3. Did you see the other one, too...
at 1 1/2 hours, most likely a "special"?

Woulda been interesting times in the TARDIS if that one decided to tag along, but the latest companion is another winner.

Quite the hottie, she was!

12. Yeah-- actually, I was thinking quite the...
mouth on that one. Shouting across the galaxies...

But, they gave her some interesting potential should she and Doc run into each other again. And, she has a marvelously disfunctional family to encourage her to split this planet.

Meanwhile, this intern he's packing off with now is a very interesting change-- the Doctor's past companions haven't been nearly as educated or sophisticated as she is. Makes for some new possibilities.

23. Catherine Tate
And there is already a season four announcement concerning her.

Until then check this skit out:

6. You're in for one incredible season.
Sorry, I've already seen the entire season, including the season climax (no spoilers). Even though I still miss Rose, his new companion proves to be every bit as good. Many things are resolved, and some old friends return for visits.

In other words, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GREAT TIME WATCHING THE ENTIRE SEASON!

14. Yup... same here
Its on the BBC a year ahead of what we see on scifi... No spoilers, but people who are into the remake need to remember that in the original, "the dr" changed actors, as did his companions.. The cast is not set in stone...

That said, I wonder if they will ever do a female Dr.. Id kinda like to see the red haired 'weakest link' lady as a Dr... Would be fun...


well everyone cept Bo

15. Robinson? No, for goodness' sake NO!!!
They gave her a cameo as a robot in series 2 of the new run, I think ,and it was awful. She's a jumped-up gossip columnist. She can't act to save her life.

However, they did have, during the Tom Baker era, Romana, a 'Time Lady' - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romana . 2 actresses played her, since she regenerated in proper Time Lord style. She was good (I reckon those stories were better than most), but I think the change to a woman just wouldn't fit the Doctor.

20. You haven't seen the other stuff with Robinson we have to put up with
She screws up everything. She's not evil, she just thinks she's funny. Luckily, the BBC have realised how crap she is, and her appearances are getting less.

Molly Brown? Yes, she could well get in there somehow.

Both 1 and 2. She could be a bit of a bitch at times.

22. Better towards the end than the beginning
But VERY good throughout.

"Blink" was one of the best episodes of any TV show ever.

25. What is it about men and Leela?
If you mention Leela to my brother and his friends they all get this half-starry/half lustful look in their eyes, say her name and then have to wipe the drool off of their mouths.

26. Four points:
1. Nice knockers.
2. Nice legs.
3. Nice face.
4. She was protecting the Doctor more often than not, not vice versa.

27. number 4:
That's why I adored Leela.

Bitch didn't play. She'd take out anyone who tried to hurt the Doctor.
