Precisely why I love him so–it seems to me that after banging around through time and space dealing with endless clueless gormless humans that anyone would get pretty tired of their shit and start kicking asses rather than wiping noses. The pivot to nicey nicey Jodie Whittaker really doesn’t do it for me–I was completely onboard with doing a gender switch on the Doctor but wasn’t prepared for her to be such an…ingenue.

To be fair, the guy was fired, and then they had the balls to ask him to come in to film a short sequence. I would told them to f- off too.
