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 :(

All true and as it's turned out, Smith's become one of my favourite Doctors. It's just that of the first 8 Doctors, I think Davison, McGann and Tom Baker are the only ones who might be cast were they to turn up to an audition for the 12th Doctor, the rest being dismissed as too old or not attractive enough. Sad, really.
