Polly Wright (is that polly's grandchild ??)

[variousqueerthings]

Which companions would you personally say are True Alien fuckers and which ones forget the doctor isn't human?

Okay, so taking out audio plays and the like, and with a caveat that I haven't seen everything (yet) and so some companions I am stipulating based on clips and descriptions and the like + my memory is. trying.

Disclaimer that this is about whose attraction to the Doctor encapsulates the doctor's inherent Alien-ness, such as gender fluidity, total change of appearance (on occasion), near immortality, alien physiology, and other variety of alien oddness.

this is about humans only.

See scores at the bottom. Forgive the mess, I'm operating on memory here.

(EDIT: keeping the original martha thoughts, but I was Wrong, she's an alienfucker, Martha I'm sorry I slandered you)

First Doctor companions: well to begin with, none of them. they're all presented to the incredibly no-sex-allowed show, including the most elderly the Doctor has ever appeared, in the true crotchety old-man sense (although... see the Twelfth Doctor). On top of that the dynamic was mostly paternal and companions tended to leave to do their own thing. Most Alien Fucker however I would give to Steven Taylor (who has an unfair advantage, being from the future, which is also a trend we see over again). Anyone who either travelled only with the First Doctor (Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Dodo) or witnessed the regeneration into Second (Polly, Ben) for various reasons simply would not. To be fair, the Doctor here radiates a "do not sexualise" aura. still. I think the real test was right here, and they all failed to make the grade

Second Doctor companions: notably the appearance of the Brigadier! I think he takes the crown of Most Alien Fucker of Second, although I would say, while Zoe is a bit young to be actively an Alien Fucker, she for sure is shaping up to be one in the future. Jamie and Victoria I personally think are a solid No generally

Third Doctor companions: Truthfully I'd give this one to the Brigadier as well. But wait, you say, what about Sarah-Jane Smith! Ah, but here I create a ripple perhaps by claiming that she wasn't an Alien Fucker, so much as a person who regularly engaged with the Doctor on a human level, despite the Doctor not being human. it's interesting, because she's someone so actively doing alien investigations, but I never think she was seduced in the wink wink nudge nudge sense to the alien-ness of it all. I think her betrayal with the Doctor is very related to the Doctor's non-humanness taking her by surprise (she and Rose have a fair bit in common). Jo is also not an Alien Fucker. Jo wanted a family I believe, in the human traditional conventional sense. Liz could go either way, but if an Alien Fucker, then that alien is not the Doctor. in some ways I think Liz is a bit ace overall, but in spirit youknow.

Fourth Doctor companions: note here we get some mildly non-human companions, but still humanish, which makes it hard. I've decided "born on earth" as a stipulation, no matter what time that is. However that takes out Leela, Adric, and Nyssa, and none of the more born-on-earth humans are Alien Fuckers. notably the Fourth Doctor is considered one of the more obviously eccentric Doctors, so does that have anything to do with it? who knows, I'm making up the rules as I go along

Fifth Doctor companions: similarly Vislor does not meet the stipulations, otherwise I would have awarded him the gold star. RIP to how Peri was treated generally, but she may have an undercurrent of Alien Fucking, because (ironically) she's not so into the Doctor really, but comes to understand (Sixth Doctor) more over time + she hooked up with a warrior king offscreen as part of her leaving so. She's not a timelord Alien Fucker though, I'd say

Sixth Doctor companions: Includes Peri, but we already talked about her, so: Mel. Is she an Alien Fucker? Wee-eell, yes-and-no. Yes, she witnesses a regeneration and is kinda chill about it, no because I wouldn't say she was into the Doctor in either regeneration. So could this be the Doctor specifically? Would it have been different if it had been Eight or Ten? I haven't watched far enough yet to know what her deal with Glitz is, but clearly there's some Alien Fucking genes there

Seventh Doctor companions: which leaves us in the classic series with Ace!!!! Who is absolutely a lesbian, and not at all giving off the vibes of someone mooning after the Doctor specifically. However would this lesbianism include some gender bending fluidity? I cannot say yet, I've not reached that far. My gut says that Ace is firmly into humans, but we shall see!

