大衛(wèi)·田納特回歸出演第十四任博士，雖然《神秘博士》六十周年特輯預(yù)告預(yù)計(jì)將講述史詩(shī)般的故事，但它也可能對(duì)有毒的粉絲發(fā)表評(píng)論。

BBC發(fā)布了《神秘博士》60周年特輯的新預(yù)告，該特輯將于2023年11月播出。特輯由大衛(wèi)·田納特飾演第十四任博士，同時(shí)也標(biāo)志著凱瑟琳·泰特回歸飾演粉絲最愛的同伴唐娜·諾布爾。該劇60周年特輯還將有尼爾·帕特里克·哈里斯飾演的神秘反派，以及雅斯敏·芬尼飾演的羅絲的首次亮相。雖然預(yù)告片預(yù)計(jì)將展現(xiàn)史詩(shī)般的故事情節(jié)，也標(biāo)志著《神秘博士》中一些最默默無聞的角色（比如咪普嗶普）的劇集初登場(chǎng)，但特輯還可以解決另一個(gè)問題：有毒的粉絲圈。

2017年，當(dāng)“扣熊”斯蒂芬·科爾伯特問及當(dāng)初官宣朱迪·惠特克將出任第十三任博士時(shí)受到的強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，田納特答道：“每當(dāng)博士改變外形[重生]，都會(huì)有強(qiáng)烈的反對(duì)，因?yàn)椴┦渴侨藗兿矚g的角色。人們非常喜歡他們熟悉的博士。”隨后，田納特回憶了在2005年官方首度宣布自己將接替克里斯托弗·埃克萊斯[九叔]頓時(shí)遭到強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)的經(jīng)歷：“他們的反應(yīng)基本就是：‘那個(gè)看起來狡猾的家伙是誰(shuí)？哪位啊？我喜歡上一個(gè)家伙！這對(duì)我不管用！這劇對(duì)我來說已經(jīng)死了！我退網(wǎng)了！發(fā)送！’有很多這種情況，而且每次（重生）都有，這是因?yàn)檫@部劇有很多熱情的粉絲?！彪S著田納特回歸出演第十四任博士，在即將播出特輯中解決粉絲圈強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)問題的時(shí)機(jī)已經(jīng)成熟。

現(xiàn)代《神秘博士》中的有毒粉絲圈

Toxic?Fandom?in?Doctor?Who's?Modern?Era

每次有新演員出演這位標(biāo)志性的時(shí)間領(lǐng)主[博士]都會(huì)遭到強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，不同年代的《神秘博士》粉絲都不會(huì)對(duì)此感到陌生。正如田納特簡(jiǎn)要描述的那樣，本劇有著熱情洋溢的粉絲群體，每位粉絲都有自己最愛的博士。因此，粉絲們對(duì)自己產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)烈共鳴的那版[博士]難以釋懷，并且對(duì)新演員出演博士持嚴(yán)厲批評(píng)態(tài)度。?當(dāng)然，這些最初的反應(yīng)往往在觀眾體驗(yàn)新博士第一集時(shí)迅速失效，因?yàn)樾虏┦客ǔ?huì)證明自己一直擁有演繹這一角色所需的演技。

Different?generations?of?Doctor?Who?fans?are?no?strangers?to?backlash?every?time?a?new?actor?is?cast?in?the?role?of?the?iconic?Time?Lord.??As?Tennant?very?succinctly?described,?the?show?has?a?passionate?fanbase,?with?every?fan?having?a?favorite?incarnation?of?the?Doctor.??As?such,?it's?hard?for?fans?to?let?go?of?the?version?of?the?Time?Lord?that?strongly?resonated?with?them,?and?are?known?to?be?harshly?critical?of?new?actors?stepping?into?the?role.??Of?course,?those?initial?reactions?are?often?quickly?invalidated?the?moment?viewers?experience?a?new?Doctor's?first?episode,?often?showcasing?they?always?had?the?acting?chops?the?role?required.

