re: #222 The War TARDIS

Considering that it was Matt Smith’s run that tore me out of a depression, this is going to have a disproportionately nasty effect on me.

Peter Capaldi has shoes to fill. I don’t doubt he will. Jenna Coleman has been a joy in her part as Clara. Hopefully, she will stay a while. However, I would love if Juliet Landau, who plays Romana on the Audio Stories right now, joins as a second Companion. Let’s have the Doctor and 2 Genius Women companions

At this point, it’s a really safe bet that the Doctor and Clara are more than friends. 80%+ of my friends are women, and I have never kissed them on the cheek or forehead, caressed their faces, or any of the touchy-feeling stuff the Doctor and Clara do. I hug, occasionally from behind, but I would feel massively uncomfortable doing just about everything else. Except holding hands.

I’m still in the middle of watching Season 6, so I’ve not reached Clara’s run yet. Most exposure I’ve had of her has been in The Day of the Doctor. Though the longer I go along, the more I understand why fans were justifiably pissed by how Amy and Rory were written out of the series. No offense to Davies and Moffat, but they have been rather cruel to companions since the series restarted.
