Well, she sure is pretty
Karen Gillan to play Matt Smith's Doctor's Assistant
- Thread starter Dac
- Start date
Have to see what her acting is like, but at least she'll do in the eye candy role.
I like this quote from the Moff

Moffat is the best thing to ever happen to this show. God bless you sir for casting such a lovely girl
Boy, what a disappointment! Sure, she's good looking but with a young (and even younger looking Doctor) I was hoping for an odd paring, an older companion or even a male one (remember those, BBC!!).
They'll look cute on T-Shirts and posters, seems that's all the Beeb are worried about these days. Cute couples are fine in other shows, Doctor Who should be quirkey, unusual and that starts with the Doctor and his companion.

...personally, I'll wait until she's at least said a line of dialogue before I express disappointment or elation, but maybe that's me.
You and your crazy talk, it'll get you locked up one of these days.
I'm not questioning her acting ability or the character's likeability but rather the choice to pair the youngest Doctor with one of the youngest companions. There was an opportunity to do something different dramatically that we haven't seen yet in NuWho but they've taken the obvious route.
We don't know that.
She's a chick with a dick and in the xmas special she pegs the doctor over the console.
She could be an alien, she could be a slave girl, she could be anything, just assuming she's "the youngest companion to go with the youngest doctor" may turn out to be true, but right now it's just an assumption
Come on - she will be from modern day england and will fall in love with the doctor. The target audience don't care that it's the same old beats so why change a winning formula?
Possibly. Who knows. I'm certainly not going to complain about her, her backstory, him, or the show until I actually get a chance to see it and judge it for what happens.
1.) The winning formula of Doctor Who is change.
2.) Despite what some bitter older people might think, young people are not, as a rule, idiots.
I know. Never actually seen an episode in my life. I just like to come here and watch you nerds in your natural environment.
No, it'll by modern-day Scottish girl.
