I haven't caught up with the pile of stuff on my DVR yet, and I'm definitely out of the loop on Doctor Who gossip, but there was one going around that Clara would exit in the near future. Pretty sure that was dismissed as rumors by TPTB, but they're lying liars who lie for a living.

I still haven't watched the last two series and keep debating on catching up since I've got time now. I never really cared for Amy, did like what I saw of Rory, and didn't like River Song since her first appearance with Ten. All of which seems to be things that brought the show to a new level of popularity. This is pretty normal for me, to be honest. I like a show and it finally hits the mainstream about the time I lose interest. But it's obvious a lot of characters and concepts from those two seasons will be used a lot, and very little if any from the RTD era (i.e. Jack), so I feel like doing some sort of catch up to understand the current state of the show.

My understanding is there will be other companions, but I don't know if they'll be regular or

I was thinking after I posted that, and decided it was a little harsh on the actress. Coleman is doing the best with what she's been given, too, which is a character that really and fr realz should have been named Mary Sue. Clara's perfection and absolute necessity as a companion makes River Song look like a regular, hardworking gal we can all identify with. If Jenna Louise Coleman were the character, she'd pass scenery chewing and dive right into what my mother calls "half-bulimia:" binging with no purging (or, the reason she and I both weigh too much ( ... )

I never thought I'd miss RTD, but Moffat's era is too focused on creating mysterious arcs that just don't interest me. RTD had a sense of the crazy weirdness of the original series, Moffat takes himself and the show way too serious ( ... )

I think napping from pain meds is better than the alternative, but I'm a bit of a wuss.
