Tegan's departure hits you like a ton of bricks. When most companions leave, it's all "I've fallen in love and I want to stay with him" or "I have to stay. These people need me."
Tegan was the one companion who finally reached her limit on how many people she could watch be killed while traveling with the Doctor. It's one thing you never expect to see, even though it's one of the most realistic reactions a companion could have.
I have no problem with the possibility of there one day being a female Doctor, but I think it's worth noting that we don't really have any confirmation that Time Lords can switch sexes upon regeneration. The Doctor said the Corsair was a woman once, but that doesn't necessarily mean she regenerated into a cis-woman.
if doctors 1-8 were off on their light at the end adventure and war doctor, 10, and 11 were doing the whole day of the doctor thing I’m just going to assume shalka doctor and 9 grabbed a milkshake together and spent the whole day avoiding all this weird shit
At the tender age of 100-something, the first Romana came off like the Time Lord equivalent of a 19 year old who took herself too seriously and thought she had the world all figured out. She spent all of her time with the Doctor rolling her eyes and wondering if this bizarrely dressed man-child knew what he was doing.
Then she regenerated, and her second incarnation retained that Miss Knowitall personality while developing the ability to have fun and appreciate the Doctor's jokes.
I think Romana's ability to see herself as the Doctor's intellectual better while having to face how inexperienced she was and learn to loosen up a little is what makes her my favorite companion.
The first and second Doctors walk into a bar. Unfortunately the rest of this joke is missing, but you can always watch the recon of it
With those 4+ episode Doctor Who serials, very rarely do you run across the coveted story that naturally flows for several hours. Instead, you sometimes run across...
"I need a man to defend me."
The Keys of Marinus - season 01 - 1964
If you're wondering why I haven't posted a new audio review in months, I have a very good excuse:
I'm superbly lazy.
It's all birds of a feather when it comes to the Doctor Who audio fans. Gallifrey Base's forums are full of people who hated this month's release, "Moonflesh." Meanwhile, everyone at Big Finish's official forums loved it. And there's hardly a dissenting voice in each respective forum.
I liked it, by the way. It didn't blow me away or anything, but it was pretty fun.
I'm watching "Planet of the Daleks" and struggling to wrap my head around the "molten ice" on the planet. Do you mean water? I think that's what ice becomes when you melt it.
Why do you like Jo? she's a dumb blonde stereotype, and is basically just as bad as rose.
I would like to frame this and hang it above my fireplace.
Cannot stop looking at! Hahaha!
Jesus Christ. Did he lose a fight with a 1973 Freeman’s catalogue?
There's this one thing about Big Finish and the way they treat their companions that just doesn't sit right with me. They don't like to give their companions exits.
Warning: I'm about to spoil several years worth of Big Finish audios, right up to December 2013's "Afterlife"
This just gets funnier the longer I stare at it.
