The companions tended to stick with the Doctor for at least a bit after regeneration, but the position had a lot of turnover. One of them, Tegan, lasted all the way from the end of the Fourth Doctor's run to just before the beginning of the Sixth's.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I liked Tegan. She was sort of the angry voice of viewer incredulity years before there was a Television Without Pity.

Oh, interesting. I don't know why I assumed the companion would change with each regeneration - I guess I figured there were longer time lags between new Doctors than there necessarily were.
I should go find a Dr. Who site or two. I feel the need to know more.

Here's an irreverent brief guide to the series.

Heh, that's a fun site. I can now say definitively that I've only seen eps with the Dr. portrayed by Tom Baker (mostly these) and Peter Davidson (a few of these). The only reason I couldn't say this before is that I had no idea which names to attach to the two faces.
Well, aside from the current, of course. Which, have I mentioned, I love CE? I have? Well, OK, then.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Pity they haven't updated that site to include the new Who.

I noticed they left in a span of time between not only the last ep with the villain from this ep, but between the previous two-parter.
Handy gaps like that are useful for fanfiction and scriptwriting wiggle room.

the new Who
Wow, that earwormed me with "....the New Zoo Revue..." The mind is a scary place that is often quite random. I did love that odd little show with the big-ass puppety things, though. (Hmmm, the seeds were sown early for my love of Farscape.)

Hasn't there been a fair amount of implied space dotted here and there? She's gaining a fair amount of knowledge offscreen.
From the tvcream site:
Although the movie bagged 9 million or so viewers in the UK, it stunk out the place in the USA. As such we were denied a series that probably would have been packed-to-bursting with crap things like 'story arcs'.
