BBC LIKES TO TROLL US. IT FEEDS OFF THE ENERGY LIKE A TROLL VAMPIRE.

But otherwise. LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN.

What will her character be like.

I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed that they went for 'white, conventionally attractive woman' again, but otherwise I am cautiously optimistic, especially if the speculation that she might not be an Earth girl is true.

True, whatever happened to diversity?

I actually rather hoped for Jack/ a male companion. Eleven does bromances so well. :(

I really wanted it to be Canton, unfeasible as it was. And I agree about the bromancing--I feel like the potential for it between Eleven and Rory was largely wasted (god, the beginning of "Space" was so glorious). But realistically, the (main? first?) companion is always going to be female.

Doctor Who can do multiple companion teams with male companions in it, but I don't think they'll ever really do a lone male companion with the Doctor.
I keep hoping they'll pick up a male companion after we've had some time to get to know this girl, because I do love multiple companion teams.

Is it...is it bad and horribly shallow that I want to like her almost solely because I have similar names to her? :X

Anyway, she looks cute and I was planning on rewatching Captain America soon for other reasons, so that's a bonus. I wonder if she knows how much her life is about to change. It must be overwhelming.

Srsly- she's the same age as me, and my brain's already going- 'WOO!'

I CAN'T GET OVER THE CAPTAIN AMERICA THING BECAUSE OF OUR BOND FEELS. I HAVE SO MANY FEELS RN, I CANNOT EVEN.

Maybe include the series airing info all up this post as well, as it's news?

BRB PREPARING GIF PARTY...

I was doing that while you commented. I AM FEELING THE STRESS OF JOURNALISM.
As I said on Twitter, I probably should have let my media professors groom me for journalism after all. ;)

I am laughing so hard over the Captain America thing. Our lives are full of such weird coincidences these days, it's starting to creep me out. At least now there's a bridge between Matt Smith and Chris Evans that makes our James Bond and Felix Leiter ideas more legit.

IT IS OUR DENSITY... TO HAVE ALL THE FEELS.

IDEK, but I am at once creeped and elated by it all. But so legit I can't even stand it.

And she's pretty. Watch the shippers set sail...

I ONLY SHIP HER WITH ME. #Imeanwhat

Seriously though, this shit is getting weird. It's all coming together. Our dreams are becoming reality. I fear what that means for things like...erm, tonight's ~concept.

NGL My first reaction was actually "This makes me miss Confidential".

YES. Long before Amy and Rory were even rumoured to be leaving, I always knew I wanted to see Matt bonding with a new companion behind the scenes.
And now we don't get that. Or the adorable production crew. *pout*

Or adorable behind-the-scenes with the cast. :((((((((
