the brilliant Toshiko Sato made a cameo posing as a physician. Do you think she would have made a good companion for the Doctor? If so, which Doctor would you pair her with?
Who's writing this--Davies or Moffat? :)

Tosh is brilliant, a little too brilliant and too emotionally honest, therefore vulnerable to travel with someone as wounded and abrasive as Ten was. I can see her with Nine-before he meets Rose-- but I also imagine Tosh leaving as Romana or Liz Shaw did to pursue her interest. However, of the three NU Who, Doctors, I would say Tosh would be wonderful with Eleven, with the right team of people. I see Toshiko more as UNIT personnel, or a friend/colleague of River's.

Moffat seems to think --see his statement about age limits for Companions--women over forty have the sex appeal of cold dinner rolls.

I disagree. This is the man that cast Alex Kingston as River Song.

Hard to say if Tosh would have made a good companion for the Doctor. I mean Nine seemed interested in potentially adding someone else to the TARDIS -- see: Lynda-with-a-y (who I honestly loved more than Rose) -- but Rose was so territorial about the Doctor, I think it would only end up badly unfortunately ( ... )
