Talk:The Sontaran Ordeal (audio story)

Jask as a Companion

Based on my listening to The Sontaran Ordeal, it is my opinion that because of Jask's involvement in stopping the Sontarans and , while starting off as a villain, becoming loyal to the Doctor, even putting his own life at risk to save the Doctor and Saranna, this makes him a companion. Feel free to argue with me on this point. ?Mr Badger Lol? 23:23, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

I'll just pop my input here before I head to bedlem. BF's Website have stated that Jask is a one-off companion. - Sir DENCH-and-PALMER ☎ 23:29, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

Well, Jask has constantly refused to call the Eighth Doctor and Sarana "allies", and the Doctor did not fully trust him through the story (as a matter of fact, neither did Sarana). He only began trusting Jask when he realised Stipe and Stenk were a somewhat "common enemies". But, as soon as the Doctor "served his purposes", Jask betrayed him.

The only reason Jask kept working with the Doctor and Sarana was so he could expose Stipe and Stenk orders, which let to unecessary (on his point of view, unhonoured) Sontaran deaths. He did not do what he did to help the Doctor. He seeked to help himself, and himself only. This is made even clearer with the fact that he tells Sarana that the Doctor is a Time Lord, knowing she wouldn't fully trust (and like) the Doctor anymore. Also, where in Big Finish's site is it stated that Jask is a companion? I couldn't find it anywhere. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:22, December 22, 2016 (UTC)
