1 As season openers go, it was terrific.
Setup the new years worth of shows nicely. I look forward to more adventures of Chin Boy and Oswin.
She can certainly handle the technobabble fine.

2 So I gather this is the latest Companion? What's the story? (The actress is gorgeous.)

3 Actually, this was a surprise early appearance of the next companion, who wasn't supposed to show up until the Christmas Special.

The episode was Asylum of the Daleks, about the planet where the Daleks dump members of their species who are insane even by their standards.

(And yes, she's pretty cute.)

4 So what do we know about her? (Like the name of the actress?)

If that is who I think it is, the actress's name is Jenna-Louise Coleman.

A LOT of fans of the Wii game Xenoblade Chronicles were bouncing off the wall when the news broke that Coleman was going to play the latest companion.  She voices Melia in Xenoblade - Due to Nintendo of America's bizarre decision making, Xenoblade Chronicles was released in Europe before it was released in the US, and the English dub was recorded in the UK.  Pixy will no doubt not like being reminded of Dragon Age 2, but at least two of the VAs from DA2 voiced characters in Xenoblade.

6 Yep.

Sadly, however, there is no Dragon Age 2.

Ah, yes....For those who wonder what Jenna-Louise Coleman can sound like, here is her character's intro to the main party in Xenoblade Chronicles.  Her part starts just before 4:00.

8 Just watched the episode... all I have to say is that I can't wait to find out how they work Oswin into the series, seeing how she's all SPOILER and stuff now.

9 If I were Steven Moffat, I'd just plop her straight into the role and never, ever explain it.

10 "I can't wait to find out how they work Oswin into the series."
"If I were Steven Moffat, I'd just plop her straight into the role and never, ever explain it."
Well, that probably would beat the way they introduced Romana II.

11 I thought it over and have come to the conclusion that we won't get Oswin, but someone else altogether (much like Freema Agyeman appeared first as Martha Jones' cousin.  I gather the Xmas Special is to take place in Victorian times, which would mean Oswin would be very much out of place.

Maybe it'll be her multi-great grandmother.

12 Tosh and Gwen from Torchwood also appeared in other roles in Doctor Who first.  As did Romana II (as RickC notes), and even the Brigadier.  So that's one option.

But Moffat loves to fake out his audience, so I'm not putting money on anything.
