#(altho it's not necessary - k9 is more like this with leela than romana cos romana also can stand up to the dr's bs most of the time)
Text
i have deduced that k9 and nardole are the two main tv examples of a very specific archetype of dr who companion which i love:
on approximate equal footing with the doctor in terms of also being From Space, especially relative to the other companion
explicitly subordinate to the doctor in some way (dog or whatever nardole's job is) and always getting bossed around
under no impression that the doctor is any sort of uniquely special magic space guy, and therefore:
at any point 100% willing to call the doctor out on their bullshit
#doctor who#k-9#nardole#dw#lily dot tee ex tee#can't wait for series 15 and the return of the double companion. it's ALWAYS more interesting#i think jack is also a variation on this but his mentality of being a companion to 9 is still more conventional#and on the flipside turlough never really gets as much chance to grow into this dynamic because he's never the longer-serving companion#so that dynamic in contrast with a new companion never gets represented#(altho it's not necessary - k9 is more like this with leela than romana cos romana also can stand up to the dr's bs most of the time)

Knightmare is an obvious pun, how often is it used?
