Why do we assume Billie is the next Doctor? She wasn’t introduced as such in the credits, and there hasn’t been any announcement from the BBC, which seems weird.
Anyway, I hope Season 3 sees a return to a bit more traditional New Who-style sci-fi, with Daleks! And/or Cybermen! And Susan and the Boss, of course!
I don’t assume that at all, I’m pretty sure something weird’s going on. However, as far as we know, that scene is going to be the current/most recent Doctor Who for at least 2 years, and her being the doctor is clearly the surface-level implication, so it feels weird to not at least engage with the idea
Because the Doctor regenerated into her. That is the best explanation that I can find for it. She might not be, but most evidence points to her being the Doctor.
I’ve been thinking this! They’ve got Bonnie too. Make it a multi-Doctor episode with Jodie while they’re at it.
It may just be wishful thinking, but I think Billie is more open to revisiting her music career than she has been in a while. I think (not unlike Chris with DW!) she’s beginning to see how much fondness people have for it.
I cannot recall an episode of this season where Murray hasn’t lumbered in with an overwrought theme that steps all over the actual content of the scene it’s playing over.
