I totally understand she was supposed to be 15, and was stated as such, I just think the writing most of the time was too young/immature for her to be 15, with the experiences she had
Jenna is Going
- Thread starter Atticus
- Start date
Not unreasonable. Re-watching TUC, her dialogue does seem to fit someone younger many times with or without her experience as a time traveler.
Barbara might not know that she is wrong.
A friend of mine had four 27th birthday parties in a row before he finally felt ready to deal with his 28th.
In an audio, which does not count of course, a Companion Chronicle read by Carol Anne, said that Susan found it amusing how Ian and Barbara treated her like a child when she was easily older than then both of them put together.
If they really wanted to really work the alieness, in the 5 Doctors, Susan should have said that it was 3 or 4 hundred years since she last say her grandfather.
Timelord puberty.
The novelization of the 5 Doctors talked about Susan's children.
There is can't be any scarcity problems on Gallifrey if cites twelve times the size of Gallifrey can take up the space of a broom closet on the surface of Gallifrey.
But if Time Lord Physiology is the result of, or helped or bolstered by genetic engineering, they must have foreseen the problems of hundreds of children sired by each Time Lore across the span of a couple thousand years to them socially even if there resources did stretch.
Puberty would have been delayed, or menopause would have been accellerated, or both.

The next companion will be that guy from the Pompeii episode as played by Peter Capaldi.
Peter Capaldi as Doctor and companion? Well, it's original, I guess.
Or his son in Pompeii, since Mom (Audio Companion), Sis (Amy) and Dad (The Doctor) have all been regulars on Who
That's debatable. There's no reason it shouldn't unless contradicted by the series. TV Who has acknowledged and supported its Expanded Universe as many times as it's contradicted it (the Eighth Doctor's shout-out to his audio companions in Night of the Doctor, while the novel Human Nature was remade for the series), as well as contradicting itself of course (three explanations for the disappearance of Atlantis). The BBC don't give two hoots about canon so they've never decreed one.

The sister wasn't Karen. She played a different role as one of the soothsayers.
Hardly any studio ever "decrees" a canon, because "canon" is a term coined by fans and critics to refer to the original core material as distinguished from its tie-ins, pastiches, and fan fiction. The creators of the original series therefore don't have to worry about canon and never give any thought to the word, because it only has meaning in relation to material outside the core work. The only time studios ever think about canon at all is when they do bother to issue statements about how the tie-in materials relate to the original work. For instance, Paramount/CBS's policy is that Star Trek tie-ins don't count toward the canon, and Lucasfilm licensing's policy (but not George Lucas's own) used to be that the Expanded Universe was kinda sorta part of the canon up until the canon contradicted it, and so on. But usually canon is a concept that only fans think about. I guess the BBC is in that majority of studios that's never addressed the question one way or the other.
Exactly what I was getting at, really.
Jenna confirmed this week that series 9 starts filming in January, which implies she's in it, but she phrased it as "They start filming," which implies she isn't. Nicely played.
The old principle cast members surely must have carte blanche to spend the day "around" the set for shits and giggles as long as it doesn't interfere with production.
Of course, if Jenna leaves *in* the special, then her being spotted filming it won't actually tell us one way or the other anyway!
No, please let Clara go and be gone before Moffat has her go and change the Doctor's sex in vitro too.
I had a crazy thought about the next companion. We know from the DVD mini-episodes that were on the season 6 set the Doctor still continues to have adventures while his companions are sleeping, with those mini-episodes Amy wakes up in the middle of her relative "night" and catches the Doctor in middle of an adventure. So, what if the next companion is already travelling with the Doctor, and is a permanent companion living on the TARDIS like all Who fandom seem to feel a companion should be, only we haven't seen her since all the adventures the Doctor goes on with Clara are while the other companion is sleeping?
Obviously, this doesn't hold up completely at the moment, Listen definitely works best if we assume the Doctor doesn't have any other companions, but depending on how the rest of the season plays out, the next companion could already be in the TARDIS before Clara leaves.
