Sorry but none of these answers really helps to answer my question. Yes you mention astrid and madame de pompadour but they died before they got to go with the doctor? Why? No offence to these companions but why didn't Martha or rose die instead? They were in dangerous situations as well but somehow they survived? I would just like now that we are 8 years into the revived series to see an obviously alien looking companion from an alien world and that they are found on that world. Not on earth in any point in its history. --[[User:Coop3|Coop3]] [[User talk:Coop3|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:28, October 20, 2013 (UTC) | Sorry but none of these answers really helps to answer my question.

Because that's the story. First you've got to understand that the Doctor doesn't "go looking" for companions he acquires them during the course of his adventuring. Remember also that the story doesn't being with the Doctor, it begins with Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. They end up going with the Doctor and then he ends up stuck with them. In that time he gained an affinity with them and a growth in his affection for humanity. Humans are easy, the jobs already been done. The story is supposed to be a human story from a human position, that's why it begins with Ian and Barbara that's why they discover him first. It the story of the human relationship with this spectacular, enigmatic character who is far greater than them and they no absolutely nothing about. Only very rarely do they stray from that plot.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:49, October 21, 2013 (UTC) | |||