Eighth Doctor companion: Not an Alien Fucker. Grace was into Paul McGann and the beautiful early-eighth doctor hair, and that is more than fair, however, shallow in terms of Alien Fucking

Ninth/Tenth Doctor companions: okay, I'm gonna have the possibly unpopular opinion that Rose is not an Alien Fucker. there are many different aliens in her story, and she remains firmly into "good looking blokes," while continuously being re-reminded that the Doctor is very much not a human guy and is surprised by this each time. also I like the tragedy that in some ways, Rose may be more into the TenToo clone than the Doctor because she knows that TenToo is stable (in terms of mortality, in terms of never changing appearance, in terms of never having to put anything before Rose). She might be persuaded to be into a bit of gender-fluidity though, we never do find that out

also in short order: neither Adam nor Mickey are Alien Fuckers. Jack, obviously, is an Alien Fucker, but he's also cheating according to my stipulations, that 51st century Boe-born rapscallion!

Martha, likewise, not an Alien Fucker. Her attraction to the Doctor is initially based on awe and the fact that he Needs her, and then when she realises she can do better and deserves better, she rightfully steps the fuck out of his direct orbit (although am not a fan of her ending up with Mickey -- very pair the spares. she deserves that other doctor guy). I think Martha should have been allowed to snog Thirteen though, personally

Donna: not an Alien Fucker and quite chill about that. she's admiring though (not of the Doctor lol), but she knows what she likes.

Eleventh Doctor companions: The Ponds aren't Alien Fuckers, sorry Amy and Rory. River, sure, but I have some mixed opinions on just how human she counts as, considering the mess that is her backstory.

Twelfth Doctor companions: I know Clara met Eleven first, but she's solidly a Twelve companion as far as I'm concerned, and you know. She's got actual Alien Fucker energy. I'd need to rewatch these seasons to form more of an opinion beyond this, because I cannot remember much, but this opinion is solid and unchangeable.

Bill is... hmmmm.... canonically a lesbian of course, and as far as I can remember (again, we're approaching a rewatch, but haven't got this far) solidly hitting on earth girls, but then there's that ending... Does she know that timelords can regenerate? does it matter when she's become, well... Matter. Actually the more I think about it, the more I'd say yes she is an Alien Fucker, but also she's in a somekindof relationship with Heather-Matter, which was also the point at which she became a bonafide Alien Fucker, while also transcending the bounds of humanity, so in and of herself has become the Non-human... it's complicated

I cannot speak to Thirteen, because I've only seen the first season (so far) but from what I've seen of that, they're not Alien Fuckers. sorry guys. let me know if I'm wrong though

SO IN TERMS OF ACTUAL ALIEN FUCKERS INCLUDING AND/OR SPECIFICALLY THE DOCTOR: 2 (Brigadier, Clara)

ALIEN FUCKER POTENTIAL: 2 (Steven, Zoe)

IT'S COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HUMANITY: 1 (River Song) (arguably Adric, Jack, Nyssa, Tegan, Leela, Vislor, Bill... a few others)

THEY'D FUCK OTHER ALIENS BUT NOT THE DOCTOR/A TIMELORD: 5 (Polly, Zoe, Liz, Peri, Mel, Bill)

REGULARLY FORGETS THE DOCTOR ISN'T HUMAN: 17 (Ben, Yaz, Graham, Ryan, Rose, Martha, Sarah-Jane, Jo, Amy, Rory, Grace, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Dodo, Victoria, Jamie)

DOESN'T UUUSUALLY FORGET THE DOCTOR ISN'T HUMAN BUT STILL WOULDN'T FUCK THEM: 4 (Liz, Ace, Mickey, Donna)

UNIMPORTANT TO THIS DISCUSSION: 1 (Adam)

HON MENTION: 1 (Jackie Tyler asking if "there's anything else he's got two of")

FORGOT TO INCLUDE: the UNIT people and a handful of single-episode companions oh well

All in All: it's tough to be a timelord huh.

