Racetrack fic, spoilers for 4.4: http://lint138.livejournal.com/231967.html

You know one of the things I hate most from newskool Who? It's this idea that women meet the Doctor and then forevermore are hollow shells without him.

You know what I'd like to see in the new series?

Like... any of the old male companions, in exactly the same sort of predicament.

Or, you know, Ace kicking ass and not being 'hollow' at all.

Jack's already been shown to be. Just cos they cut the "You too, huh?" line to Martha in the U.S. edition. *seethes*

I meant the old ones, old ones ;) Along the lines of Sarah Jane in School Reunion. Though she's a sort of... anomaly when it comes to characterization.

Ah. I could never get into oldskool!Who. Not sure why.

It's a bit camp and the effects leave a lot to be desired?

I love Old School, but acknowledge it's now sort of an acquired taste to modern audiences.

Heh. That and I think not only was it a bit too British for my younger mindset, but you always seemed to be coming in the middle of a story. Irritating, that.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

Heheh. And me, growing up (or, even now) there is no such thing as 'too British'.

*shrugs* What can I say...I have room for improvement, apparently. *g*

Everyone does. After all, my Anglophile tendencies end up with me watching things that get very long, funny looks from my roommates. (Life on Mars, The Mighty Boosh, that sort of thing)

I'm sure any of the males who show up will not have been hollow without the Doctor.

Jack doesn't count, he's bi.

Alas, you're probably right.
