What does everyone think of our new companion? I see a bit of Amy in her. Anyone else see it or is it my imagination?

no, I see a bit in her, too. I think it's the quick wit.
My favorite line from the last episode was, "Are we going to be ok?" "yes" "is that a lie" "maybe". I cracked up!0 -

There were some great lines in the last one. Yes its the wit and her doing what she thinks and not always what she's told :-) I like her alot. Donna is still one of my favorites though She gave the Dr a run for his money.0 -
It took me so long to like Donna. Then, she was gone. I cried when she had to be obliviated.0

I like the actress, Jenna-Louise Coleman, but the Clara character is a little too adorable for me. I liked Amy's self-centeredness. It made her more real. I remember a funny line after Baby Melody was born when Rory had to battle some enemies and Amy told him to be a Scot and let everyone die before them.0

I started watching seriously only midway through David Tennant's tenure, but my favorite companions are Amy and Rory.0

I feel like we know nothing about her though.. they haven't delved into her storyline, she seems like a tag-along. I do like her as a character though.0

Amy's character was so well developed. I loved that we met her when she was a little girl, funny and clever, but still not a "stage" little girl. You probably know that the actress who played Amy as a child is a distant cousin of Karen Gillan.0 -

I don't know that they'll ever be able to top the Amy, Rory, River Song episodes.0 -

I think she's a little too perfect right now. We'll see where they take her character. I'm excited to see how it goes!0 -

I wonder if they may have the Dr. have a little more romantic interest in this one. :-) Welcome to the group btw0 -
She's ok still trying to fill her out. If you have a Apple device check out the Afterbuzz T.V Doctor Who After-show Podcast. The break down the show and tell news about things to come in the show.
They going to have a show focusing on River Song when I heard the title my mouth dropped open.0 -

Nope if that happens I'll hate her! I love River too much. I wrote a paper about her for my honors english class last year
And thanks! I'm glad to be here 0 -
My one complaint about Clara is this: Her main schtick is that The Doctor saw alternate versions of her die twice, on the Dalek asylum in the future and in London during the Victorian Era. So, why did the one girl who survived and got to ride with The Doctor have to be a middle-class girl from modern England ... just like Rose, just like Martha, just like Donna, just like Amy. Over the years, The Doctor's had companions from other times and worlds (Leela, the extraterrestrial jungle girl, was a personal favorite). So, why does The Doctor seem to be stuck in a rut with his last few companions?0

I see what you are saying, and I think to get the answer you would have to check with Mr. Moffat on this. The companions since the "New" Who, so to speak, are all written by him minus the few shows written by Neil Gaiman, and another who I can't think of his name right now. lol But yea and I wouldn't mind a male companion (nod to Capt. Jack)0 -

From what i've read and seen the thing about Clara is that she is a Paradox and the Tardis does not like paradoxes. Remember she said " I think it doesn't like me" (speaking about the Tardis)
I think Capt Jack is coming back later this year. His part in the show Arrow has gotten real deep. He's showing up more.0 -

If you are a Capt. jack fan, you need to see the movie version of "the Producers"

Someone told me that it's unlikely we'll see River again because we've see all parts of her timeline. I still think that Jenna-Louise Coleman is adorkable, but Clara the character is cloying. BETTER STORYLINES! BETTER CHARACTERIZATION!0 -
I kinda like Clara. She's pretty adorable. And did anyone catch the Wolf and the Rose during the opening?
There's a few theories on who she is floating around the web. My favorite one is that she's the Dalek Emperor. If you remember, Rose kind of split and scattered the Dalek Emperor throughout space and time. Rose could see everything as BadWolf and saw that the Dalek Emperor was once good and had once helped the Doctor. So... Clara (ex/future Dalek Emperor) was created. Quite possible actually.
If you look closely at each episode, Clara always wear red. (Roses are red... Tardis is blue...) And there are hints of roses in each episode.0 -