正如田納特接受“扣熊”采訪時(shí)所說，選擇博士這個(gè)角色就是“在合適的時(shí)間找到合適的演員”。更確切的說，他支持克里斯·奇布納爾[CC]讓《小鎮(zhèn)疑云》的搭檔朱迪·惠特克出演第十三任博士。當(dāng)被問及對(duì)惠特克出演的感想，田納特說：“我很高興。她已經(jīng)演了三季《小鎮(zhèn)疑云》，所以我很了解她——她是我的好朋友?！碧锛{特進(jìn)一步解釋說，他想不出比她更適合“加入這個(gè)團(tuán)伙”的人了，而且在她出演這個(gè)角色后，所有對(duì)她的不滿都將變得無關(guān)緊要。雖然《神秘博士》的大多數(shù)粉絲和田納特一樣，都欣然接受惠特克為第一位女博士，但不幸的是，有一小部分聲浪巨大的粉絲在惠特克的整個(gè)任期內(nèi)，都在詆毀她的時(shí)代和她的博士。

As?Tennant?elaborated?in?his?interview?with?Colbert,?casting?the?role?of?the?Doctor?is?about?"finding?the?right?performer?at?the?right?time."??He?even?supported?Chris?Chibnall's?decision?to?cast?his?Broadchurch?co-star?Jodie?Whittaker?as?the?13th?Doctor.??When?asked?about?his?reaction?to?Whittaker's?casting,?Tennant?revealed?"I'm?delighted.??She's?been?on?Broadchurch?for?three?seasons,?so?I?know?her?very?well?--?she's?a?mate?of?mine."??Tennant?further?explained?that?he?couldn't?think?of?someone?better?to?"join?the?gang"?and?that?all?backlash?over?her?casting?would?be?made?irrelevant?after?she?took?on?the?part.??While?the?majority?of?Doctor?Who?fans?along?with?Tennant?embraced?Whittaker?as?the?first?female?Doctor,?unfortunately?a?very?vocal?corner?of?the?fanbase?spent?Whittaker's?entire?tenure?tearing?down?both?her?era?and?her?Doctor.

針對(duì)惠特克的、沒怎么過腦的批評(píng)核心是“覺醒便破產(chǎn)”*的心態(tài)，一些頗有發(fā)言權(quán)的粉絲甚至因演員的性別將第十三任博士貶稱為“凱倫博士”*。2022年5月，當(dāng)舒提·蓋特瓦同樣被宣布為惠特克的繼任者時(shí)，那些反對(duì)惠特克時(shí)代的粉絲們繼續(xù)大聲嘟囔，抱怨BBC如何扼殺《神秘博士》這個(gè)IP。雅斯敏·芬尼飾演第一位跨性別的羅絲*，同樣為這些沒怎么過腦的粉絲們提供了更多的燃料，讓他們的怒火越燒越旺。在他們所有的抱怨中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的主題是，不希望這部劇以一種包容非白人異性戀的順性男性作為博士和非白人同伴的方式發(fā)展。

譯注：

1、“覺醒便破產(chǎn)”（go?woke,?go?broke）據(jù)說是來自暢銷書作家John?Ringo的詞匯，以此表達(dá)“當(dāng)一個(gè)組織‘覺醒’以采取政治正確的行動(dòng)時(shí)，此類行動(dòng)將引致巨大的損失?！?/span>

2、? Karen是一個(gè)貶稱，一般指代自認(rèn)為有權(quán)勢(shì)或要求超出合理或必要范圍外權(quán)利的婦女，通常是金發(fā)的中年白人女性。

示例：Karen?Gillan在某個(gè)粉絲問答里說過：Is?Karen?Gillan?a?Karen??NO!!!!!!

3、? 但如果不只是討論劇集的話，她其實(shí)不是第一位跨性別同伴（前面廣播劇已經(jīng)有Tania和Cleo了），也不是第一位初始生理性別不是女性的Rose（廣播劇里有平行世界的男性版本Rob，登場(chǎng)時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)早于宣布選角的2022年）。

At?the?heart?of?Whittaker's?less?thoughtful?criticism?has?been?the?"go?woke,?go?broke"?mentality,?with?some?vocal?fans?even?referring?to?the?13th?Doctor?as?"Doctor?Karen,"?due?to?the?actor's?gender.??When?Ncuti?Gatwa?was?similarly?announced?as?Whittaker's?successor?in?May?2022,?the?same?vocal?fans?who?objected?to?Whittaker's?era?continued?their?song?and?dance?about?how?the?BBC?was?killing?the?Doctor?Who?franchise?dead.??The?casting?of?Yasmin?Finney?as?the?first?transgender?Rose?similarly?gave?these?less?thoughtful?fans?more?fuel?for?their?ever-raging?fire.??The?recurring?theme?in?all?their?complaints?is?not?wanting?the?show?to?progress?in?a?way?that's?inclusive?of?people?who?are?not?white,?heterosexual?cisgender?men?as?the?Doctor?and?non-white?companions.

