I will say, though, that I interpreted one of Ruby's references to "my real mum" as a reference to Carla. I think it might have been in episode seven, but I forget the details.
For sure - that's a possible side-effect of the shorter season.
To be honest, as good as Millie Gibson has been, I don't feel like I've got a really good handle on Ruby as a character just yet, either.
Carla has been so supportive of Ruby's search for her birth mother - a real unsung hero of the season.
Yeah, there have already been photos featuring both Gibson and, Varada Sethu, so I'm not too worried.
It's been a while since we've had a companion who wasn't living in the TARDIS full-time, and RTD tends to focus on companions' home lives.
Everything so far has me convinced she's a Time Lord...unless literally everything is a red herring, which is always possible.
"Half as well" is exactly the goal - how did you know?!
I think the secret to its success is that it puts narrative first, which makes it adaptable to all sorts of Star Trek nonsense.
I just wish the rulebook didn't embrace that ethos quite as much as it does!
I appreciate it, thanks!
I strongly believe that there's room in the Fediverse for multiple communities about any given topic - everyone should feel free to participate in any and all of them, if they want to!

It is a pretty gorgeous book - my biggest complaint is that it can be hard to quickly find and reference specific rules during gameplay. I'm hopeful that the Second Edition will have some imrpovements on that front.
And we'd all be better off if the media would print level-headed takes like this.

As much as they've been talking up the possibility that the Doc would actively go searching for her, I just don't think that's his style. Or maybe it's not the show's style - IIRC, we were told he went looking for Gallifrey, but we were not shown.
I'll leave the storytelling to the pros, but I imagine he'll either stumble upon her by accident, or she'll find him (likely in the nick of time).
And it would seem downright critical not to hire Carol Ann Ford to play her.
