Poll: Is the Doctor (Doctor Who) Gay?
- Thread starter interspark
- Start date
He practically had a non-sexual relationship with Rose Tyler while David Tennant was playing the Doctor. However, the new Doctor, Matt Smith, from what I watched on the documentary before the new season began, they wanted to make it more 'sexual' for the more desperate alone in a basement of their mothers' fans out there. I consider the show to be in respite until they replace Matt Smith, the faster the better IMO.
I don't think he is nor do I give a shit. Besides, he's a freaking time lord, non-human, so he's naturally going to be awkward with humans so it's gonna look weird to all of us because he has this vast amount knowledge of time and space.
Your poll is a little too biased by the way, not that this criticism might mean anything to you, it's just an opinion, like my answer.

Oh yeah. there is a current hero on tv that isnt instantly having sex with all women he likes, even if he has other, real problems to deal with. he must be gay. Also he doesnt look like a buffed out duke-nukem clone and i don't like his non-machismo way of movement, so he must be one of those homesexuals.
1)Who cares
2)What i said above
3)people who numerize their arguments never get as far as number 3

I assumed he was beyond sexuality as an advanced species, therefore anyone aesthetically pleasing with the right personality would be able to woo him, but they'd need to be pretty damn spectacular. It varies from incarnation to incarnation with the latest being pretty much oblivious to anyone's advances.
That's kind of my entire point though. You're totally and utterly wrong about what a regeneration means. It doesn't change every single aspect of a person, it just changes the appearance. Same guy, different teeth. That's the way its always been. But there are similarities. It's the same GUY for one. It's (largely) the same personality for one. And for those of you REALLY paying attention, there's even a pattern to the personalities. Hartnell was a dick. A loveable dick, but a dick none the less. Trouten was flamboyant and goofy. Pertwee was flamboyant and serious. Tom Baker was goofy, but had an undercurrent of being a dangerous bastard with a firm moral compass. Davidson was nice, and a little bit oblivious.interspark said:
Then Colin Baker started the whole cycle off again by being a lovable dick. McCoy was flamboyant and goofy. Then there was the movie one which didn't really happen. Then there's Eccleston who was flamboyant but serious followed by Tennant who was goofy but dangerous followed by Smith who is nice and oblivious. It's a pattern. There are 5 personalities to the doctor. It's not like he starts with a blank slate every single time. It's the same guy who swiped a tardis from Gallifrey way back in the day and pulled a runner with his granddaughter. It is not in any way, shape or form another person. He still gets maudlin about Susan now, 600 odd years later, because she's his granddaughter. He still misses Gallifrey because that's his home. He's more lonely now, more isolated, and definitely more jaded, but it's the SAME GUY. So again, this entire notion is ludicrous. Do time lords change? Sure. But look at the master. Gets dumped in time waaaaaaay into the future, goes senile, and the second he manages a regeneration wakes up and realizes, "That's right! I'm an utter bastard! I'd forgotten!"
So again, saying "well tennant was straight, but smith is clearly a friend of dorthy." is exactly the same as saying "Well sure, I was hetrosexual, happily married with 3 kids, but that was LAST week, who's to say what I'll wake up craving tomorrow!"
Doctor Who is considered a family show and Torchwood an "adult Doctor Who" in the UK, mainly because Torchwood deals with sex, drugs, death etc more than Doctor Who. At least that's what RTD saidSusan Arendt said:
OT: The 9th and 10th Doctor's were less towards gay tendencies, or at least openly. Mainly because of Rose Tyler. Although you never know what Captain Jack did between episodes! I don't know enough about the older series to say about the older Doctors.
Matt Smith is a little more flippant. But I don't think that Moffat would play around with his sexuality too much, as that (unfortunately due to the nature of the human race) would alienate viewers.
Edit: Finally found what I was looking for;
I'm pretty sure Matt Smith is a homosexual? Correct me if I'm wrong haha.
Personally, I stopped watching the show when he came on the scene. Just doesn't appeal to me anymore, boo. So glad it's gained so much popularity not only inside, but also outside of Britain.

Just so you know, he doesn't actually become a different person each time. his personality traits just get shuffled around a bit in the regeneration. Some get pushed back and some get pushed forward but he's essentially the same person.
As you may have seen from the Ecclestone Doctor onwards, he's been perfectly happy with anyone of any sexuality so I honestly don't think it's an important distinction for him. (At least according to modern writing)
Why is it that the current doctor is almost always the "greatest"? is it because his stories haven't actually been written yet, so people are optimistically overlaying his potential for greatness as opposed to his actual level of awesomosity?
I still say that Peter Davison was the greatest, and the quintessential old style Englishman.
Celery is cool.

Considering that they brought some sort of romance between him and that guy from Torchwood. I would say both. However, considering that he's a alien and therefore not human, I'll say he's a deviant.interspark said:
I've got a question for you now: Does It matter and, if yes, why?
They could bring Captain Jack back, but it would really piss off Rory...interspark said:
Captain Jack: Hey Doctor, I'm back! And who's this lovely lady?
Rory: FFFFUUUUUUUU-
Ha! they should bring him back, make him go after Rory and completely blank Amy all the time. Her character needs bringing down a peg or two, she's not Aphrodite.Geo Da Sponge said:
