The 13th ‘Doctor Who’: Don’t Diss The Sonic!

Published

on

Don’t look now everyone, it’s our favorite break-all-kinds-of-taboos BBC show Doctor Who, back to shock and amaze and, once again, shatter all kinds of preconceived barriers about what our beloved Sci-Fi show should be!

Filling perhaps the biggest shoes in what could conceivably be called the longest-running sci-fi show in modern history is the 13th Doctor, and this final taboo to break is perhaps the hardest, the gender line. We’ve known him by many names and faces over the years, in black and white and funny clothing, with quips and quirks and qualms and such losses, he’s our madman with a box, and it has always been a male character.

Selected for the role of the incarnation of the 13th Doctor is Jodie Whittaker, mostly known for her role on the BBC show Broadchurch, Whittaker has gamely embraced the role, despite rather vocal backlash from all sorts of Whovians, as DW fans as often known. Lady fans are already speculating on the role model possibilities for Lady Doc, whereas older Whovians are often heard lamenting the choice as a cave-in to fan pressure and an exaggerated move of Politically Correct-ism, especially in these politically troubled times. Have some pity on Whittaker, Whovian fandom at large, there are like multiple galaxy-sized expectations she has to live up to.

We know that 13 will have a whole new set of companions after the departure of both Nardole and Bill coinciding with Peter Capaldi’s departure as the previous Doctor, they are Graham (Bradley Walsh), Ryan (Tosin Cole), and Yasmin (Mandip Gill). The controversial and sometimes brilliant show writer and executive producer Steven Moffat left the series in 2017, with Chris Chibnail and some others taking his place.

So what do we know about the new Lady Doc? Her initial outfit, which I’m wagering they change at some point as most modern Doctors do, is cutesy and old-fashioned with colorful culottes and a lilac coat, and piercings too. Pay close attention to how her outfits will subtly change, Whovians, it has never been a better time to tell an amazing subplot inside a persons clothing, than right now!

We know her first words with this face, from the Christmas Doctor Who episode ‘Twice Upon a Time’, are “Oh, brilliant!” and that’s such an adorably BBC thing to say. We don’t know what manner of sonic screwdriver Lady Doc will have, or that she will even have one at all, too many people are claiming the screwdriver is too phallic and the brand new woman Doctor should have something feminine; whatever. We also know that our new Doctor will have a very different TARDIS, given the premiere photos of Lady Doc’s outfit and the much darker TARDIS in the background.

Everything else is open to speculation, but one last thing we know for almost-certain is that the premiere of the brand new season of Doctor Who with the first Lady Doctor ever, should begin October 2018!

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
