It's the Doctor Who version of Dr Aphra from Disney Wars, isn't it?

I always thought giving the Doctor and alien companion would have been ideal, but that's pretty much what they did with Leela, as she was unfamiliar with everything Earthlike. She was such a good contrast to the Doctor - being the primitive brawn to his advanced brain and slowly learning how to value human life. Damn, this series was good at one time....

Don't forget they did the same with Romana who was a timelord, but the reason they use companions from the modern day so the audience can have someone to relate to in a way they can't with the Doctor

idk, men have no problem relating with the doctor and he's a shapeshifting, time travelling alien from the future.
is it that big an ask of women to sympathise with a girl from 200 years ago?

Women have trouble identifying with any characters at all. That's why all these "strong female protagonists" in modern media are completely void of any personality, so it doesn't get in the way of the female audience's self-insert fantasy.

They keep talking about how the new TARDIS interior is so great, I wish they'd hurry up and show it. All we have is an artist's render of a leak right now.

Someone finally saw the first X-Men film after 23 years and thought they could rip-off Cerebro and no one would notice.

the newer seasons seem to be going for a very 70s inspired who is considered the golden age of DW, especially with the TARDIS interior and logo, that alone is not a bad thing

They need someone intelligent enough to ask questions of the Doctor so the writer can explain things to the audience, but it doesn't work very well if the companion comes from a time where they would be baffled by things like electricity or space travel. I don't think that women would be unable to sympathize with some girl from the 1800s, but it would much harder to write for the character.
Having said that, I'm not a woman and the one thing I think is weird about the new Doctor Who is how much focus there is on the companions and their friends and families and how much the companions want to smooch the Doctor. I guess that's why the female fan base has increased from the old days, but it's still weird to read discussions about which Doctor is the cutest and which companion he should be dating. Even in the old days when some of the companions were explicitly billed as "something for the dads to look at", they were rarely treated as mere sex objects.

I see they've been doing the TARDIS up a bit. I don't like it.

If accurate, this feels like an Apple store update of the Tenant era. I guess 10 years late, but appropriate given his return.

It's over, kill it with fire.
This is actually a modern take on the original old style Tardis. It's not bad - but not enough to save this pedofest.
