The Eleventh Doctor: The universe is big, its vast and complicated, and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. And that’s the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me.

#people who have all auditioned for the role of companion over the years #and you are bullshitting me if you tell me the only girl in the acting industry who had chemistry with matt #was good old jenna. #steven moffat
Wow. Look at the diversity these actresses would bring to the show. That would have been so interesting to watch. Ugh Moffat. You are so typical, I swear.
Moffat, I’m going to blast you to smithereens.
Do you know how much I want to see an Asian on the show?
I mean JESUS FREAKING CHRIST. GOD DAMMIT MOFFAT. RACIST MUCH? I’d love to see someone from my home continent on my favourite television show!
I mean yeah, sure, Jenna’s probably going to be brill.
BUT C’MON MOFFAT.
SERIOUSLY?
I don’t need a change of companion.
I need a change of writer.
I would just like to point out that here in the UK there are actually comparatively few people who aren’t Caucasian. There are so few Asians or blacks that if you go for the “diversity” card there is no way to include everybody without significant tokenism, a form of positive discrimination which is just as bad as negative discrimination. It’s just not possible to include as many races as there are without alienating the population that make up the vast majority of the United Kingdom.
I’m not a racist and I certainly have no objection with Martha or any of the other non-Caucasian characters in Doctor Who, I’m just pointing out that the casting has to be a faithful representation of the population of the UK or it just descends into politically-correct madness. Great Britain just isn’t as multicultural as America is and a lot of Americans don’t understand that here it actually is novel to see somebody who isn’t Caucasian.

“I’m not a racist (ha) and I certainly have no objection with Martha or any of the other non-Caucasian characters in Doctor Who, I’m just pointing out that the casting has to be a faithful representation of the population of the UK or it just descends into politically-correct madness. ”
Jesus fucking Christ, I knew the DW fandom had the occasional fuckery, but this just takes the cake.Also, it’s sad that there are people who are scummy enough to think that wanting a diverse caste means it is a type of madness.
Or that there is something wrong with it.
Alright, dudes, we’re making our own Doctor Who. Full of everyone. We will have so many queer and trans* folk and people from all over the world! We will also bring back Nine.
woooooow
(at least) two of these ladies have actually been on in non-recurrent roles and when I saw them I was like “NEXT COMPANION!!!!” so what’s up!?
I like Moff’s story archs and stuff but srsly, I’m getting fed up with all the bullshit.
And I’m reminded once again why I don’t like certain parts of this fandom.
^ Thaaaat.
Jesus.
You can’t just call him “Not Mum”
From Doctor Who Series 6: Closing Time
So I know I’m in the VAST minority here, but I would legit be happy if the Doctors next companion was a baby.
Like in a frontpack and the Doctor just argued with it all the time while they traveled space and time.
I also would love Craig or kid-Amy as a companion. I love how young Amy is SO unimpressed by the Doctor.
This also seems appealing to me.
Babies + Eleven = Success

in-the-tardis-with-the-doctor:
14 conversations that totally should have gone down in Series 5.
6. OT3.
I guess I’ve just peed a little.
