Well, Rose got on with Ten very well, and the classic companions all got on well with a different regeneration of the Doctor than they started out with (er...I'm not so sure about Six and Peri, since she was rather shy and Six was pretty loud...and Tegan/Nyssa/Adric barely had time to get to know Four before he regenerated). And Amy had a great time constantly making fun of Eleven and yelling at him when he did stupid shit (*cough* The Beast Below *cough*), so it's not a stretch to say Donna wouldn't have as well.

But yeah -- Donna and Ten were really uniquely well-suited for each other, given their specific strengths and weaknesses. And I seriously doubt Ten would have gone into meltdown during the specials if he hadn't lost Donna.

AYRT

I don't disagree exactly but I don't totally agree either... but I'm to tired right now (and possibly feverish) to come up with a more coherent explanation for why ...

da

Well, you know, there IS precedent for a companion having a *good* relationship with a second Doctor, but being best with their first Doctor. For example, Seven and Mel were good together, but Mel with her shrillness and bossiness was always best suited to Six. She was really Six's girl. She was the one who could cut through his blustering and get him to drink his carrot juice, metaphorically speaking, and she didn't need to do that anymore with Seven.

I'd also argue that Rose was better suited to Nine than to Ten. Not that she had a bad relationship with Ten at all, they loved each other very much and got along very well, but I think Nine and Rose complimented each other better.

Not everything is black-and-white, all bad or all good and no flexibility or variation in between. It's not all that different from any other stories where one member of a duo goes through dramatic character development -- the friendship changes too.

And on the flip side: I can't imagine Tegan or Turlough with Four (yes, Tegan was in one episode with four, but... well, it was only one); their brash personalities worked a lot better with the more mellow Five. This is especially the case given that they were on the show together. TWO companions like that with Four... O_O

Well now I'm totally going to have to write this, drabble/mini-fic or no.

And the other way around too, like, Sarah Jane had a pretty sweet relationship with Three, but she really clicked with Four because their personalities aligned just right.
