New Companion Announced!

[The Scarf]

On a more serious note, I think she'd look great as a Silurian.  If we don't get some kind of twist with her character, I'll feel like Moffet is trying to have his own Rose.  That's not a criticism of Rose, but rather a hope for innovation over repetition.

a lot of fans are complaining about her being a young, pretty, white girl, again.  I think Moff proved with the casting of Matt Smith (another young Doctor) that casting a good actor is top priority, not contrast for it's own sake. He knows what he's doing.

I'll feel like Moffet is trying to have his own Rose.  That's not a criticism of Rose, but rather a hope for innovation over repetition.

Rose was a popular companion, plus all the companions since have no been like her. Martha although falling for  the Doctor was more independent, Donna was independent and treated the Doctor as a friend, and Amy, well Amy was just Amy but definitely not Rose. It's been 5 years since we're had Rose so going back to a similar style companion isn't the end of the world, not that much of repetition.

I wouldn't have drawn the she's like Rose comparison from the publicity shots, I've not seen her act not seen anything of what her companion is supposed to be like from publicity. I'm sure Moffat has picked her for the right reason, I'll just have to wait till the end of the year when more will come out.
