[[David Campbell]], [[Samantha Briggs]], [[Marco Polo]], [[Bret Vyon]] and other, more obscure characters, like ones from "[[The Keys of Marinus]]", have now gotten upgraded to single adventure companions of their respective Doctors. can we get a consensus for/against this? to me it really does seem like stretching the definition of companion (and beyond) its utmost limits.--[[Special:Contributions/24.61.10.36|24.61.10.36]]<sup>[[User talk:24.61.10.36#top|talk to me]]</sup> 22:41, January 30, 2012 (UTC) | [[David Campbell]], [[Samantha Briggs]], [[Marco Polo]], [[Bret Vyon]] and other, more obscure characters, like ones from "[[The Keys of Marinus]]", have now gotten upgraded to single adventure companions of their respective Doctors. can we get a consensus for/against this? to me it really does seem like stretching the definition of companion (and beyond) its utmost limits.--[[Special:Contributions/24.61.10.36|24.61.10.36]]<sup>[[User talk:24.61.10.36#top|talk to me]]</sup> 22:41, January 30, 2012 (UTC) | ||
