re: #225 The War TARDIS

Unfortunately, Moffat was stuck with a shit Turkey.

Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill said they wanted their characters written out so that they wouldn’t come back. Thing is, they are still big supporters of Doctor Who otherwise.

It just distresses me, the finality that companions have been written out of the series in recent years. I think only Martha managed to get away with just being given a good life, rather than kicked into a closet and the door locked and barred behind her. Rose was dropped on a parallel Earth with a consolation-prize Doctor, Donna pretty much had her soul ripped out of her, and Amy and Rory only have gravestones to mark that they were even there. I’m beginning to worry about what they’ve got in store for Clara.
