To each their own, /chacun a son gout/, YMMV... Everyone has their own
favourite companion(s). In the original series, mine was always Ace;
gotta love a girl who brews her own explosives and does over Daleks with
a baseball bat <g>. In fact, I reckon that should be the qualifying
standard for a companion: can you see this person whacking a Dalek with
a blunt implement?
Post-reboot, they've all been pretty good, though subject to the
incredible vagaries of RTD's writing (okay, not Amy, but the others).
How the man could write utter dreck one week and fantastic, intense
drama the next is almost beyond me...
Meantime, farewell Lis Sladen and Sarah Jane Smith, and thanks for all
the fun we had watching you.
