Although Sethu first appeared in 2024 ’s " Boom " , her purpose in theDoctor Whoseason 15 castplaces far more focus on her fresh character . The nature of theconnection between Belinda Chandra and Mundy Flynnis address near theend of " The Robot Revolution,“but it is not fully resolved .
Belinda prove herself a worthy companion inDoctor Whoseason 15 ’s opener , although the installment also comes with the surprising twist that she has no interest in traveling with the Doctor after being rescue . alternatively , she just want to pass to Earth . However , the TARDIS ca n’t take Belinda menage , and she is drive to go on a journeying through time and space .

Belinda has come in to replace Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday after the latter made her exit as a full - time phallus of the casting at theend ofDoctor Whoseason 14 . Although they have differences , both char have fallen into the category ofDoctor Who ’s " enigma female child " companions . This is a common figure of speech that predates Ruby . It encompasses late fellow traveler like Donna Noble ( Catherine Tate ) , Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan ) , and Clara Oswald ( Jenna Coleman).Belinda unknowingly reference this narrative trend in " The Robot Revolution " while speaking with Fifteen in the TARDIS .

AlthoughBelinda only intends the line to pound merriment at the Doctor , it means a pot more when get wind as a viewer of the show . Because of the cryptic issue of Fifteen and Belinda being draw together by something that ’s as yet inexplicable , showrunner / writer Russell T.

Please Doctor Who, Don’t Make The Companion After Belinda Another Big Mystery
Doctor Who’s future needs to move away from enigmatic companions for a while
As much as I enjoy mysterious companion plot line , they start to lose their efficaciousness if used too often - which , in my opinion , they have been . What ’s even more thwarting is that the big reveal aboutRuby ’s female parent inDoctor Whoseason 14 , which was one of the biggest enigma , turned out to be very dissatisfactory . So , rather than introducing a new companion as an enigma to be solve , it would delight it far more ifDoctor Whoreturned to a more classical recipe of those journey with the show ’s independent character just being steady masses who go on thrilling adventures .
