Doctor Who Season 2 Faces Intrigue with Early Companion Appearance

"Indeed, the individual joining Doctor Who for the new season 2 as a companion was first seen in 'Boom' – yet this unexpected appearance has left us pondering numerous queries.

Be aware, spoilers for Doctor Who episode 3 are ahead. Consider yourself alerted.

'Boom' quickly became a beloved episode, filled with edge-of-your-seat moments and perilous journeys on a planet embroiled in an unceasing conflict.

In the midst of this turmoil and suspense, one might catch a glimpse of a notably familiar individual. Embedded among the scarce figures actively navigating the treacherous terrain of Kastarion 3, we find the Anglican warrior Mundy Flynn, portrayed by Varada Sethu.

Sethu is poised to become the Doctor's latest companion in the forthcoming season of the BBC/Disney Plus collaboration. The question of her premature appearance remains somewhat enigmatic at this juncture.

Within the episode of Doctor Who itself, the situation wasn't explicitly clarified, aside from a humorous comment by Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor suggesting she could wed Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), thus becoming Mundy Sunday.

It seems there might be a link between the current and future companions, but with the enigma surrounding Ruby and her frost-tinged recollections still untouched, there appears to be significant narrative territory to traverse before Varada Sethu's return.

Looking ahead, we're possibly facing one of two scenarios: A) Varada Sethu reappears as Mundy for reasons yet to be revealed and joins the TARDIS crew, or B) Doctor Who executes a maneuver reminiscent of 'Clara'.

The 'impossible girl' companion, depicted by Jenna Coleman, was featured twice as various versions of her character before officially becoming part of the cast in 2013 – her initial appearances tied into an overarching plot that spanned several seasons.

It might be a similar situation this time around. Our curiosity must be tempered with patience – the intriguing introduction of Mundy is evidently a narrative meant for future exploration.

For additional excitement, delve into the greatest sci-fi films ever created, alongside Ncuti Gatwa, Millie Gibson, and series director Russell T Davies sharing insights on every episode of season 1 in their recent discussion with SFX."
