Howling:Mels: Difference between revisions

I don't think they really made it work the first time around. Turlough isn't exactly the most popular companion in history. (There's a reason we didn't see another male companion until Adam in 2005, or a full-time one until Rory in 2011. Although of course Turlough's predecessor deserves as much blame for that as him…) In an interview, Moffat called the Turlough/Black Guardian story arc a low point in what was otherwise the best era of the series, and went on to use it as an example of how not to do a long-running arc. ("The same scene over and over every week is not an arc. And if you must do the same thing over and over, don't have a character call attention to it by constantly growling, 'This time you must do it!'") Personally, I don't think it was nearly as bad as that, and it did set up for some interesting later development in the 5-Turlough and Tegan-Turlough relationships, but I don't see Moffat taking any pointers from it…--[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 04:25, September 6, 2011 (UTC)
