Warning! The following contains spoilers for the Doctor Who episode "Rogue." Watch the episode with a Disney+ subscription and read at your own risk! It's been a long wait for Doctor Who fans, but finally, Jonathan Groff appeared as his character in full Bridgerton garb in the episode that just aired on the 2024 TV schedule . While I'd imagine few doubted his performance would be a dud, I'm not sure anyone saw this episode coming or expected how it would set up the actor to be a larger part of the story going forward.
"Rogue" was awesome, but did anyone else feel heavy vibes that allude to the idea that the Broadway vet was playing a familiar character? As viewers continue to count the coincidences stacking up in this season , Doctor Who introduced someone who could be a major recurring character. So, what's up with The Doctor and that big kiss with Rogue, and does anyone else feel Captain Jack Harkness vibes coming from him? Even before the passionate kiss shared between "Rogue" and The Doctor, I was already getting heavy Captain Jack Harkness vibes from the bounty hunter. Hell, some fans had suspected that before the episode even aired, and when Russell T.
Davies didn't squash the speculation , we have to wonder. We never did learn the real name of "Rogue" before he sacrificed himself to an unknown fate to spare Ruby Sunday. Plus, with the time travel of it all, this could've been the first time The Doctor met Jack Harkness.
Whatever the case may be, Jonathan Groff crushed .
