Doctor Who In Thirty Days - Day 5
Day 05 - Your Favorite Companion
Sarah Jane Smith, because honestly, she's beautiful. She was beautiful then and she's even better now and god I wished my creepy neighbour growing up had been her, and that I'd got to explore the world and had alien adventures... but anyway...
I want to pretend I'm indecisive about this one, but honestly, for the longest time, since I was a tiny little person, this has been the easiest question for me to answer.
Lets be honest, there companions in 'classic who' weren't always a lot of chop.
Most of the time they were just there to be pretty and yell 'Doctor, help me' when something bad happened, or 'What's happening Doctor?' when the script needed exposition. And I guess Sarah Jane did a lot of that as well, in her time, but by the time she and the fourth Doctor were hanging out you felt that there was a genuine relationship between them, that they cared about each other and that Sarah could, on occasion, do things on her own.
She was the most kick-ass of all the companions (and I say that knowing others could argue it, and also because little!Nat never got a chance to see Ace, because the Seventh Doctor serials always seemed to be forgotten by the ABC in repeats).
So the answer was never that hard. Donna's arrival on the scene has complicated matters, because she is just made of awesome and I love her with everything I am.
But in the end, SJ has to win out over even Donna because I have adored her since I was a very small person.
