TIME TO SPEW OPINIONS (Companion Edition):

Rose was a great companion who worked really well with 9 and 10. Her personality really helped exaggerate the Doctor's sass and later his emo-ness as 10. She was super brave and very willing to act on her beliefs. (even standing up to the Doctor)

Martha was unfortunately overshadowed in the Doctor's mind by the loss of Rose (L) but she is a GREAT character who had strong opinions and wasn't afraid to tell the Doctor he was wrong or fucked up.

Donna was a great partner to the Doctor with their bickering back and forth. She would readily challenge him but would also play off of him with her own specializations (The calendar in The Doctor's Daughter, The planets in the stolen planet bits)

I have my own issues with Moffat's writing so I'll leave out things that I believe to be "Moffat Issues" and not individual character issues.

Amy was an interesting character who seemed to understand the Doctor more than some of the other companions. This, combined with the new lease on life that was the 11th Doctor really let Amy be both serious and goofy playing off of the silliness of the Doctor.

Rory felt like kind of a side note until he died the first time. When he came back he was a main character kind of guy. His main priority was always Amy, even when there was other things going on, and I REALLY like him.

River isn't really a companion, she's more of a side character. River feels like she was kind of shoehorned in to some of the Doctor's lore in earlier seasons, but by the time she arrived in the Capaldi era for the Christmas special it felt like she was actually someone that the Doctor would like. Before then it almost felt like she was just there for drama. Her appearance in Silence in the Library was interesting and made her character someone to be excited for, but her appearance in The Impossible Astronaut felt kinda of dramatic for me. (not that drama is a bad thing, just my preference) I'm not really a fan.

Clara... I've written essays on why I don't like Clara's character. I think she's well written, especially when we get into series 8 territory, but I also very much HATE her as a person. Her struggle with 11's regeneration is understandable, but the way she treats 12 hurts me a little bit. The 12th Doctor definitely doesn't help Clara's ego when he makes her choose things for the entire planet Earth (Kill the Moon) but by the time Dark Water rolls around her ego is so big it could have BEEN the moon. Spoilers BTW: Oops her boyfriend dies. She's like "OH, I have a time travelling friend I love and care about, he has nothing to do with anything related to this horrible thing that just happened to me so let's threaten to strand him on this planet forever if he doesn't help me undo an event that I already witnessed" What in her mind tells her to do this. I get it, you're mentally ill and grieving. I hate her. Not only did she think of the idea of stranding him on Earth to be fine, but she also TRIED. She tried to drug him and strand him. The idea that he was ok with that kind of put me off a bit. Him forgiving her aside, she also told him that anything Missy did ever was his fault, which is INSANE. I know Missy did some terrible shit to her boyfriend but Clara using this to guilt the Doctor into MURDERING Missy is insane. If she had a spine, she would have done it herself before he got in between them. Anyway I'm glad she died of her hubris. (I could go on)

Bill Potts is my scrungly and she was SO perfect for the 12th Doctor. Their conflict in Thin Ice really nailed down how different the Doctor is from their human companions and emphasized that he's not morally perfect all the time. His hands aren't clean and she knows that, but she also knows that he has good hearts and wants the best for humanity. They have a very grandpa/granddaughter kind of thing going on, which I think works super well with the grumpy 12th Doctor. They're fun, they get along, and in the end it's the Doctor's confidence in his own ability that gets her killed (at first). Bill did nothing wrong ever.

Graham and Ryan are generally ok. I'm putting them in one section because I don't really feel much about either of them. They each have like 3 character traits and nothing else. I feel ways about Chibnall's writing, but I feel like the crowded TARDIS was a bad idea and if it was going to be crowded I might have preferred that Grace be there. I don't dislike Ryan or Graham but a lot of the things they do (particularly Ryan) seem to be for the plot and have nothing to do with their personalities. In the first two episodes Ryan shows some impulse control issues, (touching a shiny alien thing in the woods, and running out to shoot robots with a gun). Graham shows some anger management issues when it comes to emotional things a couple times(The Woman Who Fell to Earth, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos)

Dan was a great short-term companion. He had what... 4 stories total? His personality was good and he fit in well with Yaz and the Doctor. He was sarcastic, and missed his crush. He had guts, running around with a wok in Liverpool during an alien invasion.

