she might also like to do a lot of waiting  
So apparently they're announcing the new companion tomorrow! And she (!) is "pretty" but "not a household name" (yet).

I think we've seen enough of these now that we can probably write this press release ourselves, Mad Lib style.

I PREDICT SHE WILL BE:
  • 20-something
  • white
  • English
  • "sassy"/"feisty"/"headstrong"/a "challenge" for the Doctor
  • she will not idolize him! unlike every predecessor apparently did!
  • "independent"
  • "brave"
  • "flirty" and/or "sexy" and/or "hot"
  • THE BEST COMPANION YET


Have I missed anything?

ETA: Opal made me a bingo card!



AWW YEAHHH

I NEED A DICTIONARY OF WHO WOMEN

NOT LIKE, A DICTIONARY OF THEIR CHARACTERS, BUT WHO HATES THEM AND WHY
Kali_thirty2flavors on March 20th, 2012 06:11 pm (UTC)
THE SHORT ANSWER IS ALL OF THEM ARE HATED AND MAINLY IT IS RELATED TO DAVID TENNANT AND/OR DAVID TENNANT'S CHARACTER BONING AND/OR WANTING TO BONE THEM

WHEN IN DOUBT JUST ASSUME THAT IS THE ANSWER

POOR ELEVEN

LOL PEOPLE LOVE HIM BUT I MOSTLY DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH THEM TBQH

lol no but he's dating Daisy Lowe? so sometimes you get ~Matt/Karen~ shippers who like tweet shit at Daisy Lowe lmao. but Daisy herself is otherwise unconnected to Doctor Who.

meanwhile poor Georgia Moffett, if people aren't writing creepy second-person RPF about her husband they are writing angsty drabbles about him and BIllie Piper's forbidden love or his torrid affair with Catherine Tate

I have such a huge girl crush on Karen Gillan and I've never bothered to watch her on DW. I hope she is a great person and it is actually warranted.

I had to google Daisy Lowe and she looks like a huge hipster. I'm sure she and Matt Smith are lovely together.
Kali: dw :: amy :: i've got your back_thirty2flavors on March 20th, 2012 06:34 pm (UTC)
Karen Gillan is great as far as I can tell. Of the new crew she is my favourite, v excitable and enthusiastic and seems friendly and stuff.

I kind of like Matt and Daisy together just because they're so ludicrous, king and queen of the hipsters, etc. If you look at pictures of them together it's like, no one else would leave the house with someone looking like that so they ~belong lololol

SHE IS BOTH PRETTY AND NOT A HOUSEHOLD NAME SO

*buts in* I think them saying "not a household name" indicates that it won't be Sophia Myles, because she kind of is (way more than Matt Smith was when he got hired). However, this is not to say that I don't think she won't appear in an episode or two because I totally think that she will. And if she doesn't make out with whoever the new companion is, I am going to be so disappointed. :(
Kali_thirty2flavors on March 20th, 2012 06:04 pm (UTC)
I don't really have a gauge on who is or isn't a household name in the UK so I don't really know, but I'd had the impression Sophia Myles was the kind of person known to like... people on the internet but not much else.

Like yesterday I saw an article about how it is OBVIOUSLY going to be Ben Bowder (lol) because YOU WOULDN'T HIRE SOMEONE AS FAAAAAAAAMOUS AS HIM for just a one-off episode! And I was like 'lol your definition of famous, internet'.
MV: DW - are you high?mrv3000 on March 20th, 2012 06:06 pm (UTC)
Also that logic doesn't make much sense. It'd be more expensive to keep someone more well known, so you use them as a one-off.
Kali_thirty2flavors on March 20th, 2012 06:10 pm (UTC)
Yep. And I mean this is a show that has had people like Michael Gambon as one-offs. I am pretty sure Michael Gambon > Ben Bowder. I don't even know who Ben Bowder is and I am vaguely aware of sci-fi interneting.
demented & sad, but socialpapilio_luna on March 20th, 2012 06:07 pm (UTC)
Well, Sophia Myles was on Spooks for a series, and she had a show here in the US (Moonlight) and she pops up quite a bit in various things. She's not like David Tennant Famous but she's fairly well-known.

lol omg my flounce would be able to be seen from space if Ben Browder was the new companion. Actually, is it still a flounce if you're roaring with laughter the entire time you're doing it?

You know I sort of recognized the actress when I saw her, and then I IMDBed her and realized that she's been in a few things I've seen (lol at the amount of effort I've put in). I was about to say that I'd never heard of Moonlight, but I just realized that's the show with JASON DOHRING. Oh, Logan ...
sherrilina: Ten (Doctor Who)sherrilina on March 20th, 2012 11:11 pm (UTC)
Mm IDK, she's been on several UK shows (Spooks as well as DW), starred in Moonlight, and also had a role in Underworld (the first movie at least)...I mean, not a household name in the big sense, but I feel like she porbably is known pretty well in Britain...I mean when the same actors appear on all the shows over there you'd think they'd know them, right? :p

I feel like they probably mean someone nobody has heard of, like Karen Gillian was...

(Although if Sphia Myles came back as a different person besides Reinette, a la Amy, Martha, and Gwen, I wouldn't mind, since I do really like Sophia Myles, even if she suffered terrible writing in GiTF).
Nichothodes Koryfoidesplacebetween on March 20th, 2012 06:07 pm (UTC)
Is she into girls? THIS GETS MORE AND MORE AWESOME
