Yes, that is Doctor Who’s new season 2 companion in Boom – but the mystery cameo leaves us with more questions than answers

Some spoilers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Who episode 3 follow. You have been warned. 

‘Boom’ was an instant classic: a nerve-shredding, landmine-stepping trip to a planet caught in the middle of a never-ending 🧔war.

Amid the chaos and tension, you may even spot a surprise familiar face. Among the very few characters with their boots on the ground (and in the mud) on Kastarion 3 is Anglican soldier Mundy Flꩲynn, played by Varada Sethu.

Sethu is all set to be the Doctor’s next companion in the second season of the BBC/Disney Plus series. So why has she shown up earl♊y? Honestly, it’s not quite clear at this early stage. 

Doctor Who itself didn’t address it in the episode, sav🌄e for a cute day-of-the-week quip from Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor that she should marry Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) so they can be Mundy Sunday. 

There does appear to be a connection between the two companions present and future, tꦕhough given the show hasn’t fully addressed the mystery behind Ruby and her snowy memories yet, there’s seemingly plenty of ground to cover before we bump into Varada Sethu again.

Moving forward, th𒁏ere’s probably going to be one of two outcomes: A) Varada Sethu returns as Mundy for reasons unknown as joins the TARDIS crew or B) Doctor Who pulls a ‘Clara’. 

The ‘impossible girl’ companion, played by Jenna Coleman, appeared twice as different iterations of the same cha💯racter before joining the show full-time in 2013 – though her early appearance was part of a wider seasons𒀰-long narrative. 

Perhaps it’s the same again here. We’ll just have to be patien💦t – the perplexing arrival of Mundy, it seems, is a story for another day.
