5 Reasons Why Clara Will Be the Next Doctor

[TMC]

1) As she is already in the cast as a companion, it would be a clever way to disguise the regeneration. It would seem impossible to keep the revelation of a change in Doctor concealed in the Internet age, but perhaps the aim is to pull off a true surprise.

2) Jenna-Louise Coleman is signed for next season. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the same announcement for Matt Smith has yet to be made, and not long ago a term of three seasons was mentioned as a natural length of service for the role of The Doctor by either Smith or Moffat. I would be willing to believe Smith’s statement that he would like to play the role as long as possible, but perhaps that is a smokescreen.

3) She’s fantastic at the speedy tech talk, but in her role as “Clara” that has only been exploited in two episodes thus far.

4) The reveal of The Doctor’s name was referenced as heralding “the fall of the eleventh.” We’re supposedly going to deal with The Doctor’s name in just a few episodes. Maybe it’s time to move from Eleven to Twelve.

5) Suppose The Doctor meets great danger at the Fields of Trenzalore, as that prophecy states. His identity is revealed. What might be an effective way to escape trouble? He could switch genders and assume the appearance of his companion. (There is precedent in Doctor Who lore for a Time Lord or Time Lady to choose an appearance in a voluntary regeneration.)
