Well, for a start, Doctor Who has been back on tv for like 6 years now, and that story is about a movie thats being made about the guy who created Doctor Who, not actually a Doctor Who movie.

To be fair, Season 7 has been confirmed;



Rumoured to be airing around the 23~25th of August... so not long...

Hmm. The lower half of her legs are a bit skinny. Needs to work on her calf muscles but apart from that she's not bad at all.

New Doctor Who companion unveiled - Jenna-Louise Coleman

edit: ^^ what. She seems like one of those beauty pageant girls who just churns out old and cliche answers to interview questions.what the hell was with scooter's video? Felt like I was watching westworld or cowboys vs aliens?

He is the time travelling doctor, can kind of go anywhere remember, with all sorts of weird stuff happening.

I'm actually starting to like Matt Smith as the Doctor. He kind of grows on you, though I was quite resistant to begin with, as you can never replace David Tennant. The last season was spectacular, with amazing writing for the story and events to wind up how they were.

Seeing Amy Pond go will be sad, she was quite a good companion though I think Rory stole a lot of her time when he was introduced, especially when he became a Spartan. This new companion seems...interesting, will just have to wait and see how she acts I guess.

Also here is a nawww video

Needs more David Tenant.

That was friggin awesome as usual. Really starting to like Matt Smith as The Doctor, though obviously Tennant will always be my favourite. Spoiler:
The new "companion" was actually that Dalek mastermind, so that kind of confuses me as to how she could be the next companion, unless she gets rescued or something.
Can't wait for more, be good to see the dinosaur in space one.

Time is a big ball of wibbley wobbly timey-wimey . . . . stuff.

So obviously he just goes back in time and meets her somewhere and saves her.

A wizard did it, basically the same way everything happens in Dr Who.

Wizards, Dalek and Cybermen. I want to see a wizard in Doctor Who actually, would be interesting...

Awesome ep, also some shorts as a prequel on the official site and youtubes "Pond Life" 5 parts about 1min each.

I think it's about time he had a new companion, really

I read somewhere ages ago (cant remember where) about continuing seasons and Matt Smith is signed on for this and another, next one has new companion who is meant to carry over to another Doctor by the season after.

So is it worth downloading and watching the seasons with Matt Smith? To get up to date then watch this one? How many are there?

Two seasons with Matt Smith, and I'd say they are worth it. He has his own spin on The Doctor, where he'll have a surprise ending that you don't see coming. I like him, he has grown on me when I initially was quite distant of wanting someone besides David Tennant.

I'm thinking this new companion will come into play by being either rescued by how Whoop said, or he'll somehow get her from the alternate universe or something.

where he'll have a surprise ending that you don't see coming.

Except they're not really his endings, he doesn't write the story :)

For the record, I saw the ending to this one coming a mile away.

yeah i thought she looked familiar, then i realised she's his next companion. i wonder how he saves her.

He doesn't have to save her. He might meet her in her past before he meets her in the Asylum of the Daleks. Though it would seem odd that she didn't recognise him. Or perhaps less likely she plays another character. It's not like they haven't done that sort of thing before just not in the new series Colin Baker played Commander Maxil and the 6th incarnation of the Doctor.

or it'll turn out he transported her (as a dalek) off the asylum & stuck her in the teselector, dalek & all.

stranger things have happened khel, he "saved" river song by downloading her into his screwdriver, then uploading her into the library computer or some such nonsense. Like this:


We should start a pool on this.

My guesses are (as previously stated):
A) He does that magical staring into the untempered schism thing and remembers her back to life / pulls a doctor-donna & recreates her from a small part of her DNA he stole
B) Teselector.

i liked this persons idea

Spoiler:
So looking back at the episode there were two points hinting at something else: She says 'Remember' to to him twice in their last exchange: "Remember me", then "Run you clever boy, and remember", with a turn and a knowing look/smile at the camera.

Ok, so what can we make from that? Well...the Doctor took off his wristband so although the Dalek nanobots apparently couldn't change him, they should still have infected him.
Now I understand the Christmas ep, when Clara joins him, has been described as a 'Ghost Story'?
If so then maybe Oswin was able to transfer her conciousness and info on her human genetics into those bots idling within the Doctor, and the Christmas Ghost will be Oswin getting the the Doctor to figure that out and have him somehow regenerate her human body ("Save me boy, and show me the stars")

I'd say the Amy-Baby link thing is significant.. Since it was a pretty awkward scene on its merits.. OMG DIVORCE then TEARS then I LOVE YOU RORY AGAIN thingo.. must have some significance :)

fyi I was kidding, but if that's actually how this goes down, I'm buying a lottery ticket because I can see the future

how much emphasis they put on Amy and Rory being unable to give birth

I would bloody hope rory was unable to give birth. haha

I love random posts ^^

there's a christmas episode in december and then it wont be back until sometime next year.

how dare they come back with a season of only ~5 episodes then go on hiatus!

