Baby hated Doctor Who.

DOCTOR WHO premiered on the BBC in 1963. The BBC was the British Broadcasting Company. The citizens of the United Kingdom paid for the BBC. It was nationalized television rendered as a service to the home nations.

Doctor Who was about an alien who traveled through time and space. The titular role of the Doctor had been played by many actors.

Because the Doctor was an alien, whenever an actor relinquished the role, the Doctor would suffer a fatal injury and then regenerate.

Regeneration was supercontained reincarnation. In the fictional context of Doctor Who, a regeneration meant that bright light would engulf the Doctor and then his body would change from one incarnation to another. His personality and face would be different. All of his memories were the same.

In the real world, regeneration meant the transition between actors was orchestrated with the dodgy special effects endemic to public television.

The one real constant in the various regenerations of the Doctor was that he always talked and acted like a British eccentric, thereby making Doctor Who, like Girls, a program about dynasties.

The most recent Doctor, played by the actor Matt Smith, was going to regenerate at the end of 2013. People on Twitter speculated about which actor would take up the role of the Doctor, and whether or not this actor would be a woman or a Person of Color.

A wide range of people on Twitter found this casting decision to be a very important issue. They believed that having a woman or a Person of Color as the Doctor would be a step forward for the representation of the disenfranchised in media.

Almost everyone alive, members of disenfranchised groups or not, wanted to be legitimated by intellectual properties in which they had no vested interest. The human species was a bunch of assholes.
