    I still miss Donna.

    Are those torches I see over the horizon?

    I "agree".

    Why can't we have a long term positive male companion?

    Because the Doctor likes nice young girls to show them that it's bigger on the inside.

    I'm not claiming this is in any way representative of Who viewers as a whole, but my university has a Who fan club (we call ourselves the Society of Gallifreyan Scholars) and the membership is ~75% female.

    I am interested in your society and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I think most of us try to forget Adric. When he dies, you can tell when he dies that all of the characters are thinking 'we have a time machine. We only saw the spaceship crash from the outside - we could go back and rescue him before it does. I really hope no one else thinks of that...'
