Tom Clark 05/31/21 10:00:35 AM #11:	Not really. Jodie Whittaker is great in other things I've seen her in, so it's not a slight on her as an actress, her characterisation is just really bland, she's still not had that moment that makes you sit up and think "Yes, that's The Doctor, that's the person who is five steps ahead of everyone in the room!" I think the big issue is that they tried to make the current TARDIS team feel like a group of friends, and arguably succeeded too well so that The Doctor just feels like an equal part of the group rather than the lead character. It's telling that (HUGE spoilers for the most recent season, if you haven't seen it yet) ~~Jo Martin had barely a dozen scenes as The Doctor throughout the season, and has had a more impactful take on the role than Jodie has across both her seasons.~~ It's all down to how the chararacter is written - The Doctor shouldn't just be an equal part of an ensemble (coincidentally, this is also the problem I have with the Fifth Doctor - maybe they shouldn't dress the Doc in beige if they want them to have gravitas, haha) --- https://imgur.com/6eF0W <cite>Tom Clark posted [p:954487985] in Do people ...
