ohmygosh, Zoe Wanamaker and Cassandra look a lot alike! I don't know anything about Zoe Wanamaker but just by looking at her photo, she might make a good 'n quirky Doctor :)

I like Colin Morgan but he plays a major role in Humans and I want him to continue playing the role so I'm crossing him off the list lol.

Zoe Wanamaker played Cassandra.

I did like Colin Morgan in Dr. Who 'Midnight'.

Doctor Who gets first openly gay companion - BBC News

I'm going to agree with Pearl Mackie, it really should not be a big deal. But, also, I think it's great when young people get to see a hero character that they identify with.

I had originally heard Pearl was only there for this one season...which seems such a waste....everyone is leaving and they are starting fresh next year, so people working in the show as well as fans may not want to fully invest themselves in it. But now, I wonder if she is staying and a gay female companion is "needed" to have a female Doctor. That this is all about getting the sexual tension back. I hope not. Part of what I've loved about Capaldi and Coleman was there wasn't that sexual tension.

Are y'all watching? I kinda didn't think I'd like Pearl Mackie/Bill but I love her! Her personality is a bit like Donna's (Donna is my favorite new seasons' companion.) Mackie and Capaldi are perfect together. I even like Capaldi better this season because they're so good together. I wasn't much of a Jenna Coleman fan.

Are y'all watching the spinoff Class? I'm watching it but I'm not sure what I think about it yet.

So far, so good. She has a very likable screen presence, very upbeat.

Haven't watched Class so can't weigh in on that one.

Enjoying the new companion/Pearl Mackie. New aspects to the series
Things like why are the seats so far away from the control panel?
. Energetic.
Just could not get into Class.

lol Spidey...
I've been waiting for a companion to mention something about the seats or sometimes the lack of. I don't think Tom Baker's TARDIS had any seats at all, whenever there was turbulence, the Doctor and his companions would stumble around and fall on the floor. He did have a nice coatrack though lol.

Another thing I've always wondered about is the TARDIS door. Most of the time, when the door is opened from the inside, both sides of the door have that pie plate pattern. Only once in a while has the door had windows and been blue on both sides.

All good catches. I loved the Baker series. Is my favorite. Remember K-9?

I like both of them. But the writing seems lacking this season. Doesn't really surprise me, since it's apparently a complete reboot for next year. I guess if next season is not written etc., they could keep Bill as the companion, assuming she remains popular.

We were watching Class. Lost interest I guess.