Yaz. I have feelings about Yaz. If only they had decided to make her crush on the Doctor apparently BEFORE series 13, it would have allowed them more than 3 episodes to deal with it. With what little reference there was to it in The Flux, there was maybe 4 lines and some screentime in the new years dalek episode for that season, and a 2-3 scene reference in the sea devils return episode. That, combined with her saving the Doctor's ass in Power of the Doctor, it feels like this was shoehorned in after audience response, which is almost never a good idea. Otherwise Yaz is a generally ok character with little to argue about, and not enough to her for me to dislike. I do feel like they used Power of the Doctor as the stock standard "companion who has a crush on the Doctor saves their ass" that all these types of companions get at some point. It just feels like it was decided late and they realized that they didn't have one.

Anyway, writing some of these opinions made me feel like it was 2014 again and I didn't like rose because I liked the 10th Doctor. Ofc some of these opinions are from a place of "oh no! They hurt the scrungly!" I did not read this before posting, I just WENT.

P.S. Also I have feelings about the Master, I'll post those later.

P.P.S Also I have watched some of classic who but there's a lot of it so I just skip around to whatever bits sound the most interesting at the time.

No.1 Clara Oswald defender

If there’s a million Clara Oswald defenders, I’m one of them. If there’s one Clara Oswald defender, it’s me. If there’s NO Clara Oswald defenders, I’m dead but best believe I’m gonna do the impossible and come back from the dead to defend Clara Oswald.

[agentoffangirling]

Love that in "Before the Flood" in Doctor Who, Clara begins calling out Cass's name when she loses her only to realize that she's Deaf and can't hear her

"I'm an idiot" yeah, you kinda are girly

BOTH  OF  THEM  WERE  SILENT  AS  THEY  WALKED  BACK  TO  THE  TARDIS  .  the  weight  of  what  he  did  to  ashildr  playing  on  his  mind  .  a  lot  of  things  had  happened  .  one  of  the  more  problematic  being  that  he  had  finally  found  out  where  he  had  stolen  this  face  from  .  clara  had  walked  behind  him  ,  QUIET  for  the  most  part  before  speaking  out  about  it  as  well  .

‘  i  thought  i  recognised  your  face  when  i  first  saw  it  .  ’  she  had  said  .  a  frown  pressed  up  against  the  doctors  features  &&  he  turned  to  look  at  the  small  brown  eyed  human  .  she  had  her  arms  folded  as  she  walked  amongst  the  trees  &&  dirt  .  the  doctor  STOPPED  ,  watching  her  carefully  ,  unsure  of  what  she  was  going  to  say  next  .  ‘  i  never  said  anything  because  ...  well  ,  i  figured  there  was  some  WEIRD  timey-wimey  thing  .  ’  she  smiled  slightly  before  climbing  over  a  log  ,  coming  to  a  stop  in  front  of  him  .

‘  i’m  waiting  .  ’  he  said  .  ‘  though  ,  clara  oswald  -  you  have  seen  all  of  my  time  lines  .  you  WOULD  have  seen  caecilius  at  some  point  .  ’

clara  frowned  ,  looking  up  at  him  ,  as  if  piecing  together  the  memories  of  the  time  she  spent  in  his  time  streams  as  a  shard  ,  eyes  flickering  over  the  lines  that  creased  at  his  eyes  &&  his  older  features  that  burned  from  a  memory  that  existed  THOUSANDS  of  years  ago  .  a  man  whos  face  the  doctor  stole  .  to  remind  him  to  be  kind  .

‘  mm  .  yes  ,  you  have  his  face  TOO  .  ’  clara  finally  concluded  &&  the  doctor  frowned  down  at  her  .  with  a  sad  smile  ,  clara  moved  onwards  ,  arms  still  crossed  over  her  chest  as  she  moved  ,  trying  to  stay  clear  of  the  mud  .  ‘  i  meant  someone  else  .  ’  she  turned  her  head  back  to  look at  him  &&  pursed  her  lips  .  

someone  else  ?  the  doctor  stared  for  a  moment  ,  realising  then  that  they  had  been  walking  into  a  clearing  .  they  were  on  the  right  track  towards  the  TARDIS  ,  but  it  could  wait  for  just  a  minute  as  clara  explained  herself  .  he  was  so  sure  of  where  he  had  got  this  face  from  .  it’s  why  he  SAVED  the  little  viking  girl  .  it’s  why  he  made  a  ripple  in  time  .  because  he  had  before  .  he  could  save  one  frightened  person  .  &&  that  was  a  good  thing  right  ?  

