I love Donna. Easily my second favorite companion.

I’m not stupid enough to think that you’re implying she was literally trying to turn into a a time traveling alien who can change their appearance when they die. Clara isn’t that stupid either. They were together so long that they both picked up some of each other’s good and bad traits, and she ended up taking her own…

The bit where River suddenly realizes that the old Scot she’s been hanging out with for the past few hours is actually the Doctor is one of my favorite scenes in the entire show.

“The Empty Child.” It still ranks in my top 5 stories.

I’ll give you that second sentence, but Donna might have been the pluckiest of all of Ten’s companions. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I agree, her introduction in series 7B was pretty weak, and she was fairly bland for her first few episodes. I’m glad they kept her around though, because the character she turned into is my favorite New Who companion, and I love the relationship between her and the Twelfth Doctor!

I don’t think it’s an argument, more like a conversation between fans. I’ve said a couple of times you’re entitled to your opinion. No need to get defensive.

Trying to emulate what the Doctor would do in a tense situation does not mean she is “so obsessed that she tries to literally become the Doctor.” It means the Doctor is really good at what he does and she should look to his example. There’s at least one instance of Rose doing the same thing.

This is such a bizarre misreading of her story. How is the first companion in New Who to have never been a full time resident of the TARDIS, who had a job, boyfriend and life outside of the Doctor, more obsessed with him than Rose? Or Martha? Or Amy?

If that’s your argument, then what’s the problem with Clara? She was the longest serving companion. But man, Rose? Rose is the only companion that actually regresses. She goes from strong, independent, working class audience surrogate to nothing more than lovesick obsessive fan girl.

I really don’t agree with that, especially in regards to Clara. She certainly started out that way, but by series 8 she was a fully fleshed out character in her own right, with her own strengths, flaws and ambitions, and the most fully fleshed out character arc for any New Who companion.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I’d like to point out that Clara is actually my favorite companion. She has the most growth out of any companion in New Who, and a fantastic character arc that ultimately ends in tragedy and gives us the best episode of the entire show, “Heaven Sent.” There were a lot of criticisms…

I seem to recall hearing it was a mark of his exile and it was removed after The Three Doctors.

If I mention Elder Scrolls to my mother she’ll think I’m talking about the Dead Sea Scrolls probably. If I mention Skyrim, she instantly knows it’s that video game where you fight dragons.

Dinklage was robbed for season 4. Aaron Paul was great that year, but it’s hard not to feel like he only won because it was Breaking Bad’s final season.

Even Dinklage winning supporting actor is strange. Out of the two GoT actors nominated I don’t even think he deserved it; Coster-Waldau did better work this season.

Boys becoming men. Men becoming wooolves.

It would still be absolutely bananas to say “our lives were at risk”

Please. People were already shitting on Solo long before The Last Jedi ever came out. 

Would have been a great way to do it. Prince Philip sneezes and he’s suddenly an old Scotsman.