[companion-showdown-dot-org]

okay new system (anyone can be eliminated in the group stage), new regulars, new groups for the regulars. There will be one elimination in each of these groups, a further 8 slots will be filled by nominations on a tournament be tournament basis, the structure of the nominee groups and the eliminations per group could potentially be very different to those of the regulars and will be highly dependant on the number of nominations.

Here is the new list of regulars, dashes indicate where the groups change. As always, constructive criticism is welcome.

Challenge request!

Tell me the most CHARACTER DEFINING episodes of Doctor Who... For EVERY COMPANION. 1963 - 2024.

OK, so I worry this list will not satisfy you. It's been over a decade since I've done a full Doctor Who watch through, so there's a lot of companions I haven't seen in a long time. Some of these choices, as a result, will be a bit vibes based.

I was going to do some justification write-up on some, but I'm looking at a list of like 60 names (and that's after I omitted the 10th Doctor Specials companions since they're all only one episode). Feel free to ask me about any specific choices.

This will be TV Companions (counting plot-important Webisodes as TV, but most of those are just regular TV companions anyway), but I do reserve the right to have an audio adventure as the chosen episode (in one case, it's a Companion Chronicle). I am also including spin-off shows.

List under the cut

Susan Foreman - The Dalek Invasion of Earth (Maybe The Empire of Death if the theories are right, lol) Barbara Wright - The Romans Ian Chesterton - The Daleks Vicki Pallister - The Rescue Steven Taylor - The Celestial Toymaker Katarina - The Daleks' Master Plan Sara Kingdom - The Daleks' Master Plan Dodo Chaplet - The Gunfighters Polly - The Power of the Daleks Ben Jackson - The War Machines Jamie McCrimmon - The Mind Robber Victoria Waterfield - The Tomb of the Cybermen Zoe Heriot - The Mind Robber Liz Shaw - Inferno Jo Grant - The Death of the Doctor Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart - Spearhead from Space Sergeant John Benton - Invasion of the Dinosaurs Captain Mike Yates - The Dæmons Sarah Jane Smith - The Monster of Peladon Harry Sullivan - The Ark in Space Leela - The Talons of Weng-Chiang K9 - School Reunion Romana I - The Androids of Tara Romana II - Destiny of the Daleks Adric - Earthshock Nyssa - Castrovalva Tegan Jovanka - Time-Flight Vislor Turlough - Planet of Fire Kamelion - The King's Demons Peri Brown - Peri and the Piscon Paradox Mel Bush - The One Doctor Ace - A Death in the Family Grace Holloway - Doctor Who: The Movie (Mentioned in Night of the Doctor counts, so...) Charley Pollard - The Chimes of Midnight C'rizz - Creed of the Kromon Lucie Bleedin' Miller - Lucie Miller Tamsin Drew - Situation Vacant Molly "Dark Eyes" O'Sullivan - Dark Eyes 1 Rose Tyler - Journey's End Adam Mitchell - The Long Game Mickey Smith - The Age of Steel Donna Noble - The Fires of Pompeii Martha Jones - Last of the Time Lords Captain Jack Harkness - Captain Jack Harkness Wilfred Mott - The End of Time Amy Pond - The Beast Below Rory Williams - Dinosaurs on a Spaceship River Song - The Husbands of River Song Craig Owens - Closing Time Clara Oswald - The Magician's Apprentice Nardole - The Doctor Falls Bill Potts - World Enough and Time Missy - The Doctor Falls Graham O'Brien - The Woman Who Fell to Earth Ryan Sinclair - Spyfall Yasmin Khan - Survivors of the Flux Dan Lewis - Legend of the Sea Devils Ruby Sunday - 73 Yards (So Far)

This list is probably bad

So who in totals travelled with the doctor? I know we saw donna, but what other companions are there?

