoratrelundar (or Romana, for short). Then I would be totally in love with Doctor Who

Sad news! I liked Matt Smith, as did my kids... I wonder why Dave Tennant and Matt bow out after 3 or so years. I am sure they will look back in a decade or so and wished that they stayed for another couple of years...

Why do people keep saying this? There are both male and female timelords - Romana was a female timelord. Why is there an argument that a male timelord suddenly become female? The character is pretty much asexual as it is.
Is it just feminism? A male character who has been around for 50 years must be replaced with a female one in the name of sexual equality?
If that's the case, then I insist that in future productions of Sense and Sensibility, Elizabeth Bennett be recast as male!

Although there have been two incarnations of Romana and despite my earlier quip about voting for a female Time Lord, I agree, for the current doctor to suddenly change gender would be a little strange and may put a lot of people of the show anyway, so it would be a very brave move on Steve Moffats part.
As long as they don't get someone like Sylvester McCoy (he was the worst incarnation in my view) I will be happy with whomever they get.

Ah, so I guess it's about Dr. Who........to each his own.
I started reading science fiction probably three years after DW first appeared and am still a fan but that show just never "did it" for me.

All this talk of a woman Doctor or the he/she be bisexual is just rot. The person portraying the character needs to be asexual.
It is hard enough at times to watch Torchwood with all that crap going on, it just isn't needed and you people wonder what is wrong with the world.