No more Ponds right? The angels got them?

Yeh the Ponds are out now.
Spoiler:
new companion chick is the one who found out she was turned into a dalek on the prison planet

Smith is OK, at least he doesn't ruin it. I still miss Tennant, he's like the Baker of our times, unsure if he can be topped now.

Also is it just me or is the doctor gradually trending younger with every reincarnation? :)

It made no sense to me why he couldn't just go back and visit them in the past and continue on their merry adventures. Though I don't really get the rules if there any, I'm not a huge Doctor Who fan despite the avatar.

Yeah the Tardis thing can't land there anymore, and if he forces it then it'll tear the universe apart.

I know they live out their days together and all that, but it's essentially them being killed off. Lame way to go. And it was after the Doctor had said "never them!" to the father and all.

Should've just had them decide to live normal lives, sad writing for the sake of sad is bad.

Rivers vortex manipulator could get her through so he could have used that. So many plot holes in that episode you could drive a fleet of trucks through.

My rule with doctor who has had to have been not to question anything, just roll with it, and skip half of the episodes involving latex monsters.

Thread necromancy GO!

Just saw the Christmas episode. Not really that impressed to be honest. If he's determined to spend his days in isolation, why is he sitting on a cloud above earth? Why not just go park the tardis on an uninhabitable planet?

Super snow mirrors the thoughts of whoever is strongest in the area? Wouldn't that mean anyone who is alone and thinking about something would have their thoughts mirrored? Why only that one boy and Oswin? Straxx (or whatever his name is) is always talking about war & stuff, why didn't the snowmen give him one?

so.many.plot.holes.

Its salty tears of an entire family crying on christmas!
Jesus this show is f*****g stupid sometimes (all the time)

Well that was a weird episode. Major spoilers below for anyone that hasn't watched the Christmas episode. Definitely one of the more criss-cross episodes than usual.

I think there are two possible reasons for this new companion:

She is the embodiment of a Dalek, and can therefore travel through time and space upon her will. In the first episode we met her, she was inside a Dalek body and the Doctor never actually saw her. In this one she is in an actual body, and same with the third one shown at the end. Either her being a Dalek is allowed her to move through time and space at will (Dalek never seem to cease) or;

She is just a voice, travelling through bodies. She is able to go through time at will and this episode kind of pointed at that with the Doctor exclaiming something about her voice and how it was the same both times. This would allow her to be at both points in time and also able to utter the same words.

Or it could just be all blamed on Moffat.

Everyone's hoping it'll be something awesome, I'm not getting my hopes up too high. It's the same kind of story like with Donna.

Donna was drawn to the TARDIS (runaway bride) then the doctor left her behind and a little while later she was "drawn back to him" i.e. she parked her car right next to where he landed. Then when she touched his hand and the 2nd doctor grew he said something all through time & space was drawing them together and she was the most important person in the universe.

Next doctor comes along and Amy's house has a crack in the wall, long story short something drew the TARDIS to Amy's time and blew it up, causing the crack, doctor says Amy is the most important person in the universe.

New girl shows up, somehow as a air hostess or something turned Dalek, now as a bar wench / governess and he thinks she's the most important girl in the universe

see where this is going?

S***'s getting old yo. Whatever happened to the good old days when the companions were just people? People who wandered into the box by mistake or people who needed rescuing from something, saw how awesome s*** was so decided to stay for a bit. Now it's like he needs an excuse to have these people around him. Oh they're here because they're somehow important. They can't just be there for the fun of it, oh no! They're somehow important to the story.

They should start calling it Companion Who, since it seems to be more about them now than the doctor.

he never said she was the most important person in the universe. he just thought it was impossible for the exact same person to exist in different times so he's gone off to find her.

having a mystery surrounding the female companions is moffats sort of thing.

Quick, I have to rush and tell the internet how completely unrealistic this story of a thousand year old alien who travels through time and space in a telephone box is!

Just enjoy it for what it is, this is already starting to sound like the Walking Dead thread all over again =/

I thought it was a fun episode, a bit on the corny side, but the christmas specials are nearly always a bit on the corny side.

like most of us do with all of the television shows we watch?
