You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank.

Riversong didn't impress me at all. In fact... there's really very few people I've been impressed with in New Who. (Save the doctor. The Doctor is still the same old crazy doctor. The snogging is new, but he's still the same old crazy doctor.)

Would you like me to warn you when you DO get RTD nostalgic? Aldy, when I start getting nostalgic for RTD, shoot me; it will be an act of kindness. ;D Agreed with Clocket about the whole Riversong escapade - as I've said elsewhere, it's the first Moffat story I've been kind of disappointed in - I think maybe partly because things like Blink had built up his reputation to epic proportions - it's hard to live up to the hype sometimes. My dislike of Jenny has nothing to do with Georgia Moffett or her performance - Jenny as a character was actually quite likeable in many ways. It's more to do with the whole concept - if the Doctor is going to have a (spoiler - highlight to read) daughter, then I'd want it to come about in some sort of suitably epic way, maybe shedding some light on some of the mysterious Gallifreyan backstory - not created in a completely throwaway manner by some silly machine in the silliest episode of Season 4. And the Doctor's instant bonding with her was just...well, just daft, really. Characters I've liked in NuWho - Rose, at first, but she gradually annoyed me into not liking her as time went on. Captain Jack (provided you don't watch him in Torchwood, as it has a similar effect)... Mickey always amuses me, and also makes me feel sorry for him sometimes. Donna was really the opposite to Rose - I started out not wanting to like her, but she grew on me. And I suppose Martha was perfectly good, too, if her pining after Ten got irritating after a bit. I don't remember Romana being so pathetic, and I mean, her and Four were practically married...

Yea... forgot about that. Rose had some very good episodes in the beginning, but she got worse as time went on. I saw her last episode first. I was like "HUH? What is this show?" Then Aldy got me to like it. *cough*youtube*cough* is where I saw most of my rose episodes.

Like I said, the only things that I like about New Who are the Doctor and his stories. The stories have improved. The other characters and the majority of his companions quite utterly blow. (But that's just me. I know people think otherwise.)
Donna wasn't that great until the very end. She looked lost and confused for the first part of season four. (Though her performance in "The Runaway Bride" was great.)

Donna is a great companion. Martha was okay, rose sucked to say in the very least. Classic who companions are much more interesting as characters. I loved them.

Hmmm... you can't paint them all together though, for Mel is a Classic companion, and ALL of the NuWho companios beat her, in pretty much every department.

You're right. Mel wasn't a good companion in my opinion. But you get my point.

Are you going to react like this EVERY time we happen to bring her up?

It's a realistic possibility, yes. I've been rather traumatized with that banshee-wail of hers.

Who hasn't? I put it on mute every time she screamed.

Strangely though, she's tolerable in the audio adventures... O.o
my thoughts are that she was told that she would ave to pay for any equipment she damaged with that banshee yowl of hers and kept it down.

So her real scream would result in the cast and crew rolling about on the ground as seen in "Delta and the Bannermen".
