The War Between The Land & The Sea Is The Perfect Chance To Bring Back Osgood
The Character Hasn’t Been Seen For A Long Time
If there ’s one character that deserve to be brought back in a UNIT - focusedDoctor Whospin - off , it ’s Petronella Osgood . The character was first present during the 50th Anniversary Special “ The Day of the Doctor ” , where she helped the Eleventh Doctor , the 10th Dr. , and the War Doctor fight against an invasion of frame - shift Zygons . Her allegiance to her friends immediately made her a devotee - favorite character , and she was brought back for both the time of year 8 coda and another Zygon - centric adventure in time of year 9 .
One interpretation of Osgood was killed by Missy in " Death In Heaven "
The War Between The Land and The Seawould be a perfect opportunity to bestow Osgood back after almost 10 years of absence . Not only was she cheeseparing friend with Kate Stewart , who is confirmed to be returning , but her character ’s backstory is absolutely suitable to cover with a conflict between Sea Devils and humans . There are presently two reading of Osgood that are known of -one Zygon , and one human . She know better than anybody how possible it is for coinage to coexist , and her diplomatic skills could be extremely helpful in this show .
Doctor Who Has Weirdly Underused Osgood After Peter Capaldi’s Era
She Was Missing From Chibnall’s Era Entirely
One reason that Osgood ’s return key would be so exciting is because her character was alas underused after Peter Capaldi ’s era ended . She was so in effect in preventing the Zygon encroachment , not once but double , and then the show seemingly forgot about her just as her narrative was get more interesting . It would be fascinating to have a character on - screen where audiences never know whether they ’re human or Zygon - but Chris Chibnall ’s era neglected to capitalize on that theory . UNIT has a rich account with the Doctorso their presence in the show has n’t faltered , but for some reason , Osgood simply has n’t been there .
… if ( Osgood ) ’s not coming back to the principal show any fourth dimension shortly , The War Between The Land and The Seais a thoroughgoing place for her return to hap .
It ’s possible thatDoctor Whois just waiting for another Zygon - focused escapade to contribute Osgood back and make the most of her unique situation , butthere have been ample opportunities for that since Capaldi ’s era ended . The creatures have been remark several time in Jodie Whittaker ’s run , thoughDoctor Whoseems hesitant to bring them back for another whole adventure . But if she ’s not come back to the master show any time before long , The War Between The Land and The Seais a perfect berth for her return to happen .
The Problem With Doctor Who’s Spinoff Bringing Back Osgood
Her Job Has Already Been Taken
Admittedly , Osgood ’s character has essentially been replaced by now , and it would be difficult to bring UNIT ’s scientific advisor back without getting rid of the I that presently exist : Shirley and Morris . Both grapheme were introduced as part of Russell T. Davies ’ new era , so it ’s more likely thatDoctor Whowill stick with them for now . Still , with Kate Stewart returning as ( believably ) a main case , there ’s way for her friendly relationship with Osgood to be research outside the work environment , even if it ’s just a small cameo inThe warfare Between The Land And The Sea .
