Now that we've begun to get hints about Series 7, any thoughts about what strange choices may pop up? I don't mean the return of the Rani -- it's a given that every female character will be thought to be the Rani. Here are a couple of my ideas:
- The preview posted on the BBC America site and currently on the Series 7 page in this wiki show a Wild West setting in America -- perhaps we will see Mark Sheppard return as Canton Everett Delaware I.
- I've suggested this elsewhere, but what do you hope to see in the new companion? I hypothesize that she will be the daughter of River Song and the Doctor. --- this will solve the problem of the Doctor's guilt about taking humans into danger. Boblipton talk to me 02:04, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
It would also solve the problem of the companion being in love with the Doctor. What I hope for in the new companion is that we will get an additional companion. The "young girl with the Doctor" is getting old. Shambala108 talk to me 02:46, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
Well, the "young girl with the Doctor" has been part of the show's formula since the beginning, and is unlikely to change any time soon. Still, I agree that it is good to mix things up a bit. America's a big enough country that the Doctor isn't likely to run into another Canton Delaware, though it isn't impossible. If he's going to the old west though, then maybe we'll finally get a reprise of The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon, which all Doctor Who fans have been waiting for for 46 years. Well, that would be kind of stupid, but hopefully there will be some kind of nod to the Gunfighters. That eyestalk at the end of the trailer looked like it could have been a Dalek eyestalk, and we haven't had any good Dalek episodes during the Moffat era. The new companion being the Doctor and River's daughter would be pretty cool, though there isn't any real reason to believe that that's the case. Besides, if a daughter of the Doctor's is going to be a character, then it would be nice to learn what hapenned to Jenny before the Doctor gets another daughter. I'm sure we'll also see more of the Silence in season 7, and possibly see the Fall of the Eleventh at the Fields of Trenzalore.Icecreamdif talk to me 01:30, March 31, 2012 (UTC)
