Glad we get a female doctor too. My eldest three were really excited about it when they found out. (They were raised Whovian). I know Sydney Newman (Creator of Doctor Who) wanted to do a female doctor, and it was discussed even back as far as the fourth doctor. So the backlash is pretty silly. Especially since we've had Missy for a while now (and she was pretty fantastic)

I like the choice. I mean, time lords don't really have gender preference from my understanding, so i don't think that there will be any issue with the whole marriage between him/her a rivers song deal. Plus the show can basically take what ever turn and implement anything they want at any given time which is really why i enjoy watching. If you get a chance watch Rivers' reaction to the announcement, they caught it on video because she was at a live event on stage when it was announced and the crowd got to tell her lol.

What was always interesting to me is how Amy Pond is actually river song's mother and technically the doctor's mother in-law but during the show, was younger that both of them. Funny how things can work out when time doesn't go on a linear scale.
