Can't watch that prologue in the US. Found an entertainment weekly article with it embedded the was playable here, but already got out of it.

Who do we think they are talking about?

I really don't understand the hate she gets. I think it's because she's a smokin hottie.

Her and Amy/Rory are real close for me.

I also loved Donna Nobme I thought she was Tennant's best companion.

There hasn't been one in the new series that I just hated.

Sorry. Added another link to OP.

Based on the setting, pre-Missy Master.

I really think some of it is just that she's not Amy.

Another part seems to be that she gets criticised for being 'too important' to the story. People don't want to criticise Moffat so they attack Clara instead.

I loved Rory. Couldn't stand Amy.

Agreed.

Who is this Morbius fellow im reading about? A lot of people seem to think its him, apparently because he was the enemy the last time this Karn lady showed up.

I'm not big on old who, so I miss a lot. Guess I should spend some time looking at Tardis Data Core.

Evil Time Lord. Was executed on Karn and then resurrected in a Frankenstein way. Beaten again by Fourth Doctor. (Thank you Horror Channel reruns)

Last time she showed up was 'Night of the Doctor' (the prequel to the 50th with McGann as 8).

A second prequel vid has been released.

Also, don't read the Radio Times. They've spoiled the first few episodes.




SPOILERS











Jenna Coleman is leaving after this season. We all knew this would happen, but it's still annoying, as I really like Clara and think Jenna's the best actress the show's had as a companion.


Also, she's a lighter-skinned and shorter-haired version of my fiancee (looks-wise), so there's that.

My body is ready. My one fear is that I'll be so drunk after the LSU-Auburn game that I won't be able to follow the show. That happened a couple of times last season.

I just hope the next companion isn't a great looking young woman from the present day U.K. We need a little change of pace.

Oh, and I think they're going to air the prologue video on BBC America tonight. They're also re-airing a bunch of classic Fourth Doctor episodes including "Genesis of the Daleks" and "The Brain of Morbius"
The fact that they're airing those two is interesting. There's been some online chatter that characters from both of those episodes could be significant this season.

Reddit is convinced that Morbius is the character referenced in the first prologue.

And, im fine with a non model-type companion, but I really disliked Donna, so I don't want a middle-aged one either.

ETA: We should really have a spinoff thread ranking the companions' companions.

Rory
Donna's Dad
Mickey
Danny

Ill do old Who later.

I couldn't stand her. I think it's the actress... hated her in the office as well. Just grates on my nerves.

Didn't much care for Rose, either.

Donna was actually my favorite Tennant companion.

I thought they had fantastic chemistry.

I'd rank the companions (New Who) thusly:

Amy/Rory
Donna Noble
Clara
Craig
Donna's Dad
Martha Jones
Handles







Rose

Donna's Granddad



FTFY. The actor who played Donna's dad died between Donna's Christmas Special and 'Partners in Crime'. Wilf (Donna's grandad) was originally only going to be in the Titanic Christmas Special and originally had nothing to do with Donna.

Wilf Mott
Mickey Smith
Captain Jack Harkness
Amy Pond
Rory Williams
Clara Oswald
Martha Jones
Danny Pink

I really would like to see Captain Jack come back, maybe with Martha and Mickey, being that they're working for Torchwood.

I can't believe I forgot Captain Jack! He'd definitely be near the top.

Also, yall are sleeping on Handles. He was the best.
