I know this is late, because the finale of Doctor Who's so-called "Season Two" aired last Saturday, but...what the heck??
(Warning: in case you don't already know what happened - which seems unlikely given that it's all over the internet - major spoilers to follow.)
So yeah, that happened. I have to say, I - and a ton of other folks, apparently; good job in preventing leaks, BBC - was totally caught off guard. When Ncuti Gatwa said "I like this face," I was like, "Wait, um, what? No way!" I was expecting a fake-out regeneration like Peter Capaldi's Doctor did once, but, well, nope. Mr. Gatwa is done with the show after just two seasons, which feel like they went by really quickly.
And then. And then!
We'll see if Billie Piper really is the Sixteenth Doctor (you can find tons of speculation about it elsewhere online). Personally, I'm guessing that she won't be, or she'll be some kind of interim/uncounted Doctor like the War Doctor, or the Fugitive Doctor, etc. Either way, after that happened, I was like - okay, Billie Piper is awesome and all, but if they were going to make a former companion the new Doctor or Doctor-adjacent, they should have gone with Karen Gillan, because not only is she already in Disney's payroll records, but then she could've said, "Finally ginger!" (you fellow Doctor Who nerds know what I'm talking about.)
Oh well...
