“The female companions in the classic series never did anything but scream and twist their ankles”

First and Fifth Doctor companions as “Things to Never Say to Someone Who Just Came Out” by the Onion

[georgiacooked]

Last night I finally finished all the Classic Companions in my Doctor Who series. Decided to put them all together to see how they looked, and I rather like it! A future poster, maybe?

(Before anyone asks about Liz, she's on the as-yet-unfinished UNIT poster. I haven't forgotten her. Please, I've had so many people ask me about Liz)

[psychicwound]

thinking about that one person that was like 'companions in classic doctor who could leave without being the most important person in the universe' which is like. fair. but also. bad things happened to classic who companions all the time ? like susan got left behind against her will, katarina & sara kingdom died, liz & dodo both got offscreen departures that didn't do their characters justice whatsoever, & jamie & zoe got their memories wiped. victoria left on her own accord but she also left because she couldn't take the anxiety that came with being a companion. also martha & all of thirteens companions left on their own ? so like ? it's a mix of both i think for both shows ?

[jupiter049]

The world if in the giggle instead of mentioning mavic chen The Doctor had mentioned Katarina and Sara Kingdom.

[halbarryislife]

lol and people think classic who doesn't have stakes

[dw-tma]

The Magnus Archive wiki describes the Slaughter as

“The fear of pure, unpredictable, unmotivated violence. The fear of pain coming at sudden, random moments. Manifests as people driven "mad with Slaughter," soldiers, music that either induces Slaughter or warns that Slaughter is coming. Often manifests in imagery of war or murder, and can appear wild like a frenzied killer or calm and regimented like soldiers firing on the battlefield.”

Speed-running Doctor Who - 1st Doctor

A quick and dirty guide for those who want to get into the show, but don't want to watch everything from the beginning.

For Those Who Just Wanna Get An Idea of the Era

The Romans - S2E4

If you just want to get your toes wet and watch only one story from the era to get a feel for things, then The Romans is fairly continuity lite and offers a good look at what defines the First Doctor's era. Plus it's only four parts and all of the episodes exist.

Plot Important Episodes

Entrances, Exits, Enemies, Lore Drops, and Character Development (missing episodes will have a * next to it. You will have to find recons and animated versions to watch instead)

An Unearthly Child - S1E1 (Very First Episode, Introduces The First Doctor, Susan, the Tardis, Ian, and Barbara)

The Daleks - S1E2 (First appearance of the Doctor's arch enemies)

The Edge of Destruction - S1E3 (character development for the tardis team and first hints that the Tardis is alive)

The Aztecs - S1E6 (character development for Barbara and the rules of time travel are defined... which the Doctor continues to break form here on after. Also introduces the Doctor's first onscreen love interest)

The Sensorites - S1E7 (character development for Susan and lore drops regarding the Doctor's home planet and people)

The Dalek Invasion of Earth - S2E2 (Return of the Daleks and Susan's last episode)

The Rescue - S2E3 (introduces Vicki)

The Web Planet - S2E5 (the Animus is the Great Intelligence, Change My Mind!)

The Chase - S2E8 (Barbara and Ian leave, and we meet Steven)

The Time Meddler - S2E9 (We meet another of the Doctor's race for the first time, and he may or may not be The Master)

Mission to the Unknown - S3E2 * (first Doctor lite episode and a prologue to The Dalek Masterplan)

The Myth Makers - S3E3 * (Vicki leaves and Katarina comes aboard)

The Daleks' Master Plan - S3E4 * (Katarina's only full story. The Doctor also meets Bret Von and his sister Sara Kingdom. One of whom may or may not be a reincarnation of a future companion. The return of both the Daleks and the Meddler)

The Massacre - S3E5 * (Character Development for Steven and Dodo is introduced at the end)

The Ark - S3E6 (Dodo's first full story... plus it actually exists)

The Celestial Toymaker - S3E7 * (the first appearance of the Toymaker)

The Savages - S3E9 * (Steven leaves)

The War Machines - S3E10 (Dodo's last story, and we meet Ben and Polly. The first time the Doctor works with the military)

The Smugglers - S4E1 * (the conclusion of One's character arc)

The Tenth Planet - S4E2 * (the first appearance of the Cybermen and the First Doctor's last story)

Personal Favorite and Least Favorite Stories

Because one man's trash is another man's treasure and vice versa

Favorite: Marco Polo - S1E4*

Least Favorite: The Gunfighters - S3E8

(disclaimer: no spin-offs or extended universe stuff was considered when making this list)

Up next: The Second Doctor

[companion-showdown]

Who deserves to do well in a tournament for once?

The top 4 in this poll will join Grace Holloway, Graham O'Brien, Ben Jackson, Polly Wright, Vislor Turlough, Wilfred Mott, Kate Stewart, Peri Brown, Mel Bush, Zoe Heriot, Liz Shaw, and Chang Lee for the tournament proper. (Contestents were chosen based on a semi-scientific process to determine the worst performers across all tournaments, so no arguing about who should be on it)

[georgiacooked]

A bit late to post this, but have my latest Doctor Who character sheet! This time featuring Classic Companions, as voted for in my last twitter poll. We have Romana 1, Sara, Grace Halloway, Mel, Katerina, Kamelion, Dodo and Zoe!

Only two more to go and we’ll have one for every classic-era companion. Still got plenty of characters to cover though!
