A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.
None of them get to say, "thanks for the awesome ride! I'm retiring to Bath now, have a good eternity without me."
Martha did precisely that. Rose has her own Doctor she can actually have sex with, so being separated from this Doctor isn't as sad as it could be. Donna--Donna was highly shafted. Those are the big three ended companionships. Donna's grandpa left with little angst, as did Mickey, and Captain Jack worked out his issues with the Doctor, and left on very good terms with him.
So...no, not really. And even if it did, that's once every 2 years. It's not like they spend too much time wandering about with the end of their sojourn hanging over their heads (except they kinda are doing that now--Amy and Rory have a real life--the Doctor comes and picks them up for fun, but that's not going to last much longer, one way or another).
Sarah Jane had a great time post-doctor until the actress playing her died. Martha seems to be having a good post doctor life. Captain Jack ends up with immortality post doctor. Immortality is not always pleasant but on the whole he seems to enjoy it.

Sarah Jane had a great time post-doctor until the actress playing her died.
Hadn't she been abandoned by the doctor without a word for like 20 years until they reunited in "School Hard"?
Yeah, but she was on earth continuing to do stuff. Not isolated in some horrible place.
I thought Sarah Jane left by her own decision.
No. Four was recalled to Galifrey, and dropped her off (in the wrong city, but apparently the right planet and time).
Sarah Jane got booted originally when the Doctor was called back to Gallifrey.
He left her in the wrong place...which was utterly lacking in meaning to me-who-knows-little-of-UK-geography.
She did want some Doctor closure. but it's not like she was pining in some strange place far from home, or anything.
1) They have a greedy murderous trader with a big nose and they name him "Solomon"?
And disabled, at that. The episode was a real "win" on a number of "stepping directly into of problematic stereotypes" fronts.
There were a lot of bits of this one that I liked, but it fell into the "too many ingredients" category, because random Nefertiti and not!Quartermain seemed really random and superfluous to the plot. I get that they didn't want to use River, or make it future-Torchwood or UNIT that was gonna shoot down the ship, but my in medias res tolerance for things where I've seen all the res there is and it clearly being a one-off episode and largely outside of this large and complex universe that has been established is low enough to inspire me to write this post.
