Who's your favorite Doctor Who companion?

[[The]Rock]

19 posts in before someone says that. God. Robot dog people! it shoots lasers. It insults mickey the idiot. It doesn't pee on the rug.

Mikey: 'we need to get in there, do you have a laser or somthing?'
K-9: 'we are in a car'
Mikey: 'i know, but how do we get in there!?'
K-9: 'we are in a car'
Mikey: 'i got it! we're in a car!'

(Paraphrase win)

oh, and Ecoho, you need to learn how to spell mercy.

Being in Australia, I only watched 'A Good Man Goes To War'.
FUCK, has Rory grown some serious stones!

It annoys the hell out of me when anyone refers to the latter Doctor Who seasons (Eccleston onward) as a 'reboot'. It is not a reboot, though 'restart' is not entirely inaccurate, seeing as The Doctor did take a holiday for a few years. The term 'reboot' would suggests retro-active continuity - a history re-write - but this is not the case. Please, for the sake of my sanity, can people stop calling it a frikken' reboot?

Anyway...

Ace was always my favourite, especially throughout the books (my school library had a fairly comprehensive collection, I recall). She makes her own explosives and weapons, and puts them to good use frequently. She took out a Dalek with a rocket launcher (supposedly impossible) by aiming for the eye stalk. She beat the crap out of Imperial Daleks with an electrified baseball bat because she took exception to being described as 'small' by one of them.

Unfortunately, Ace has to make way for Rory now.

Rory seems to have a habit of selflessly dying... but he gets better. He guarded his en-tombed missus for 2,000 years (during which time, despite being made of wax, he pulls the Pandorica from a burning building hit by WWII incendiary bombs. He had a sword-fight with a vampire. He even chinned the bloody Doctor (and earned the Doctor's praise for it)!

...and for me, Rory standing before the Cybermen command, against the backdrop of their exploding battle fleet, and asking "shall I repeat the question?" *CROWNING MOMENT OF UTTER F'ING AWESOME*

His expression at that moment was what made it absolutely perfect. He topped it off with some damned good moments later in the same episode too.

While Amy Pond is very hot and as such makes her apealing to me despite how annoying she is, im going to have to go with....

 

[Colour Scientist]

Donna Noble even though I can't stand Catherine Tate in anything else.]
Rory is becoming a close second though.
Hurrah for team stupidface!

 

[Slash Dementia]

I think I'll go with Amy Pond, but I've only seen episodes from the 9th Doctor until now.

I liked Rose, but she was too annoying. Also, Donna was good, but I just like Amy better.

 

[MidnightCat]

Out of the most recent series - Donna, then Amy. Most of my friends prefer Rose, which baffles me. I wouldn't say I hate her, but she's definitely at the bottom of my list.

 

[GrimmjowPantera]

agree with Ace and Pond.Also enjoy: Tegan, Romana and Susan.

But by far the best, JAMIE MCCRIMMON. Best. Accent. Ever. My accent. Sort of.

 

[Dan From Aus]

It use to be between Leela and Ace, but then Rory came along.

 

[OhSnap]

Grace Holloway, Donna Noble, Jack Harkness, Amy Pond and Rory ever since A Good Man Goes to War. I mean seriously. I was mind blown at how bad ass he was.

By the way, that's in no particular order.

I like Karen Gillan (Amy), although my love of her is directly inverse to my love of the show as a whole

 

[ReaperGrimm]

I liked Amy Pond the best.

 

[SBoggart]

I love Rose Tyler, I really do- but... Amy... I love Amy, 'so' much. I thought the Rose/10th Doctor match would go unrivaled, but I was happily surprised. Amy/11th definitely is neck-in-neck.

1)River Song
2)Rose Tyler
3)Amy Pond
4)Martha Jones

I suspected River was who she is a few episodes ago, but you know with Dr. Who the story can change in a heartbeat.
Rose is my number 2 because she went through a ton of emotional pain for her doctor.
Amy Pond is my number 3 because for as dark and depressing these two seasons have been she has taken it extremely well and has grown into a powerful woman.
Martha Jones should be higher on my list but I <3 1-3 alotlotlot. She's here because she and her family went through a year of HELL and are the only ones who remember. Could you imagine?

Anyone else noticed that the producers and writers are putting more emphasis on the consequences of being a Companion? I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE since 2005 is emotionally scarred, went through hell and back but still <3s the Doctor.
The Doctor can be cruel for either not noticing (which I doubt) or not caring.

 

[Belluavir]

Nevermind

 

[[The]Rock]

Nevermind

Okay, I guess.
*Rocks slightly in straight-jacket*
WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Dalek Caan]

Amy then Rose.

I've noticed that too, maybe the writers are trying to make being the doctors companion seem more real instead of just being '"okay, lets drop you off here then, bye." And they all lived happily ever after'. Now it's more like '"Ah, this emotional stuff is really too much to handle, I have developed Stockholm Syndrome now." And they all lived crapply ever after'.

Yar! Even Sarah Jane Smith got all upset when she ran into the Doctor at that school full of aliens trying to find the answer to god.

Leela and the Brigadier. They were hilarious.
