Doctor Who: The Movie

It's the one on the right that I'm concerned about. Everyone knows you don't pick red for the color when doing this sort of thing. Is she trying to get turned into a sugarcube or something?

I'm not going to get into my thoughts on the female Doctor again. Once was enough. But I will say that the viewing figures are exactly how I expected them to be: sky high for the first few episodes as everyone tuned in to give her a chance and/or see her fail, and have now leveled into just average. I will give the female Doctor one thing: I think the viewing figures are what you would expect from such an old and saturated show, it is facing the exact problem that Trek did in the early 2000s. Something radical such as the sex change is actually what the show needs, but it needs to go way further than that. Its the same old show - but now with a woman.

That gives me an idea for a Trek reboot...

The two on the right have good costumes, not sure about the leather mini on the left.

That's Captain Jane T. Kirk. The shirt is modeled after a shirt Shatner wore. The leather skirt is new, though Nichols wore something like it in some of the TOS movies.

^ I Googled that, and the first hit was an article about a comic on Memory Beta, as expected. But then, further down the search list, there's an article on... Memory Gamma? And then... Memory Delta?

Just how many Memorys are there?

I don't know but, old nerd that I am, I'm thankful for the memorys.

Something interesting that I noticed in the movie is at the beginning. The Seventh Doctor knew that his body was getting weaker and he was on the verge of regenerating. I find that interesting because if he didn't get shot he could have 'died' of old age.

Regarding the leather mini, that's captain's privilege to a more special uniform.

Also we have a trailer for the new reboot already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x-ATlpqo1M

Isn't the leather mini uniform a version of one of the mirror universe uniforms? The insignia being sideways and near the waist is what made me think of that.

I think it's based on this shirt. Kirk wore one like it in some TOS episodes.

As an aside, I am hearing rumours that Jodie Whitaker has already quit the role. I do not know if this is confirmed or not, but if so, Jesus what a f- up. Did they not sign her for a minimum term when she passed the audition? Why even take the job in the first place? My guess is just so she can go down in history as the first female Doctor Who. She is now after all just as timeless as the character she is portraying - millions of people will still know who she is even after we have all turned to dust. Pretty crappy thing to do tbh as it stole the job from someone who was passionate about the role.

If I understand the stories from the rumor mill, the rumors allege the showrunner is upset with the way the show is going (apparently because he's upset with a series a year), and Whitaker is leaving in solidarity, having worked with the showrunner on Broadchurch.