This is gonna be a big one, so *Takes a deep breath* In his first incarnation, the First Doctor started his travels with his granddaughter Susan, accidentally taking her school teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. Along his travels, people would come and go, including Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, Katarina, Sara Kingdom, Oliver Harper, Dodo Chaplet, Ben Jackson and Polly Wright.

In his second incarnation, the Second Doctor would continue his travels with Ben and Polly, taking on Jamie McCrimmon, who would stick with him through his life. Along the way, The Doctor would also travel with Victoria Waterfield and Zoe Heriot. It was during this time that The Doctor would also meet Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, who would become an important figure during his most of his lives.

In exile is his third incarnation, the Third Doctor was forced to work with the Brigadier as UNIT's scientific advisor. Working initially with Liz Shaw, Mike Yates and John Benton, he would finally be able to travel again, first with Jo Grant, and later Sarah-Jane Smith.

In his fourth incarnation, continuing to travel with Sarah-Jane Smith and joined by Harry Sullivan, the Fourth Doctor would go on to travel with Naomi Cross, Leela of the Sevateem, Margaret Hopwood, two models of the robot dog K9, "Anne Kelso", Romana in two of her incarnations and Adric.

In his fifth incarnation, The Doctor continued travelling with Adric and took on Nyssa of Trakken and Tegan Jovanka, who he had met towards the end of his previous incarnation. Along the way, he would also travel with Marc, Thomas Brewster, Hannah Bartholomew, Vislor Turlough, Peri Brown and Erimem.

Still travelling with Peri in his sixth incarnation, The Doctor would travel with others including Frobisher, Evelyn Smythe, Charlotte Pollard (retroactively under the guise of Mila due to already travelling with his Eighth Incarnation), Flip Jackson, Constance Clarke, Melanie Bush and Hebe Harrison.

Continuing to travel with Mel in his seventh Incarnation, the Doctor would go on to be joined by Ace McShane, Bernice Summerfield, Hex Schofield, Sally Morgan, Lysandra Aristedes, Mags, Raine Creevy, Elizabeth Klein, Will Arrowsmith, Chris Cwej and Roz Forrester, though ultimately ended up travelling on his home.

The Eighth Doctor would find himself starting afresh, briefly meeting Grace Holloway and Chang Lee, before going on to travel with Izzy Sinclair, Fitz Kreiner, Charlotte Pollard, C'rizz, Mary Shelley, Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew, Molly O'Sullivan, Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair, Tania Bell, Andy Davidson and Bliss.

The War Doctor would go on to make a point of travelling alone, never taking on a travelling companion during his life.

Though he would continue travelling alone for much of his life, the Ninth Doctor would finally yield and take on Rose Tyler as a companion, and later Adam Mitchell, Captain Jack Harkness and Tara Mishra

In his tenth incarnation, The Doctor would continue travelling with Rose, though would later go on to travel with Mickey Smith, Martha Jones, a returning Captain Jack, Donna Noble, Gabby Gonzalez, Cindy Wu, Anya Kingdom and Mark Seven.

The Eleventh Doctor would start his travels with Amy Pond, going on to take on Rory Williams, Alice Obiefune, John Jones, ARC, The Squire, Abslom Daak, The Sapling, Valerie Lockwood and Clara Oswald.

Clara Oswald would continue to travel with the Twelfth Doctor, who would go on to travel with Hattie Munroe, Nardole and Bill Potts.

In her Thirteenth Incarnation, the Doctor would spend her entire incarnation travelling Yasmin Khan, being joined by Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brien and Dan Lewis.

Throughout many of their lives, The Doctor would constantly meet River Song, though on many occasions would be forced to forget their encounters to preserve the web of time.

