Doctor Who

I just realized I haven’t mentioned DW yet, but I have of course watched it. In general I think it’s better than the last season. I adore this Doctor! And though I like Ruby, she sometimes felt like a rerun of Rose. I love Belinda, though. She’s a great character and I hope she will stick around for more than one season.


And now Mrs. Flood’s secret is revealed!


Spoilers and a prediction musing under the cut.

Though I was by no means certain who Mrs. Flood really was, I always thought the Rani was the strongest contender. And I was right. She looks properly imposing, though I don’t get why Mrs. Flood gets relegated to a minion by the bi-generation, when the Doctor only got double himself. But then I doubt the Rani would tolerate an equal… Anyway, I always liked the Rani, and always hoped she would be back one day.


And Susan! The original Susan too! Though I get the feeling she is only the original in the Doctor’s mind. Or maybe not. I think Belinda is tied into this somehow, which is why the Doctor reacted so strongly when he thought she was dead. Could she be Susan’s granddaughter? Or is Belinda Susan herself, but not knowing it? It wouldn’t be the first time a Time Lord lived unaware of who they really are.


I can’t wait to find out!
