S4

[mrv3000]

Looks like they made some announcement that Martha will be popping back up in the latter part of S4 (Jack-like?), which sounds cool. Like I've said in past posts, I'm more interested in Martha now than when she was with the Doctor.

And I guess the new companion's going to be announced tomorrow or something. I've heard rumors of someone making an appearance for the Christmas special - but just for one episode - like Donna. But thinking about the new S4 companion...

I *know* that Doctor Who is all about change, blah blah blah. But can I just say that I'm extremely "MEH" about having to go through the whole "bigger on the inside," "T-A-R-D-I-S," "I'm a Time Lord, last of my kind," etc. etc. for the *third time* in four years? So much of S3 felt like repeating things already (not to mention actual repeated lines from S1 and S2 - WTF was that all about, Rusty?), and...here we go again, I guess. Whee? I think it's gonna be hard for me to keep my interest level up.

*crosses fingers for purse-wielding granny or Time Kitten but knows we're gonna get some attractive young female to pull in the male rating*

Yeah, I know what you mean. Since RTD has said before that he could write "introduction to the TARDIS" scenes all day long, I have a feeling we're stuck with some more of them. But I am hopeful that s4 won't be another retread . . . 'cause that would just be really really really stupid, rather than the moderately stupid we've seen up to this point.

*sobs*

Of course, he's ditching Who at the end of S4, so he'll probably only get one more. Unless he has the Doctor go on a friending spree... Which could be damn amusing.

No more cut-and-paste, please!

Oh, MAN. That sucks. Someone please edit Rusty. Sheez.

Oh, pretty please. Please let the new companion have no interest whatsoever in Ten (skinny guys aren't her type, please god), for them to just be buds, and for her to be willing to whack him upside the head when it needs doing. That'd be so nice.

Ha! Maybe the Doctor will pick up a companion between the Christmas special and the start of S4 and he/she/it will already be there, and thusly already have covered the whole hoopela.

Or, barring that, the Doctor could hand him/her/it a list of Key Facts:

-Yes, it is bigger on the inside. Try not to freak out.
-Alien. 900-years-old. Last of Time Lords. It's a thing.
-Don't bother with an unrequited crush. My one true love is in a parallel universe. I sometimes get emo about it. Just turn on Snow Patrol and ignore me.
-It's called psychic paper. Alien technology. You wouldn't understand.
-I get depressed at the words "Gallifrey," "Rose," and now "Master." Just... avoid them. And don't ask.

Mwah! It'll be like Mel, who just kinda appeared! :D

I think that while Martha's visiting Jack at Torchwood (apparently), she and he should come up with a book titled "Things The Doctor's Companion Should Absolutely Know." And then Martha calls the Doctor up on the pretext of her leaving something behind on the TARDIS, and she leaves the book somewhere the next companion can find it. It's so necessary, at this point.

hehe you sound exactly like me and Nick last night after watching the finale.

In fact it's almost eery how similar how conversation was to yours.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I mean, yeah, that's the way of Who, but I'm not sure if it's that I expect more originality out of stories now or what. But at this moment it's a MEH. We're gonna have to go through the whole Time War reveal again and everything. It's like Gridlock - round and round we go.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

I am so completely uninterested in any new companion right now, or in Martha coming back. I'm in it for Ten, period. If Martha isn't too annoying, and the new companion isn't too annoying, well, I'll put up with them. Otherwise, meh.

*crosses fingers for purse-wielding granny or Time Kitten but knows we're gonna get some attractive young female to pull in the male rating*

*snerk* Yeah, I wish we could have a cute guy to pull in the female rating. :-) Or both, even. A couple would be nice.

[debs7.livejournal.com]

At this precise moment in time, I'm over Doctor Who! Not even Ten can keep me interested.

The finale sucked so much I'm gutted by it.

Time Kitten, man! It could hiss at things! And claw the hell out of that bloody Dalek that's running around! And it could nap on the Doctor's lap! Who can be emo when there's a kitten napping on your lap?

I'm thinking they probably figure that DT covers the female rating... :D

A couple could be a lot of fun. Sally and Larry! And with a couple, they could *still* have the Doctor go all emo to their heart's desire! "I used to hold hands once... *stares off into the distance*" "Um, you want us to go somewhere else?"

I'm...I know I'm easily amused, but I don't mind another introduction, another new companion, all that stuff. I've got booze and fanfic if I start to feel like bashing my head against a wall with the next season, though. Like if they start repeating exact lines again.

But if the Doctor makes a quick hop to New New Earth to take on the Cassini sisters and a kitten, I will be pleased. *nods*

I may feel different after the distance of a year. Right now I'm thinking...ugh. Redundancy. But hey, there should be a repeated line drinking game. It'd be so simple. And everyone would be *plastered* by the end of episodes.

YES!

Oh, that would be fab, wouldn't it? They'd all keep him in line very nicely. Heh.

My interest in S3 only piqued with Jack's return, before that I stuck to clip and would even forget when an episode was on. I think Martha has potential and did some awesome stuff and I do plan to watch all of S3 this summerr, but she really didn't grab me like Rose, Jack, Mickey and other companions have. The Master and Lucy interested me more to be honest. So I am not sure if another cast change will do that for me. But it might. I get the impression Martha was more of a transition character.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I guess I need to keep an open mind. Next series (and even the Christmas episode) is a long way off. I'll probably be more in the mood by then.

*votes Time Kitten*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Time Kitten would rule all.

[ramdonomo.livejournal.com]

I heard that the Christmas companion was gonna be Kylie Minogue or however you spell it.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd heard that one as well. Guess we'll have to see how good that rumor was.

[katesutton.livejournal.com]

I wanna join Team Time Kitten. Nothing would be better than a kitten to clutch in his bouts of Rose!Gallifrey!Master! angst.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

And the kitten wouldn't even mind being clutched! Well, mostly. But a bit of food and a scritch under the chin and all would be well again. Oh, and for the kitten too.

GIP!

Here's a blank, cos I don't have any interesting fonts on my computer at the moment...

[starlightmoonla.livejournal.com]

I would love it if the new companion were someone that already knew about The Doctor and the TARDIS as well. It would cut out all of the repetitive information seen in series 1 and 3. I also hope that the next companion isn't someone who'll fall for the Doctor, we've been there and we've done that.

Who knows what RTD has in mind in what could be his, and possible Tennant's, last year in the series. -_-"

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Guess we'll just have to wait and see. And then hope. *crosses fingers*

[elaminen.livejournal.com]

Have you heard/read? Martha is going to be in Torchwood as well as the latter half of S4. Sounds.. interesting.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, saw she'll be in Torchwood as well. :)
