Probably the biggest question on every Whovian’s mind is: who is the new companion going to be? I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with every possibility, and I think I finally have it.
Here are the facts:
1) The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is coming up, and while they haven’t really talked about it, everyone knows it’s going to be big, huge even. They want something memorable for the loyal fan base.
2) Moffat said about the new companion: “It’s not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it’s about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him in his merriest dance yet. And that’s all you’re getting for now. 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.” While other companions have had some mysteries surrounding them, it seems as if the new one is someone big and unexpected.
3) There have been rumours lately about a female Doctor taking over, and the posts I’ve seen have been split down the middle on that issue. Some people have said they would stop watching. Moffat knows that. I can’t see him alienating a section of fan base like that.
Which brings me to my theory: why not have two Time Lords in the TARDIS at one time? A male and a female. She couldn’t be River, because we’ve seen River die and know she doesn’t have any regenerations left.
But what about Jenny, from the David Tennant era? The last we saw of her, she was in a rocket, blasting out into space. We never know what happened to her, or if she could regenerate or not. I think it is a very strong possibility that the new companion is a regeneration of Jenny, come back to have adventures with the Doctor.
She’s really the only family he has, and I can see Doctor Who coming full circle in the 50th anniversary. The Doctor started traveling with family, it’s been 50 years, why not do it again? Plus, it would be a big shock to have it revealed during the 50th that she’s been Jenny and a Time Lady all along.
This is just my theory, I’m sure there are plenty of others. I now turn it to the fans. Who do you think the new companion is? Do I have enough facts to back me up, or am I completely insane?
