new Doctor Who companion unveiled

[Artemis@BC]

Just stumbled upon this on the Space site: interview with John Barrowman.

No Torchwood news but still a good interview.

Be sure to watch ep 5 of "Pond Life" -- the others were just fun, but this one is actually prequelly.

It certainly was

OK I tried the spoiler box and it didn't work for those - but it's kinda funny. So I left it.

ETA: AGGHH.... almost here!

I loved it ! Classic Daleks ?

Oswin was played by Jenna-Louise Coleman who is the new companion after the Ponds leave. How is THAT gonna work? Will the new companion be an ancestor, a twin sister, a Tesselecta, does the Doctor go back to the past to find her because he likes her so much???

... and HOW did they keep her appearance in episode one a secret???

"Doctor...Who?"

(Though, honestly, it's getting hard to do anything with the Daleks otherwise because HOW many times have they been totally wiped out? In the new series alone? Never mind Classic Who.)

"Save Us" !
It was quite funny instead of the EXTERRRRRRRMINATE we usually have

I'm seriously impressed that the show managed to keep that under wraps.

And I think it would be incredibly cool for the Doctor to have a converted Dalek who still thinks she's human as a companion. That would make all the "The Doctor's never met anyone like her before!" hype true for once. (I know it can't happen, but it sure would be different.)

I really liked the episode, but I've come to realize that I do not care one whit about Amy and Rory's relationship and I'm not going to miss any of it when they're gone.

I like that what they've done here, is basically rebooted the whole Doctor-Dalek relationship - from the Daleks perspective at least. It lets Moffat do all kinds of new/old things with them.

I also wonder if the Dalek will figure in some kind of series arc. After all, if she's a genius too, she may have figured out a way to get her Dalek self off the planet.

Ok, just started a new thread for Season 7. Might I respectfully suggest we move over there ... unless you really do have something specific to the new companion and not the new season in general.

I'm not really OCD ...
