It's been a minute since I've posted anything Doctor Who related on this blog so let's take care of that.
There is a flurry of speculation over who will replace Jodie Whittaker when she exits Doctor Who.
Three things to consider:
Thing #1: Nobody knows nothing.
Speculations on casting the next Doctor have always been spectacularly wrong.
When David Tennant left, no one saw Matt Smith coming.
When Matt Smith left, no one saw Peter Capaldi coming.
When Peter Capaldi left, no one saw Jodie Whittaker coming.
One can almost bet solid money that the next star of Doctor Who will NOT be Kris Marshall, Michaela Coel, Richard Ayoade, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Olly Alexander, Michael Sheen or any number of actors who have appeared on a plethora of short lists to be the next Doctor in the TARDIS.
Whoever is the next Doctor will be someone not on your list.
Thing #2: Jodie Whittaker has not said a damn thing.
Any speculation about the next star of Doctor Who has to be accompanied by the caveat that Jodie Whittaker's departure is a rumor. Jodie Whittaker herself has said absolutely zilch about her future vis a vie Doctor Who.
Given the flurry of rumors and replacement speculation, one might make the point that Jodie Whittaker' silence speaks volumes. It does stand to reason that if the rumors were not true, Jodie Whittaker would have said something by now to shut everyone up.
Thing #3: Nobody knows nothing.
Yes, I know I said that for Thing #1 but it bears repeating.
