I had not known that. huh.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Finally got a chance to see my taped eps of Doctor Who from Friday night. I quite liked them, and the two leads. I was a bit surprised by how truly pathetic Mickey seemed in this (he came off much better in "The Christmas Invasion"). My one regret is that the conspiracy theorist with the Dr. Who website only found pictures of the Christopher Eccleston Doctor. How difficult would it have been to slip a photo of William Hartnell or Tom Baker in there?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Or have files for each version, and him pick up that one up? Yeah.
But, then, I also kinda wanted him to find a picture with her in it after she left.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, but that would have required him to know about and explain how there were multiple Doctors, or one Doctor being reborn... It probably would have made his whole explanation too complicated - it would have introduced too much complication too soon for the Companion....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Doctor has a Companion? Okay, I know this isn't Firefly, but - what's a Companion?

Some chick who follows him around. They fight crime.
Actually, I'm not a Who fanatic at all - does Who still use that term?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't have to be a chick. It's the person (or persons) that travel with them.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The thing is, he stopped and looked in the mirror at himself, and made a comment about how the new body wasn't too bad, except for maybe the ears.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's funny to think of it, but it is a reasonable assumption that the Doctor was fairly new to this regeneration, given the way he checked himself out in the mirror in Rose's apartment. So most of the 9th Doctor's solo adventures in the past must have happened between the first time he invited Rose to come with him and the second time. So Clive's pictures of him were of things the Doctor had yet to do, in his own timeline. Though a case might be made that the picture of him in period costume with the family that did not go down with the Titanic might have been while he was new enough to this regeneration that he hadn't settled into his own dress-sense and was still going about in Eight's clothes.

Traditionally, female companions are expected to be fairly nubile (Romana being the most mature of the lot I'm aware of) and also scream. A lot. They may or may not be more useful than any given male companion. Rose is the first human female companion that I have seen who did not scream more than I would.
