LOL. Yes, I can see why that would please you *g*. :) The only thing that's annoying is that I can't *use* any of this in that 'verse. Ah well.
I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I do like your thoughts on Adelaide. The podcast is lovely, and also explains things like 'how come that there's all that *fire* on Mars? Surely that's impossible...'
marrying Queen Elizabeth WTF?? The first one I assume! (though actually that could explain a heck of a lot about the current british royal family!) I'm clearly going to have to track down children in need, aren't I. I did look yesterday morning when you posted, and it wasn't up yet. But it's probably everywhere this morning! Youtube, here I come.
Your thoughts about Adelaide make good sense. I haven't hung out in the who-forums too much (those people are scary! I thought the Spike redemption wars/ spuffy vs bangel vs spander vs spangel etc ship wars were vicious. But Yikes!) but I get the idea that "companion" is a very specific title. People argue who fits; I had no idea Adelaide was being called a companion.

I'm clearly going to have to track down children in need, aren't I. Yes. Yes you are. It is made of SO MUCH WIN!
Your thoughts about Adelaide make good sense. Thanks, I'm glad you think so.

People argue who fits; I had no idea Adelaide was being called a companion. Well I'd say that both Astrid and Christina could be counted as in a companion-in-the-making, since they both wanted to travel with the Doctor. Adelaide was doing her own travelling. (I think 'companion' is being used a lot as shorthand for 'female that the Doctor bonds with during the ep'.)
(here from who_daily) I like your thoughts! I hadn't actually put much thought into WoM yet beyond oh, Doctor, no/of course, but my first instinct would have been to call her a companion, as shorthand for major character running around with the Doctor, as you point out in comments. But your thoughts strike me as absolutely right, as give much more significance to what I thought of as just a throwaway line (of hilarity) meant only as a continuity nod to Shakespeare Code. Of course he goes from WoM to butting heads with the laws of time.
Anyway, yes, have nothing to add, enjoyed reading this. :)

That's generally the way the show works, the problem of course being that Adelaide is from the future... we don't refer to Dickens as a companion f.ex. ;)

Well my first reaction upon hearing that line was just pure glee, but once I began thinking about it, things fell into place.
Of course he goes from WoM to butting heads with the laws of time. He stepped over the line, and despite everything I think he really enjoys being on the wrong side. I love how he's so very Doctor-ish in the preview snippet, and yet just that tiny bit off. Like he's in the wrong key.

It's so wonderfully random, isn't it? (My own reason for loving is that I have an OC called Allison!)
