Dr. Grace Holloway

Jun 30, 2008 17:52

Dr. Grace Holloway usually doesn't top many popular companion lists, probably because the TV movie isn't exactly well-loved. I didn't think it was too bad, and really enjoyed McGann and Dr. Grace Holloway, who I feel is definitely underrated. So, I hope you enjoy my spotlight on the amazing Grace Holloway (oh, Fox, you and your puns).

Thank you! Grace is awesome and definitely underrated, I think. :)

I love Grace for all the reasons you mentioned. For the flimsy-plotted TVM, Grace got solid character development and Daphne Ashbrook gives a good performance. I love the contrast of Grace's maturity and Eight's playfulness, and wish she had more adventures.

I think Grace got a solid character arc too, especially considering it's a 90 minute movie. She was definitely a great companion for Eight and if Fox weren't so greedy, we would've had some more adventures. *kicks Fox*

eee, Grace! I love her. The ultimate Grace moment is indeed made of win. Thanks for the recs, I rarely come across anything with her.

I adore her too! I love how nonchalant she is about saving the Universe. xD Those fics are ones I found on Teaspoon that I remember reading and enjoying. There are other ones up there as well that I haven't gotten around to reading, but if you do a search for Grace they'll come up! :D

Very nice post, and I agree-- Grace had plenty of moxy. ;)

Thank you! And she totally did. ;D

Excellent post! I've always been very fond of Grace and wished she'd had more adventures (silly Fox).

I also adore how the Doctor is telling her how the Tardis works and she interjects and finishes his sentence because she already gets it.
This is one of my favourite Grace moments, along with her "You come with me!" line--and I *love* the scene where she's running through the hospital corridor in her opera gown, with stocking feet and carrying her shoes.

Good fic recs, as well! There really needs to be more Grace fic.

I love your icon! :3

You'd think after 12 years Fox would let go of the rights! xD I wish she could've had some more adventures.

I love when she's running down the corridor too; she looks so elegant (and pulls off aqua, which is cool).
