i think you're exaggerating.
its not even a trailer, its a small teaser to show who the 3 new companions are since aside from photos they hadnt been revealed.
companions in doctor who are almost always modern age era brits so "wheres the scifi" isnt really a valid complaint.

feel 100% the same way, the stories were just plain bad.
always got the impression they had this actor who could play the role anyway they wanted
but once he was selected they didnt know what direction to take him.
started off dour and really stern, that didnt work so next series Dad having a midlife crisis complete with shades
and electric guitar.
the writing for Missy was perfect they knew the character they knew the direction
Moffats obsession with Clara didn't help either. when a companion is getting better lines than
the lead actor you know there's a serious issue
You cared enough to post.
that teaser trailer tells me nothing.

So, fingers crossed they don't but this tends to happen with female leads: Their characters get written as "passive actors" in the lives of others, that is, even when they're the main character, the stories focus on what everyone else is doing with the main female only providing suggestion or a nudge in a certain direction, rather than taking the lead role. The fact that The Doctor is portrayed as "just a little flash of time sparkle stuff" in the lives of others makes me concerned for the potential direction of this upcoming season.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.
Just, be kind.
isnt that kind of the history of the doctor? he shows up, does a thing and then leaves and everyone remembers him like that.
i also like the idea that apparently jodie is playing the doctor as a man who has just turned into a woman and not just simply "im a girl now lol"

In a way, yes. It depends on the impact, which I suppose is my concern. The impact of The Doctor on companions "and friends" from back when they restarted the series has been pretty dramatic. A few of them are left "where they were" like Donna, and that was fucking heartbreaking and a few of them are left fundamentally altered, I mean fuck, Amy died (in an infinite Angel time-loop), Me became an immortal unable to age, Bill is a water-time-machine-thingy, and Clara is like, stuck out of time or something.
The visuals presented seem to indicate that The Doctor's impact will be fairly minor, leaving the companion's lives much as they were before.
I hope it's hilarious and slightly cringey. Because it should be. It plays off well from when The Master regenerated to be younger in envy of The Doctor, now The Doctor is going "Hey if The Master can be a woman, so can I!" but not really knowing what they're getting themselves into. Which speaks well of the writing, since half the fun is The Doctor doing something radical without knowing what they're getting themselves info.i also like the idea that apparently jodie is playing the doctor as a man who has just turned into a woman and not just simply "im a girl now lol"

I think you're reaching a little dude. I mean, they're not exactly going to have the Doctor walk along, stopping at each companion and says "This one dies." next companion "This one is going to go insane. Its cool, I fix it, but they're still a little broken" next companion "I hook up with this one, then it gets strained, so they leave and we don't talk anymore" etcetc.
This is just a teaser, hell, the WRITERS probably don't even know what the end destination for these characters will be, so why would they hint at it in the teasers.
I mean, look at Donna's intro, or Amy's. Was there ANY hint as to their end when they started?

Comicon Teaser (This time, with actual footage from the show. ;P)
Iam not exaggerating cause i have seen every episode of Dr Who (even the ones that dont exist)
To me this is cheap arse writing where they need to keep cost down by making sure the companions is from this day and is human!
Remember when the doctor used to have companions who wasnt from this day and age and wasnt human?
Its cheap and uncreative to have people in 2018 to be a companion just like its cheap to have a companion from 2013 etc
This show has so much unlimited potential but they decide to have more companions from the time we live in cause the BBC is so fucking cheap and the writers is so uncreative!
Amy was just sent back in time to her lover. She lived her life and then died of old age. OK, I guess she died, but not in the sense you think of.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
theres not many. even in classic who they were mostly modern day brits. there are outliers like leela and romana but to act like they were the norm is kind of ridiculous. would i prefer a companion from the past or the future or an alien? sure, im not gonna expect that though.

i really really like jodie so far which is strange for me because for a long time i was against a female doctor. i like having a big group in the tardis, i loved when 9 had jack and rose and when 10 had mickey, and i liked when 11 and the gang all ran about.
theres something nice about having a family unit, sure the doctor and his best, secret, super special bud is cool and all but we had that with clara and bill and a bit with amy too so im glad to see a group together and we havent had one this big since classic who
