I liked Rose with 9, but I prefer Martha with 10.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

I guess I'll put it off to an unexplored aspect of Tish being as open-minded and adventurous as her sister.
I assumed Lazarus was richer than Croesus and Tish was practical.
My ranking of companions would be:
(1) Sarah Jane
(2) Romana (Mary Tamm version)
(3) Leela
(4) Rose (with 9th Doctor)
(5) Captain Jack
I think Peri annoyed me as much as Adric did, but that may have been toxic spillover from the 6th Doctor. Oh well, both ended up departing to be with sources of massive sound and fury.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My top 4 are:
Rose
Sarah Jane
Leela
Captain Jack
I'm partial to the 4th, 9th and 10th Doctors, though. The 4th was the first one I ever saw.

I have a deep-seated desire to see Jon Pertwee's son as a doctor but not until Tennant is thoroughly through with the part.

I hatedhatedhated Peri for her sheer annoyingness. But, I loved Tegan for her sheer bloody-mindedness.
Overall, I'd rank my top five as:
1. Sarah Jane Smith
2. Tegan Jovanka
3. Rose Tyler
4. Leela (for her primalness)
5. Turlogh (because he started out evil, and then brought the hawt, especially in his final episode when he stripped down to his Speedo, unfortunately covered by his shirt, but at least he was wet).

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.
I don't dare try to rank companions, as there are several that I only saw a couple glimpses of that I think I'd love - Leela, for one. Adric at least had the advantage of not screaming a lot, therefore he ranks a bit higher than most of the younger females.
Rose may be my favorite.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I hated Ace. I can give you three:
1) Rose 2) Sarah Jane (I cried all through her season 2 episode) 3) Leela

I put Ace in the "meh" category, but I probably favor her a bit more because she was the companion in what is my favorite Dark Doctor Who episode (pre-revival), Remembrance of the Daleks, the 25th anniversary one where they went back to 1963 London and had tons of shout-outs to An Unearthly Child, including a real meta-moment (Ace turns on the TV, and as the vacumn tube warms up, you can hear the Beeb's announcer saying, "And stay tuned for our new adventure show, Doc..." and she turns the TV off in frustration).

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The whole watch thing was clear from the very beginning, and I do mean the beginning.
I also was not amused by the little "I broke up with you", "no I broke up with you" bit. I really hope that isn't a recurring theme because it's stupid and annoying.
I actually kind of like the idea of hopping back and forth.
I am very displeased that they are not using the original Queen song. I don't care how much it cost. One fewer rift would have been worth it.
