if it bothers you so much, there is always another option. Indeed. My option has been to watch the Patrick Troughton episodes in place of "Series 10", and I don't regret it one bit. The old black & white episodes focused on fun and adventure, rather than promoting leftist politics every episode. And Zoe is 10x the companion that "Bill" is, thanks to having an actual personality and being likeable and sexy. Imagine if Moffat had written Zoe, she would have come out as a transgender autistic paraplegic Muslim within 10 seconds of appearing on screen the first time (and then reminded you about it every episode) and then introduced her black boyfriend character named "Jimmy Clark" who is self-centered total douchebag always whining about how she spends time with The Doctor instead of him.  Oh please, JIMMY! My preferred pronouns are HE, ever since I transitioned last year! Gawd you're TRANSPHOBIC! Now I have to get on saying my 3:00 prayers facing Mecca so I can be back on the TARDIS in time.  Yeah, TARDIS this, TARDIS that! I'm so sick of hearing about the bloody TARDIS! What's the Docta got that I ain't got, ay? ![]() When did the idea that people shouldn't be discrimintated against based on their ethnicity, sexuality, social class, etc. become leftist politics? To me, that's just basic human decency. And for the record, sci-fi has been tackling social issues for a long, long time. That includes Doctor Who. As for your hypotheticals regarding what Moffat would do with the likes of Zoe, it's drivel, and deserves to be called out as just that. Spare us your poor attempts at Straw-Manning.
