The Sweet, Sweet Pie of Smugness

Well, we can't pronounce on ALL the predictions yet, but young, white, cis-female, and conventionally attractive? I think we're there on those:

The Doctor's new companion is revealed

Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl. - I suspect the biggest mystery the Doctor ever encounters might be overselling it a bit. And boy meets girl? REALLY? Eurgh.

I'm sure I'll be able to put up with her character, maybe even I'll like her, but it would have been nice if the opportunity had been taken to have someone a bit more different :(

When I heard she'd been in Captain America I was hoping she'd be Natalie Dormer. But she turned out to be the one who stands next to Tommy Lee Jones here.

No, that IS Natalie Dormer.

:( And it turns out I'm actually thinking of Hayley Atwell anyway.

Good thing I don't want to be a casting officer.

Well, it's hard to tell white women apart sometimes. I understand.

(Natalie Dormer's always been stuck with 'too pretty to be interesting' characters that never do justice to her skill. I first noticed her in Casanova.)