《神秘博士》可以如何巧妙應(yīng)對(duì)有毒粉絲圈

How?Doctor?Who?Can?Cleverly?Address?Toxic?Fandom

當(dāng)田納特在《神秘博士：博士之力》的結(jié)尾被正式確認(rèn)為第十四任博士時(shí)，那些多年來反對(duì)惠特克任期的、聲勢(shì)浩大的粉絲，將他的回歸視為一場(chǎng)勝利。對(duì)他們來說，這意味著BBC承認(rèn)惠特克時(shí)代是一個(gè)失敗的實(shí)驗(yàn)，讓田納特回歸是一種恢復(fù)粉絲對(duì)這部劇未來信心的方式。當(dāng)然，田納特本人從來沒有對(duì)這部劇的未來表示過擔(dān)憂，并且由于對(duì)《神秘博士》的熱愛，他還回歸了60周年特輯。他也意識(shí)到自己的回歸將是短暫的，而蓋特瓦是惠特克真正的繼任者。

When?Tennant?was?officially?confirmed?to?be?the?14th?Doctor?at?the?end?of?Doctor?Who:?The?Power?of?the?Doctor,?the?vocal?fans?that?campaigned?against?Whittaker's?tenure?for?years?treated?his?return?as?a?victory.??To?them,?this?was?the?BBC?admitting?the?Whittaker?era?was?a?failed?experiment?and?brought?Tennant?back?as?a?way?of?restoring?fans'?faith?in?the?future?of?the?show.??Of?course,?Tennant?himself?has?never?expressed?concern?about?the?show's?future?and?returned?for?the?60th?Anniversary?specials?due?to?his?love?of?Doctor?Who.??He?also?came?back?to?the?franchise?with?the?awareness?that?his?return?would?be?brief?and?that?Gatwa?is?Whittaker's?true?successor.

盡管如此，回歸的劇集統(tǒng)籌拉塞爾·T·戴維斯[RTD]仍然可以利用田納特的人氣來解決《神秘博士》中的有毒粉絲圈問題，作為慶祝本劇歷史和未來的活動(dòng)的一部分。既然《神秘博士》一直都是向前發(fā)展而不是向后，那么田納特回歸出演第十四任博士就提供了一個(gè)絕佳的機(jī)會(huì)來解釋，為什么這部劇從來沒有為一個(gè)新時(shí)代重新安排一位前任演員*。從60周年紀(jì)念預(yù)告片中所描述的情況來看，第十三任博士并沒有想到會(huì)重生成以前的化身。這導(dǎo)致博士經(jīng)歷了某種身份危機(jī)，有效地證實(shí)了他們的重生出了問題。

譯注：

雖然有分析者抬出了湯姆·貝克[第四任博士]在50周年特輯《博士之日》中出演的館長(zhǎng)（The?Curator），以及最近科林·貝克[第六任博士]在廣播劇里飾演的繼任館長(zhǎng)和平行世界的“第五任博士·戰(zhàn)士”（The?Warrior）來舉例，但作者有提到“一整個(gè)新時(shí)代”，顯然這話是有限定適用范圍的。

Still,?returning?showrunner?Russell?T?Davies?can?still?capitalize?on?Tennant's?popularity?to?address?the?problem?of?toxic?fandom?in?Doctor?Who?as?part?of?celebrating?the?show's?history?and?future.??Since?Doctor?Who?has?always?been?about?moving?forward?not?backward,?Tennant's?return?as?the?14th?Doctor?presents?a?perfect?opportunity?to?establish?why?the?show?has?never?recast?a?previous?actor?for?a?new?era.??From?what's?been?depicted?in?the?60th?Anniversary?trailer,?the?13th?Doctor?did?not?expect?to?regenerate?into?a?previous?incarnation.??This?causes?the?Doctor?to?experience?something?of?an?identity?crisis,?effectively?confirming?that?something?went?wrong?with?their?regeneration.

