Have these freaks constantly on my mind

I personally think Doctor Who needs more cryptid episodes. But not, like, famous cryptids. We're past that.
I want weird. I want obscure. I want an entire 45-minute episode where the Doctor lands in Fresno, steps out of the TARDIS, and just goes:
“…what the hell is that.”
Cue two legs with no torso just... scootin’ across a field.
The Doctor: “Are those… sentient pants?”
Companion: “Are they attacking?”
The Doctor: “No, they’re just vibing. But the vibes are off.”

i know most people dont care unless its the usa but its my country and i must speak about it
the current president has been president for the past 25 years, by the way. i have never witnessed a different presidential regime. if you cant do anything, atleast raise awareness on it.
the students are being sent to prison while killers and rapists go free with no consequences, students are being attacked with water but when the grand kartal hotel in bolu burned down and 78 people died they 'werent able to do anything' (they arrived an entire hour after the fire occured).

Who is your favourite companion?
Propaganda
Polly Wright
- the second Doctor's original #1 supporter! the first to believe in him as the Doctor through his first ever regeneration when he himself wasn't sure if he was still the Doctor. ""don't listen to him Doctor I know who you are."" + ""you did it, you landed the tardis exactly where you meant to!"" (he had not). kidnapped Jamie. (yep, polly wright, not the Doctor, is in fact the one responsible for Jamie's presence in the tardis! because she fucking kidnapped him!) literally so selfish and I fucking love her for it. wants to steal that one guy's service dinosaur in audio ""the Curator's Egg"", disappointed when the Doctor says no, reacts by (see above) KIDNAPPING JAMIE the next place they go. Does a really great job at playing the part of everything a woman is excpected to be in 1966; nurturing caring supportive makes and serves the tea.... but chafes at it underneath. LOVES tardis travel because she's free. the first to match the second Doctor's FREAK and she does it every minute of every day, beat for beat. because shes the same kind of freak herself
Steven Taylor
- He suffers so much I want him thrown out the window!!! He’s see all his friends die in front of him and is constantly getting tortured and being hurt. He should be shot in the face and survive I love him so much!!!
- What if there was a man who could never win. What if there was a man who had so much love in his heart but nobody to give it to because they all kept dying. What if there was a man who was such a bitch. What if he was mentally ill. And bisexual. And missing 28 episodes. And did I mention that everyone around him is constantly dying. This is Steven Taylor. I haven't made it past the first doctor's era because I got too attached to him and sobbed and wailed when he left. He's a single mother (to dodo) he's a big brother (to vicki) he's a wifeguy (to sara) he hates his fucking grandpa (the doctor). I'm shaking (@abominandus )

Who is your favourite companion?
Propaganda
Jamie McCrimmon
- He's the longest running companion (113 episodes!), the original companion with romantic tension with the Doctor, loyal as can be, on the same footing with the doctor despite being an 18th century highlander, he wears a kilt in space, and he was so devoted to the Doctor that he had to be forced away and have his memory erased, and the Doctor had to be grounded, for his run to end. Also really just watch a video of them they're so gay
- What can I even say. It's Jamie Mccrimmon. He never would have chosen to leave the doctor, he's the doctor's most loyal companion. He's so Scottish and I love it! Always wears his kilt, gets excited when he hears bagpipe music and sees the Scottish Highlands on the Tardis screen, speaks Gàidhlig, what's not to love. (@gothicacetheatrekid )
- Jamie is the longest running companion in all of Doctor Who. He is arguably the doctor’s first best friend and has been haunting the narrative ever since his departure in 1969 (even in 2024 “Boom” he is referenced!! The 10th doctor uses his name in s2e2, and the doctor-turned-master in s13 plays the skyeboat song, which only became a huge part of Doctor who because of Jamie, who was a Jacobite! Several classic doctors meet/reference Jamie in tv and extended universe media, and if you’re an I, TARDIS fan you’ll find Jamie’s entry is the only one where it’s explicitly referenced that Doctor - and the TARDIS! - loved him). He is a very complex character, who might be dismissed but is much more intelligent than he is given credit for. He’s brave and kind. He has a huge fan theory that gained enough traction to become canon through tv stories and audios - “s6b” - in which he works with the Doctor under time lord supervision. He came into the show at its most crucial watershed, the first regeneration, and impacted so much of what we consider core to doctor who today through his friendship with the second doctor. He’s a companion from the past who is quick to learn and adapt, and was the first companion who wanted to join the tardis AND never wanted to leave, until he was forcibly removed. Jamie was with the doctor for pretty much his whole second body, and Doctor who would not be what it is today without Jamie.
Romana I
- I LOVEEEEE ROMANAAAAA!!!! Shes so green and haughty when she comes to the TARDIS but grows and learns while never letting the Doctor get away with anything!! Her eyebrows could write NOVELS. Her all white aesthetic makes her one of the most striking companions of all time in my opinion. Also I couldnt find the clip by itself but in her first episode, The Ribos Operation, my absolute fave Romana moment: https://youtu.be/O6J6xYB030s?si=4cbrzBsLJvvEGl3N at about 15:10 of the video, her and the Doctor discuss her name and she wants to be called Fred 🤣🤣🤣 THE OG GENDER NONCONFORMING TIME LORD

There’s a fandom joke about the Waterloo digression not mattering to Les Mis, but I really love how all of Volume 2 takes place in its shadow. It’s strongly emphasized how everything is happening in the wake of these massive conflicts and wars.
The Ship Orion, where Jean Valjean is working as a convict, is a warship being used in the Spanish invasion. Now that Napoleon has been defeated, the French monarchy is sending their army to Spain to help violently assert the divine rights of the Spanish kings. The republic is dead, the empire is dead, and now it seems that monarchy will control France (and Europe) for a very long time.
The way that Madeleine “falls” and his town collapses without him feels like an echo of the fall of Napoleon.
Then, we reach “The Seargant of Waterloo” inn— where Thenardier has built his entire life on leeching off the legacy of Waterloo.
He made his initial fortune robbing the corpses at the battlefield, and now boasts/lies about having been a brave sergeant of Napoleon who rescued a general. He seems to worship violence and is desperate to enrich himself by exploiting anyone he can; he has all of Napoleon’s negative qualities, without any of his positive ones. Victor Hugo once insulted Napoleon III (the guy who exiled him) by calling him “Napoleon the Small”— and Thenardier feels like he could be a reference to that.
Outside of Thenardier we see other patrons of the inn talking about the Spanish wars, Napoleonic soldiers going to a fair to see a bird with coloration that reminds them of the tricolor flag, etc etc etc.
There’s this constant feeling of ordinary people existing under the shadows of this massive war, and its really fascinating to read!

You know, I think Five & Nyssa & Tegan & Adric as a tardis team worked incredibly well. This is not a popular opinion.
However I am also of the opinion that Nyssa, Tegan, and Adric were all incredibly good companions and there isn't really a weak link amongst the three of them and that's also not a popular opinion.
Those are probably connected. Not really going anywhere with this. Just saw some posts raising (valid) criticisms against Five/Nyssa/Tegan/Adric and wanted throw my two cents out there
