@schornstephan Oh please.. Matt Smith ended up with the Tardis on its back in a backyard somewhere..
Don't you also have to complain that she's not chubby and therefore a bad rolemodel for young girls? Or how about that she has both feet and walks, which could be hurtful for disabled people. She's also white so that's probably racist.
Some people just have to complain about everything and see prejudice, sexism and racism in every corner....

Great episode!
I loved the end very much when Lethbridge-Staward didn't die due to the Doctor sending him to when the Christmas Truce happened. So much Doctor-y!
[ Is Doctor-y a word? Who cares, no it is one ;-) ]
Absolutely impressing goodbye of the 12th Doctor!
But as usual, whenever I heard German (except when they sang Stille Nacht), it sounded terrible. Is the BBC not able to hire some pronounciation trainer?
It's really distracting if the "German soldier" speaks German worse than some 8th grade exchange student from Manchester who has learned German for six-ish months.
Although that's just a production problem, the scenes in the crater themselves were great.
The first woman to be the Doctor presses one button, blows up the TARDIS, AND loses it? Are you beeping kidding me?
That's like having the first Asian Doctor crash the TARDIS into a rice field thereby killing a dog or the first black Doctor crash it into a cotton field... Terrible idea!
Couldn't you just have let out that button press? The TARDIS could've just hit some satellite while the Doctor was still disoriented because of his regeneration. Then the TARDIS could've started to burn and the Doctor could have fallen out of it. Same thing, but without any woman can't drive cliché.
I think some "The doctor shall not be a woman"-guy has hacked the BBC and cut some sketch from next week's Saturday Night Live into this introduction scene. That's the only reasonable explanation for this scene having been shown like this.
At some point when she's established as the Doctor, a scene like this wouldn't have hurt her audience's picture of her. But not during her introduction. Things like this are like farting. It may happen at some point in a relationship without any consequences. But on a first date... Better not!
Nevertheless, I really hope this introduction scene was like a fart on a first date. Not intended and just an accident.
I'm still looking forward to the new episodes with Jody Whitaker!
