ooc; Calling all informants!

Aug 06, 2008 14:24

So, as we all know, I've been forced talked into doing the TARDIS' views on the Doctor's harem companions. Unfortunately, I am not completely knowledgeable of all those who have travelled with him, as I've not seen all of Classic Who (I'm working on it, though!) A few of you expressed interest in helping me fill in the gaps for some of these ( Read more... )

God, Zoe is one of my favorite companions. She talks to computers using an algoritmic language (in the Invasion), though she never seems to talk to the TARDIS. She does work with the TARDIS, reading numbers and pulling switches and such. She's an immensely clever girl, if not always the brightest.

She relates to the Doctor as one might a very eccentric uncle. She fancies Jamie, but everybody does so that's okay. When they land in new places, she sort of sighs, makes a comment about never landing where they plan (they almost never do and at one point took a rocket to the moon because the TARDIS wouldn't make such a short hop), and then goes "Oh, stop complaining, Jamie!" and then bounds forward. In the Mind Robber the Master of the Land of Fiction put an image of her home world on the scanner which made her defy the Doctor and leave the TARDIS without permission, which is really the only time I can think she defied the Doctor in regards to the TARDIS.

Zoe views time travel as an educational experience, like walking through a living museum. She's always very excited, thinking that new and unusual things are beautiful.

Zoe also has a Donna Noble history with the Doctor---the Time Lords wiped hers and Jamie's minds of the time on the TARIS at the end of the War Games.

EDIT: OH YEAH! She's also from the future! All the way from the year 2000!

This is seriously awesomely helpful, thank you so much! It's exactly what I was looking for. (And also makes me want more Two serials like woah ; ; I'm familiar with Jamie because of The Two Doctors and discussing him with others, but sadly no one else.)

...I also sporfled at the 2000 bit. Oh Doctor Who.

Jamie is the best. He's just so fun.

The Mind Robber is my favorite Two serial. It's Zoe, Jamie, and a whole lot of fictional characters! Though, it's impossible to beat out this line in the Invasion for the best-line-of-all-time award.

Jamie: Doctor.
Doctor: Yes, Jamie?
Jamie: What happens if the lift starts working before we get to the top [of the shaft]?
Doctor: Oh, well, that's easy, Jamie. We get squashed. Come along.

I've heard such good things about The Mind Robber and I really need to get my grubby paws on it.

Ohgosh, I think I just scared a co-worker reading that exchange. What is it with people making me die of laughter at work today? (Which is totally a good thing, mind.)