And with that, I'm taking a nap - Dev~

who's this doctor guy I'm hearing about

*@#%@#*%()&@#%()*(!&@#%)(!@*@#)%(

infodump under cut SORRY IN ADVANCE

SO THE DOCTOR . the titular doctor who . wooooo boy r they a LOT to explain but i will do my best

the doctor is a time lord from the planet gallifrey !! they did poorly in school, stole a tardis, then came to earth w their granddaughter, pickin up various companions along the way !!!

there r currently fourteen incarnations we have seen of the doctor, plus the timeless children, plus the morbius doctors, plus war + fugitive BUT FOR SIMPLICITY'S SAKE WE WILL ONLY TLAK AB THE FOURTEEN DOCTORS

so ! first doctor !

heres first !!

i have not watched all the series' involvin first but boy do i adore them . well i like their companions a lot lolsies

first had several companions !

susan foreman, their granddaughter

barbara wright, one of susans school teachers

ian chesterton, another one of susans school teachers

vicki pallister, some teenager first picked up after they left susan

steven taylor, some guy ig

dodo chaplet, another teenage girl adopted by first after vicki left

polly wright, light of my life

ben jackson, naval captain of sorts that was in love w polly

i dont remember why the first doctor regenerated but boy do i love second

!! second doctor !!!

they r literally jus a silly little guy .

most of seconds serials have been lost so theyve been recreated w bits n pieces of remainin content from each serial !!! they look like powerpoint presentations but its okay bc they slay hard enough to b enjoyable

polly n ben carried over into some of seconds run, but they got new companions as well !!!

jamie mccrimmon, scotsman from A While Ago that the doctor definitely dated . source: dude trust me

brigadier lethbridge-stewart, leader of this organization called unit that investigates alien shit

victoria waterfield, teenager from A While Ago that feel in love w jamie i think

zoe heriot, from the future n also fell in love w jamie

second was forced to regenerate by the gallifreyan high council after bein a little too goofy . theyre tardis stopped workin n they were stranded on earth as third . speakin of third

third doctor !!!

for thirds first series, they r unable to use their tardis so they stay on earth n work against alien threats w unit !!!!

brig <3

liz shaw, a scientist forced to work w unit bc it was a "good work experience"

after liz left, thirds tardis got fixed i think n they started travellin again !!! this time they were joined by diff companions lols

jo grant, a bit of an airhead but absolutely beloved

sarah jane smith, journalist who was a stowaway that third later loved <3

harry sullivan, Just Some Guy

i . dont remember why third regenerated AUHDSGJKLSDG

fourth doctor !!!

say hello to arguably the most famous doctor . um . ever !!!

sarah stayed w fourth for a bit before she too finally left . i adore all of fourths companions sooo much

leela, some violent lass

romana i, a time lord that tagged along once lol

romana regenerated into romana ii !!!! i love romana ii . she is so dear to me .

series 18 is where things get a little funky okay . in the latter half, fourth n romana get stuck in an alternate version of space known as e-space . its basically negative coordinates . so theres positive space (n-space) and negative space (e-space) . okay . HERE THEY MEET MY FAVE COMPANION !!!

adric, smartass

eventually fourth left e-space w adric but romana stayed behind . anyway . two more companions after that !!

nyssa, the last trakenite

tegan, angry australian that really needs to get to heathrow

fourth eventually fell to their death n regenerated into MY FAVE DOCTOR !!!!

fifth doctor !!

THEY R SO SILLY N DAD SHAPED . OKAY .

adric n tegan n nyssa stayed w them for a while !! adric became the first major companion to die, but the third companion altogether . nyssa eventually left leavin jus tegan . n then there was one more...

turlough, um....

turlough tried to murder fifth w a rock . but thats not important . eventually tegan left too n then turlough n fifth had a beach episode or whatevs n met....

peri brown, THE GIRL EVER

turlough left n peri n fifth were poisoned which is why fifth had to regenerate :pensive:

sixth doctor !!!

i dont like sixth much .

peri was there until she died !! then there was the trial of a timelord thing which i thought was weird but !!

mel bush, nicest gal ever <3

mel was coachin sixth for the thing for a whileeee . we dont actually have a confirmation on how sixth died but every jus agreed it was the carrot juice tbh

seventh doctor !!!

