First Doctor Who set pictures with ~new companion~.

[The Tomtrek]

So the first set pictures of The Doctor and his fancy new companion have come out and here they are in a thread for you to look at.

LOOK HERE SHE IS (called 'Clara' apparently):


NEW CLOTHES FOR THE DOCTOR???


With ~sexy glasses~.

Just a shame the episodes won't come out for another 10,000 years!

 

[Cassie]

Matt Smith is hot.

 

[Tisiphone]

Cassie....nooooooooo!!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

So these episodes are after Christmas as she first appears in the Christmas special, right?

Exceptional tailoring in that second pic.

Good luck replicating that, cosplayers!

 

[curiousa2z]

it's hard for me to muster up sufficient excitement anymore.THEY'VE DRAINED THE CARING OUT OF ME.

Sorry.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Fair enough. It can be a bit difficult to get excited when there's yet another cast change. I know it only happens once every two years or so, but it kinda makes you wonder what the point is in investing anything in a character when they'll be disappearing so quickly. It'd be ok if companions returned occasionally so we could find out how their lives were going, but they don't tend to.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I will always be excited for Doctor Who.

Always.

 

[Cassie]

Amy Pond was the HOTTEST companion.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I'm excited about the adventures and the Doctor, just feeling less inclined to get attached to another companion who'll leave just as we've started to really like her.

 

[curiousa2z]

I know, eh?!

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'm sure it'll be fun. My only "concern" would be the story arc was getting a bit...convoluted. And I'd had enough with River Song.

I'll miss the Ponds but "Clara" could be good!

 

[Tisiphone]

I agree with Wacky. The River Song character/storyline was just too much WTF for me, so I stopped watching.

Guess I'm still attached to the previous song and the fun he and Donna Noble had. Just a couple of best friends roaming around the universe.

You can see the next companion limbering up behind him in the third picture.

 

[The Tomtrek]

I honestly can't think of a companion that I thought left before their time.

Well, maybe Ace, but that's because the show was cancelled.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Poor Martha.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I wasn't that fussed about Martha or Donna, but it would be nice if they showed up occasionally, rather than just having the odd reference to them now and again "oh yeah, I used to know a black girl...", "the victim was ginger eh? Ginger's one of my favourite colours. After Rose..." as if the Doc's cut off all ties with them.

I know that seems to be Moffat's attitude to RTD's stuff, which is understandable, but it doesn't create much faith that we'll ever see Amy Pond or Rory Bignose again after Clara shows up!

 

[whisky]

Its kind of the way it used to be though, back in the old days once a companion was gone, the next time you saw them it was either a multi Doctor team up, or a series of flashbacks on his deathbed.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I mostly liked Martha for shallow reasons, but she never really had a chance coming after ROSE and having ROSE referenced in every episode, and falling in love with the Doctor like ROSE. Plus Freema, bless her, wasn't exactly the best actress in the world (but she's improved now?)

 

[MamaKitty]

Hopefully she is better then Amy Pond.
