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 don't even really have an issue with Sophia Myles or Reinette herself, but I think bringing back Reinette specifically would be awkward because of how GITF ended and also because I think a real historical figure being a companion long-term would be strange. But I wouldn't mind Sophia Myles. I think my preference is for a fresh face, but Sophia's fine. AND EITHER IS PREFERABLE TO BEN BOWDER AS JACK 2.0 like ONTD was suggesting yesterday.

They said something a while ago about her being from the "place you'd least expect" or whatever so I think she might not be an Earth girl this time. Which... is fine, I guess, although I don't really have a problem with 21st century Earth girls either so w/e. I would love for her to not be white, but I don't know how likely it is. I feel like they kind of operate on the Disney princess model, ie "well we already had one woman of colour so we're set for the next few rounds, right?"
