I like Billie Piper, to this day she's still my favorite companion and even the best romance option for The Doctor. But this is so fucking retarded. How do you spin The Doctor regenerating into one of the most important companions he's had? It's not like the writers can just ignore it. They couldn't ignore it when Peter Capaldi came along, after he had been a small side character for 1 episode.

And this is so stupid, because I think she could do the job. She probably has a better understanding of the character then the last 2-3 attempts. If anything she should have been the first female Doctor (if you really want to do this stupid idea). But the writing will still be horrible. And bringing her along is a sign that the people in charge know the writing is shit, but they have no intention of fixing it. Just like when they brought back David Tennant in the role. They brought David on to invoke people's nostalgia and hope, but when went on to ridicule and belittle The Doctor. Great job assholes.

Doctor Who died. And they fucked the lore so hard, that they can't even go on a decade break and try to revive it again, like they did in the 90s.
