All good things must come to an end: Jodie Whittaker leaving Doctor Who next year

It was great while it lasted. I hope Whittaker is leaving on her own terms and not because of the toxic elements of the Whovian fandom who abhorred anyone but a white dude playing a fictional time traveling alien. I, on the other hand, was one of the many fans who were enthusiastic that a woman had finally been cast to play the Doctor. With luck, she won't be the last to step into the role.

I also hope that we'll be seeing her more. Several of her predecessors and other Whovian alumni have found success post-DW, and hopefully Jodie Whittaker will join them.

Chris Chibnall is also departing, meaning the show will need a new head honcho.

Let the speculation on their successors commence!

Currently reading: I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

 

Never expected to read this, but I am and I regret not doing it sooner. The stories are a lot more enjoyable than I thought they would be. It must be - I started reading this on like Monday and I'll be finished with it tomorrow or Friday. I've been reading like crazy for some reason, having already put away ten books so far this year. Of those ten, seven have been SF. Eight if you count Jurassic Park. I honestly have no idea how long this fervor will last, but I'm going to take full advantage of it. Who knows, maybe I'll finally read Dune.
