I must admit I find Five/Tegan (as in the pairing but unromantic, if that works) quite refreshing, how they always seem to argue and the fact that Tegan just is a mouth on legs - she says what she wants to, it's annoying, but it keeps the Doctor grounded, as well as an excellent excuse for techno-babble when he explains stuff to her! Maybe that's why I like Turlough - him and the Doctor aren't perfectly companions. I mean, you know they're gonna be a bit hostile to each other at some point but that doesn't stop Five/Turlough 4EVA OTP!!! and that just gives a bit of a real-life aspect to it. And another thing, with Five/Turlough... *babbles on*
I reckon there are so few 'further on' companions because they are so difficult to write. I mean, people might think iPods and even LJ are modern, but with the rate things move, nothing's future-proof, so when people do write far into the future things, they risk being laughed at later on, which cannot be a good initiative. Still, Hex seems to be working, and Jack definitely is, so maybe things will be start to look up? I do like the more historical companions though, and I'm really warming to Jamie. and Two/Jamie.
I thought Turlough was from Trion? or is that still Gallifrey? And I must find out more about Frobisher!
I can't say I get the little red cookbook link, but do you mind if I grow a beard and march with you?
*checks list* "Watch Old-Skool Who" is no. 2 on my list, but to be fair, no. 1 is "read books" so I think I can do both at the same time, although not simultaneously if you get what I mean. It's top of my mental list anyway. Oh dear, that makes me sound obsessedweirdstrange bad...
