Nah, second episode is the one where the Doctor can’t see a way out of a problem without doing something terrible until the companion suggests something, showing both how resourceful they are and how much the Doctor needs someone.

Isn’t he usually introduced to his companions as a fun time travel person? And once they’re along for the ride things start getting kinda serious and depressing? But by that point they’re hooked on the adrenaline rush? What I’m saying is the Doctor is treated as a drug for his companions; the first hit’s free.

His Strongbow commercials are pretty funny.

Nobody liked Adric

I really do get that the companions are meant to act often as a sort of ‘audience in-scene proxy’ so that the Doctor’s complexities, actions and so on have a viable explanation-point and foil to play off of. A good devil’s advocate/as-you-know-Bob element for the viewers. But it’s become too much about the companion’s…

First episode - cute/funny introduction

Given how the last companion went out, that’d be pretty damn heartbreaking.

No I dont, I tried looking for things in the news about it but never saw anyrhing. AND it might not have been sufficient but it was the best I could do at the time.

Like I said earlier officially it was against company policy for some kind of agreement with Apple/IBM about privacy or whatnot. But I still made an anonymous call to the guys local police department about it when I got home.

He’s only used the Angels a couple of times, though, counting Blink, and with the exception of Time of the Doctor, they’ve been real threats. They ultimately did send back Amy and Rory, for example, and the Doctor could not save them.

Remember series one and two, when they earned their big bad status?

Or. OR! Since season-long arcs are a thing, he fails to stop them steal something for a grander plan early on, and then he spends the rest of the season recruiting other heroes for the big thing he knows they’re going to do.

*cough* Weeping Angels *cough*

Steven Moffat says that great villains lose their impact if they show up again and again.

I can’t wait to see the outcome of this case. The driver is so fucked! Driving no insurance to cover his actions will be another line on the sheet for the police.

That’s not even the whole thing.

“Royal Towing, the towing company involved, has called and apologized to Montgomery, and offered to pay to have the transmission serviced, but wanted the videos taken offline.”

Tow companies are SCUUUUUUMMMMMMBAGS.
