    Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Traveling Companion Needed Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 3 Comments1 Min Read

    This weekend’s Doctor Who Christmas special was a lovely experience, and one that firmly underlined one of my core beliefs about The Doctor: He should never be left to his own devices.  Previous solo adventures have unfailingly ended poorly (as the Fourth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors history shows), and with Jenna Coleman’s exit, the position of companion is once again open.  I have little idea what the BBC has in mind for the future, but looking at the past, there are a number of fascinating folk who have shared the TARDIS console room with our favorite Time Lord, leading to today’s counterbalancing query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) will almost always pick Jamie McCrimmon, the young highlander whose tenure in the TARDIS was actually longer than some of the Doctors, asking: Which of the Doctor’s many companions is your pick for the best partner to tour space/time?

    Share.

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      Sarah Jane Smith in any incarnation, be it the young Sarah Jane of the classic series and a few spin-off videos and specials or the older but still beautiful Sarah Jane of the revived series and “The Sarah Jane Adventures”. She’s intelligent, resourceful and strong willed, and she just seems like the sort of person I could trust and get along with. Got to be someone I can trust and get along with if we’re going to spend a long period of time getting into adventures across time and space.

      There is also a strong case for either K-9 or Wilfred Mott, but only if Sarah Jane isn’t available.
