Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
Is it definitely confirmed that she'll be in episodes after this one, or could this have been an elaborate casting foiler?
Me, the only way I'd like to see her back is if she somehow survived as a skinjob Dalek like the ones we saw at the beginning of the episode. A Dalek as a companion would sure as hell be something new.
Mary-Sue in terms of the character doesn’t have any flaws, and the audience has to be told how perfect she is instead of shown
You don't think being a Dalek is a flaw? And even if you don't mind the Dalek thing, the things she'd accomplished don't count as showing? How many more ways does one need to save the Doctor from his mortalest enemies in order to "show"?
I don't think that anyone's seen the Christmas episode in the wild yet, so it can't be more definitely confirmed past "they said so."
Jon, I would not be surprised if the next time she shows up, it takes a lot of the episode for the Doctor to find out her name.
Anne, I think that's too much trolling, even for Moffat, but I agree with your second point.
Is it definitely confirmed that she'll be in episodes after this one, or could this have been an elaborate casting foiler?
She's definitely the new companion, and has been seen filming on location. That character's first "official" appearance will be in the Christmas Special. The rumour was that the new companion is called Clara.
I'm sure Moffat will find a way to tie everything in together, with or without wibbly-wobblyness. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the ride.
What was the line? "Give me a Dalek any day"? I see what you did there, Toby Whithouse.
Oh. Heh. I didn't even think about that.
What did he do there?
Our current best information indicates that the next companion is a Dalek..well, more or less...or something...
I may, of course, be reading into it, but I can believe it of this show.
Oh yeah.
Although, I read it as him saying that the Daleks are his most favorite Who villain ever - no matter how sick of them everyone else is.
So, Amanda Tapping on Supernatural, playing the angel Naomi for a few episodes.
