Gems of Memory

I share your love for Donna, Ian and Barbara, Jo, Rory, the Brigadier, and Sarah Jane (I do think she's a bit overrated in terms of everyone insisting that she's the best companion of all time, but I still like her a lot). Tegan I found really whiny at first but once I got used to her I kind of liked her. Basically I love it anytime a companion dares to question the Doctor's almighty wisdom and is willing to argue with him or disagree with him about something. I feel like Tegan and Donna share a lot of traits actually, it's just that I find Donna to be more fun and entertaining and her relationship with the Doctor is so much more friendly than Tegan's. I don't know but I feel like half the time Five didn't even seem to like his companions that much. Nyssa was pretty much the only one he got along with all of the time. Adric I don't particularly like, but I don't hate him nearly as much as a lot of people seem to. I thought he got along better with Four than Five though and I would have liked to see more episodes with just the two of them or the two of them and Romana. Peri I do find to be quite annoying but I guess she's not that bad. I do like how she'll stand up to anyone and speak her mind. The way she treated the Master in Planet of Fire was pretty great. I've heard that she's better in the audios too. And I share your Rose hatred. I don't like her at all and I despise the Rose/Doctor/Mickey love triangle. It makes me sad and really angry. Everyone is such an asshole to poor Mickey, seriously what the hell! I'm not a huge River Song fan either. Sometimes I like her alright, but sometimes she's annoying. Mainly I just don't like her story line and how it turned season six into a complete mess, yeah I have issues with season six. And I hate companions being in love with the Doctor. I'm so not looking forward to Clara already for that reason, sigh. Can we just please have Donna back? Oh, and Hex and Frobisher sound awesome. I bet I'd like them. Are they just in the audios or are they in any of the past doctor novels?
