Works ...I can't find fault with your analysis. Works for me. I never saw an episode with Leela, but (accepting your description) she sounds a refreshing change of pace from the "chip makers".<br /><br />Of the Companions with whom I actually have experience, Donna Noble worked the best. She broke the tiresome trend/tradition of cute waifs pining for the Doctor. If they had only kept Donna at the same sass and spark level we enjoyed in her introduction!<br /><br />I often enjoyed the Companions' Companions, Rory and Mickey. I knew they would never succeed and were doomed to be "cannon-fodder", but I was always pulling for them.Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.com
