I have since seen this debunked as false and that they are waiting to see how season 2 fares, but it also sounds completely plausible, unfortunately.

At this point, I don't want any reveal of Mrs Flood. She is too much fun right now.

David Tennant Recalls Agent Told Him “Don’t Touch” ‘Doctor Who’ Role

Although David Tennant will go down as one of the greatest "Doctors" on television, his 'Doctor Who' role only came after he sought a second opinion.

(may be keeping that gif handy)

That was fun. I like Belinda. Nice to get the Mundy "mystery" out right away. The setup for Belinda definitely feels like a setup for one season companion.

I liked the reveal. Definitely adds the proper context to some of the stuff that was like, eww, beforehand. And added more grossness.

Ha yeah RTD has played the long game with this one. Glad we can stop suggesting her for every Easter egg lmao

I like the actors but the show has been relatively boring for a couple seasons now

 

[Sithborg]

I've been catching up, and the season has been good. But it sort of just fell to the wayside for me after the premiere because of other amazing shows.

 

[Still Wynning]

I like the actors but the show has been relatively boring for a couple seasons now

I don’t entirely disagree on the first season. It was a bit more uneven and felt like it was playing it a bit more safe to hook the more casual audience that hadn’t watched Doctor Who. It had some high highs, but also some low lows. Also, Millie Gibson, as great of an actress that she is, felt like she wasn’t served as well by the writing for her character, and the payoff and build up for the overarching mysteries surrounding Ruby Sunday and Sutekh fell just a little flat.

However, I do disagree on this season. I feel it has been a lot stronger, more consistent and more engaging and I’ve not been bored by it at all. Belinda Chandra as played by Varada Sethu has been a much better companion, and I think part of that has been because they’ve kind of let the character be the character and not elevated her as this special cosmic coincidence that is a key importance to the overall season plot, at least not nearly as much. And this past episode’s twist ending reveal has primed the ending of the season for what I think will be a much better and more satisfactory endgame. We’re now finally starting to pay off a lot of story threads that were begun in Season 1, like the Pantheon, Mrs. Flood, the weird coincidences and occurrences throughout the past two seasons brought about by what the 14th Doctor did in Wild Blue Yonder at the edge of the universe, etc.

This season feels like Russell T Davies in prime Doctor Who mode finally unleashed doing more of what people have come to expect from him and a lot of the stuff he did when he wrote for the 9th and 10th Doctors’ seasons.

I do think that the lower ratings are probably from people expecting last season to be a return to form and being a bit disappointed checking out from this season. Hopefully the ending of this past episode and whatever happens in these finale episodes creates a bunch of word of mouth and gets more people back on board.
