'Asylum of the Daleks' - Killing your S8 dreams

[bookgazing]

Spoilers for the first episode of S7 Dr Who

So without watching the rest of the series, here’s what I’ve got; next season’s female companion is essentially dead before her travels with the Dr even get underway. Probably no one is going to tell her about her eventual dalek assimilation for a while once she becomes his companion. The worst part of the River Song storyline structure is being repeated. Seem about right?

I don’t know why anyone would do this. This is terrible. And there’s absolutely no way to make 'Dr Who' stop doing this kind of thing is there?
