Many people don't have someone in their family they would like to model themselves upon. And for some it makes more sense to try to match an ideal rather than a mundane model. The Doctor "makes people better," and Wilf confirmed that about Donna. Trying to be like the Doctor might make other people "better" as well. "In 900 years I've never met someone who wasn't important," "We don't walk away." A lot of people would be better for heeding those words than those of their father and his favorite Russian born writer, or radio host. | |||
While I could certainly imagine a number of woman I would prefer to see in the role before Helena Bonham Carter, I don't see the point in counting female companions as on par with The Doctor. Frankly, until the relatively recent companions, most of the female companions are embarrassing in the way they play a traditional heroine rather than heroic roles. Watch a Classic episode with a teenage girl and see how much respect some of those women get. The point of having a woman play the Doctor is to show that a woman can be the person who can be counted on to save the day just as much as a man can be such a person. That it is who the person is at heart, not just their sexuality, which matters most.[[User:Phil Stone|Phil Stone]] [[User talk:Phil Stone|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:36, September 10, 2013 (UTC) | |||
