We have a LONG wait until DW returns to TV! So tell me, what are YOUR unpopular DW opinions!?
For me, I LOVED the first series of both 12 and 13. They were trying new things and I really appreciated the freshness. It felt more creatively honest to me than the follow-up series.
Rose Tyler is neither the greatest companion of all time nor a blight upon the land.
Who is your favorite companion? I’m in the “Rose is my favorite” camp, but I could make an exception for Amy Pond.
Wilfred.
He was the most supportive dad, omg 😭
Either Clara or Donna
Clara is my #3, but I’m not a Donna fan. I don’t hate Donna, but I’m not a fan and think she’s just too annoying and doesn’t complement the adventures well. I did like her return in the recent specials, but that was largely because David Tennant was also there.
My husband is on the “Donna is annoying” camp. Which is totally understandable especially since she basically screamed every line during her first appearance. He softened up on her later on cos she’s funny but still thinks she’s mostly annoying
I think Martha is underrated. She’s a doctor, actually brings knowledge/expertise, and still has the human compassion aspect that Rose and Donna rely on. Her only flaw is that she had a crush on the Doctor and he didn’t reciprocate.
Martha is definitely underrated. It also doesn’t help that her story is relatively short. Most (primary) companions get 2-3 series, I think she got 1/2 to 1 series, maybe a little more with a cameo (it’s been a little while).
Who’s #1 and 2?
Number 1 is Rose, number 2 is Amy Pond.
Rory is probably 4. Martha next maybe? Or Bill. Ruby and Belinda were also great, so maybe they’re 5 & 6 first? It gets difficult the further down we go.
Yeah, I’m with the Ponds. All of them.
I respect this, and I think I agree.
