I was actually anticipating the female Doctor. Not enough to pay attention to when it came out. But before I heard about all the bad reviews I was totally prepared to join in with her story, and maybe go back and see Jenna's too. I'm against 3rd wave feminism nonsense but totally support women, rights, representation, etc. but if it can't perform that's not reason enough.

I used to love love love sci-fi when it was good enough for me.

Getting older I've found the world to be more interesting and complex and not much Sci-Fi reflects that.

And now the only Sci-Fi that I get really excited about is hard-science fiction. Not sci-fantasy with weird exceptions for gravity or vacuum of space, or lasers and monsters. I like stuff that at least tries to maintain a modicum of reality. Sure I love the Avengers. But I wish there were more movies like The Martian (though it had many flaws too). Europa Report is a fantastic one too, with another pretty face.