clara  looked  at  him  with  sad  eyes  ,  a  flicker  of  remembrance   passing  over  her  face  .  ‘  sometimes  i  think  you  forget  the  world  you  sometimes  leave  behind  .  ’  she  said  .  ‘  a  few  years  ago  ,  there  was  an  invasion  .  they  called  it  the  4-5-6  .  torchwood  managed  to  STOP  them  .  but  politicians  were  going  to  sacrifice  one  tenth  of  the  child  population  to  the  aliens  .  whatever  for  ,  WE  STILL  DON’T  KNOW  .   ’

she  took  a  pause ,  obviously  studying  his  face  ,  waiting  for  a  REACTION  of  some  kind  .  but  he  ,  was  very  ,  very  good  at  hiding  what  he  was  thinking  .  though  he  felt  his  hearts  tripping  over  themselves  .  sometimes  ,  just  sometimes  ,  the  doctor  decided  to  turn  his  head  in  SHAME  of  humanity  .  the  4-5-6  invasion  was  one  of  those  times  that  he  chose  to  REMOVE  himself  from  the  timeline  .  he  had  heard  about  it  afterwards  .  he  had  seen  the  report  torchwood  had  made  -  keeping  an  eye  on  jack  from  afar  .  but  there  were  obviously  things  he  had  skimmed  over  .  he  let  clara  continue  though  .  not  interrupting  her  ,  wanting  to  hear  her  perspective  .

‘  there  was  this  politician  .  well  no  ,  he  was  a  high  ranking  civil  servant  .  ’ she  continued  .  ‘  he  was  directly  INVOLVED  for  some  reason  .  but  then  ...  ’  she  paused  ,  looking  up  at  him  .  ‘  do  you  really  not  know  ?  ’   she  asked  .

‘  &&  ?  ’  the  doctor  emphasised  ,  eyes  locked  on  her  with  a  stare  that  could  be  confused  for  ANGER  .  

clara  pursed  her  lips  &&  cleared  her  throat  .  ‘  he  pulled  a  gun  out  on  his  family  .  shot  them  then  pulled  the  gun  on  himself  .  a  massive  SCANDAL  .  he  became  the  scapegoat  .  a  lot  of  politicians  put  the  blame  on  him  about  the  children  .  everyone  saw  through  it  though  .  but  his  name  was  slandered  by  the  papers  .  family  were  put  to  rest  in  disgrace  .  unmarked  graves  if  i  remember  correctly  .  ’   she  stared  up  at  him  then  tried  to  find  his  eyes  ,  which  he  was  trying  to  avoid  her  gaze  .

‘  john  frobisher  .  ’  she  finished  meekly .  ‘  that  was  his  name  .  &&  i  don’t  know  but  ...  that’s  WHO  you  look  like  .  that’s  WHO  you  remind  me  of  .  ’

‘  john  frobisher  ?  ’  the  doctor  repeated  .  ‘  his  family  ?  ’

‘  wife  .  two  daughters  .  no  one  else  .  LAST  OF  THE  LINE   .  ’  clara  said  .  ‘  about  thirty  people  showed  up  to  their  funerals  .  most  of  them  his  wife  &&  kids  friends   .  bit  sad  really  .  ’

the  doctor  remained  silent  for  a  moment  ,  then  continued  to  walk  in  the  direction  of  the  TARDIS  .  which  was  coming  into  his  field  of  vision  .  clara  caught  up  with  him  .

‘  what  do  you  think  it  means  ?  ’  she  asked  ,  catching  up  with  him  .

‘  don’t  know  .  ’  he  LIED  .  

clara  fell  silent  for  a  moment  ,  shaking  her  head  &&  stepping  over  a  log  .  ‘  okay  ,  it's  official  .  silence  is  even  worse  in  a  scottish  accent  .  are   you  going  to  tell  me  what  you're  BROODING  about  ?  ’  

mind  racing  ,  the  doctor  realised  slowly  that  he  had  made  a  grave  mistake  .  yes  the  face  that  he  took  from  the  fires  of  pompeii  was  a  reminder  to  save  people  .  but  this  new  information  with  frobisher  ?  the  fact  that  this  might  have  been  time  rectifying  itself  ?  it  TERRIFIED  him  .  what  had  he  done  ?  actions  &&  ripples  &&  consequences  .  stupid  ,  foolish  ,  sentimental  old  man  .  the  doctor  scolded  himself  angrily  before  turning  to  clara  ,  her  expression  SOFT  .  he  shook  his  head  ,  reaching  towards  the  TARDIS  .
