Companions
I've added Brian, Nefertiti, and John Riddell to the "companions" list. I have mutliple reasons why:
- The Doctor states that they are all in his "group," meaning he almost strait out calls them companions.
- They all fit the requirements for companions. They travelled with him just as much as Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza did.
- Brian, in perticular, is shown to have gone on futher adventures with the Doctor afterwards (In the form of a postcard)
- John Riddell states that he has met the Doctor before.
- Nefertiti travelled in the TARDIS willingly with the Doctor, no diffrent from anyone else who snuck aboard, like Zoe Heriot.
- They are no less companions then Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza.
- I said that one twice becuase it was important.
if anyone disagrees, we can discuss it here. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:05, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
- Being part of a group does not make you a companion, IMO. Being a companion implies a longer-term relationship than a single adventure.
- I still contest Brooke or de Souza being companions. I know that the BBC calls them companions, but we don't have an in-universe source confirming that. De Souza never even stepped in the TARDIS--some companion. Brooke didn't travel with the Doctor; he just took her on a single trip to rescue her life.
- You have a good point with Brian further travelling with the Doctor, although it seems more like sight-seeing than saving the day with the Doctor. And do we know for sure he was with the Doctor, instead of travelling by himself?
- Riddell is an adventurer--a "companion" who doesn't travel with the Doctor, but shares an adventure with him, like Brooke or de Souza.
- Again, Nefertiti is an adventurer.
- Again, Brooke and de Souza are not companions.
- I would actually advocate using or coming up with terms to clarify "companions" like Riddell, Nefertiti, Brooke, and de Souza. We already distinguish between single-adventure, short-term, and long-term companions. So why not use a different term to describe people who share adventures with the Doctor, without necessarily travelling with him? --Bold Clone 02:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