還需要考慮反派角色。雖然60周年特輯的預(yù)告片沒有確認(rèn)尼爾·帕特里克·哈里斯扮演的是誰(shuí)，但許多線索強(qiáng)烈暗示他是天體玩具匠。這個(gè)特別的惡棍不僅有能力操縱人們對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的感知，而且他也有幼稚行為和致命游戲的傾向。哈里斯扮演的神秘角色在他短暫的出場(chǎng)中已經(jīng)體現(xiàn)了這些特征，這可以很容易地解釋為什么博士會(huì)重生回以前的化身。甚至可以有一些元評(píng)論，關(guān)于這個(gè)惡棍如何相信第十任博士是“最好的化身”，這也可以解釋為什么宇宙突然又圍繞著唐娜轉(zhuǎn)了。

There's?also?the?villain?to?consider.??While?the?60th?Anniversary?trailer?doesn't?confirm?who?Neil?Patrick?Harris?is?playing,?many?of?the?clues?strongly?hint?at?him?being?the?Celestial?Toymaker.??Not?only?does?this?particular?villain?have?the?ability?to?manipulate?a?person's?perception?of?reality,?but?he?also?has?a?proclivity?for?puerile?behavior?and?deadly?games.??Harris'?mysterious?character?already?embodies?some?of?those?traits?in?his?brief?appearance,?which?could?easily?be?used?to?address?why?the?Doctor?regenerated?back?to?a?previous?incarnation.??There?can?even?be?some?meta-commentary?on?how?this?villain?believes?the?10th?Doctor?is?"the?best?incarnation,"?which?could?also?explain?why?the?universe?is?suddenly?revolving?around?Donna?again.

當(dāng)然，不可忽視的是，博士自第十個(gè)化身以來已經(jīng)成長(zhǎng)了很多，而第十三個(gè)化身體現(xiàn)了這種成長(zhǎng)的大部分。第十四任博士是從第十三任重生而來，因而許多第十三任博士的經(jīng)歷在對(duì)他來說記憶猶新。如果解決了這種不尋常重生背后的情況，通過描寫他接受自己不再是第十任并開啟新人生，就可以對(duì)博士的成長(zhǎng)進(jìn)行有意義的討論。他還可以通過承認(rèn)自己必須不斷進(jìn)步、永不倒退來鞏固這一觀點(diǎn)。?這也將為蓋特瓦的第十五任博士創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更有力的過渡。

Of?course,?it?can't?be?ignored?that?the?Doctor?has?grown?a?lot?since?his?10th?incarnation,?with?the?13th?Doctor?embodying?much?of?that?growth.??Since?the?14th?Doctor?is?newly?regenerated?from?that?incarnation,?much?of?the?13th?Doctor's?experiences?are?still?fresh?in?his?memory.??If?the?circumstances?behind?the?unusual?regeneration?are?addressed,?this?is?where?the?Doctor's?growth?can?be?meaningfully?discussed?by?admitting?he's?moved?on?from?the?person?he?was?as?the?10th?Doctor.??He?could?also?solidify?this?point?by?acknowledging?he?must?always?evolve?and?never?regress.??This?would?also?create?a?stronger?transition?to?Gatwa's?15th?Doctor.

雖然不能保證第十四任博士的重生必會(huì)以某些“呼聲甚高”的粉絲不愿接受改變的方式處理，但不這么干將會(huì)嚴(yán)重錯(cuò)失良機(jī)。這一點(diǎn)尤為正確，因?yàn)樘锛{特的回歸緊隨在惠特克的時(shí)代之后，這已經(jīng)為BBC“在特定時(shí)代、被證明有爭(zhēng)議的情況下，如何人為地提高收視率”樹立了一個(gè)不好的先例。不過，這并不是一定要傳達(dá)的信息。通過明確重申為什么《神秘博士》在60周年特輯中必須永遠(yuǎn)擁抱變化，這可以在大大消除粉絲們認(rèn)為過去的時(shí)代是“失敗”的有害觀念。

While?there?is?no?guarantee?the?14th?Doctor's?regeneration?will?be?handled?in?a?way?that?comments?on?some?vocal?fans'?unwillingness?to?accept?change,?not?doing?so?would?be?a?gravely?missed?opportunity.??This?is?especially?true?since?Tennant's?return?is?coming?at?the?heels?of?Whittaker's?era,?and?already?sets?a?bad?precedent?for?how?the?BBC?can?artificially?boost?ratings?if?a?particular?era?proves?controversial.??Still,?this?doesn't?have?to?be?the?message.??By?explicitly?reaffirming?why?Doctor?Who?must?always?embrace?change?in?the?60th?Anniversary?specials,?this?could?go?a?long?way?to?invalidate?any?toxic?fan?belief?that?a?past?era?was?a?"failure."