mel stayed for a series longer w seventh before leaving !!!

ace mcshane, second most memorable companion after sarah jane smith (punk rock lesbian lady)

ace was def the best thing for the show since the fourth doctor tbh but the show still did get cancelled .

there was a tv movie though where the seventh doctor died n regenerated !!!

im not even goin to TRY to explain them here .

ninth doctor !!

um...so...the doctor destroyed gallifrey . killed everyone on the planet . destroyed the rest of their species sans the master (who i will NOT get into here) bc of the time war (against the daleks who i will also not get into here) . they r the first doctor in the revival series n arguable as important to the franchise as a whole as the first doctor, considerin they were the first reboot doctor

ninth only got one series, but the companions were vv memorable <3

rose tyler, middle class earth girl infatuated w the doctor

mickey smith, roses (ex ?) boyfriend

jack harkness, the sluttiest alien ever

adam whatever his last name was, completely borin

in their last episode, rose absorbed the energy of the tardis . ninth had to absorb it from her through a kiss n they couldnt handle that much energy soooo they regenerated !!!

tenth doctor

tenth . whooooo boy okay . um . time lord victorious !!! they were definitely still dealin w the destruction of gallifrey but . yeah .

rose stayed !! they were cute for a bit until rose n mickey got locked in an alternate dimension ^-^

martha jones, doctor infatuated w the doctor

martha was in love w the doctor but they didnt love her back . she is one of the only companions to willingly leave the doctor in the modern series . good for her

donna noble, literally the best

i love donna !!! she was snarky n dumb n smart n the most important woman in the universe . she means everythin to me . she did not need to go out the way she did .

tenth 'died' savin donnas grandfather . thats all ill say ab that

eleventh doctor !!!

i dont HATE eleventh i jus dont like them . um . but their companions do absolute WONDERS for their series' tbh .

amy pond, the girl who waited

rory williams, amys husband

the ponds !!! the ponds n the doctor . the doctor n the ponds . they were a family !!! until the ponds died . um lol

river song, the doctors wife

she's a little hard to explain but ill do my best !! basically . so doc travels forward in time right ? river travels backwards . the first time river met the doctor, the doctor was in their twelfth incarnation . the first time the doctor met river, the doctor was in their tenth incarnation . hopefully that gets the point across . anyway .

clara oswald

i dont like clara much . um . but she sticks around !!

idk why eleventh regenerates n i kinda dont care although their regeneration sequence was really sad :[

twelfth doctor !!

EASILY SECOND FAVE MODERN DOCTOR

anyway . clara dies durin their run which leads to the best episode of modern who: heaven sent . its such a good episode . it drives me to tears .

anwyay !! they become a professor n gain two new companiosn !!!

nardole, somethin indescribable

bill potts, super cool tragic lesbian

i love bill . i love nardole . neither of them deserved this . especially not bill . she gets turned into a cyberman . its terrifyin .

um so twelfths death is a little hard to explain but its the masters fault basically

thirteenth doctor

the writin in this era was dogshit im not even goin to lie to you . i love thirteenth . i think there couldve been so much w them . but . man :/

ryan sinclair, some youtuber guy

graham o'brien, ryan's step grandad

yasmin kahn, holy shit...

ryan n graham leave after a bit . yaz stays . she is in love w the doctor btw . that is vv important . it is also semi-canon .

dan lewis, jus a guy

vinder, man...

bel, vinders wife i think idk but she travels across the galaxy to find him

flux was a series that existed . not good . um .

thirteens 'death' was also caused by the master !!

fourteenth doctor

my lawyer said im no longer allowed to make comments regarding the fourteenth doctor.

[companion-showdown]

Which companion is most likely to wander off?

this tournament was suggested by @a-tad-bit-obsessed a little over a year ago

a penchant for wandering off is a core trait of practically every companion, but who is first out of the starting blocks even when its incredibly dangerous, who cannot stay put no matter how imperative, who can the doctor not afford to let out of their sights?
