Rita Jalal: Difference between revisions

* Since ''Doctor Who'' returned to television in 2005, each Doctor has encountered at least one female character who charms him to the extent that he offers her the chance to be a companion, only to have her die soon after. The [[Ninth Doctor]] invited [[Lynda Moss|Lynda "with a Y" Moss]] in ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]'' shortly before she was killed by the [[Dalek]]s; the [[Tenth Doctor]] invited [[Madame de Pompadour]] to join him in ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace]]'' and [[Astrid Peth]] ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'' — but both died before either could start travelling with him. [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]], the Doctor's biological daughter as a result of rapid cell cloning, was also set to travel with her father before she took a bullet from [[Cobb (The Doctor's Daughter)|Cobb]] which was meant for the Doctor. Although she did not die, this knowledge was not possessed by the Doctor, so he left her. Clara Oswald was asked as well, but died. This, however, is debatable, because Clara later travelled with the Doctor in a different incarnation. The [[Twelfth Doctor]] offered this chance to [[Osgood (The Day of the Doctor)|Osgood]] in the [[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Season 8 finale]], before her death at the hands of {{Gomez}}.
