Jodie Whittaker steps down as Dr Who

[Thebestoftherest]

So? The shows reconning things isn't good it annoys old fans and scares off new people.

I know people are talking a lot about this, but it's standard and expected. A regeneration of the Doctor lasts three seasons and then it's time to move to the next. I think Revolution of the Daleks helped digest what's happened somewhat. I don't think it's the show shattering reveal some act like (Timelords have never been shining examples morality, so I could see them do this), so they can continue onward with this. It might even open up some opportunities.

Not all doctors stay only three seasons (looking at you Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee). Heck if anything she might stay longer than three seasons if 1. she likes the role and doesn't interfere with anything or 2.To spite the people whining about a female doctor.

Yes but that was classic era things change

Yeah, the Timelords have committed acts in the past that would be considered atrocities like how in an attempt to prevent alien spies from escaping with their secrets, they changed Earth's position which caused disasters that killed a huge number of the planet's population, and the revelation led to one of the few good 6th Doctor scenes.

From what i've seen of both eras besides the doctor the only other decent timelords seem to be Romana and a couple of others.

3.27: ''But where is the plummet!? I'm not seeing the big kaboom.''

David Tennant, Voyage of the Damned - 13.31 million.

Jodie Whittaker, Revolution of the Daleks - 6.25 million.

This my friend is why you should always fact check agenda-driven Youtubers such as this. And I would also like to note that Voyage of the Damned managed to get double the viewing figures despite the fact that people were allowed to leave their homes back then. We're in a Lockdown in Britain. We are required by law to sit inside with little else to do but watch TV - and it STILL didn't manage to get close.

Has it been confirmed yet about Jodie leaving yet or is it still a rumor?

Hmm no tv shows had that kind of ratings anymore.
