...can you imagine those two mugs starring in an American TV show?

[(Anonymous)]

...is that supposed to be a bad thing?

[charming_stranger]

Seconded.

[charming_stranger]

For some reason I now want to watch an American TV show starring two literal mugs.

... I don't know either.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't CT on The Office (US)? Guess she rates high enough after all.

[(Anonymous)]

It makes me sad to think that he would never find me good enough to be a companion (I'd be that girl from Smith and Jones that is afraid of opening the windows and the Doctor tells her to stay there that she can't come with him and Martha).

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah me too. :( Although tbh, I'd probably have a complete nervous breakdown after one adventure and wind up scarred for life anyway, so it's probably a good thing to be pre-emptive sometimes...

[sootyowl]

My trip with the Doctor would go like this:

Doctor: Let's go on an adventure!
Me: Kay!
*meets Dalek*
Dalek: Exterminate!
Me: *has a heart attack and dies*

[elaminator]

Most likely, yes.

If I somehow didn't die, I would probably be too terrified to ever step foot in the TARDIS again.

[sootyowl]

Same. Plus, the Doctor would have to carry me to the local insane asylum back home /would make the worse companion ever.

[elaminator]

Haha, I think the fact that his companions don't snap after everything they see on a regular basis says a lot about their character. Most people wouldn't cope so well under that kind of stress.

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much.

I know I'm a coward. I simply can't handle what the Doctor's companions go through. And on a regular basis, to boot? Psh.

[sootyowl]

I'm such a wimp too. I love adventure, but I like to experience adventure through other people on a TV screen. I couldn't handle death defying adventure on a regular basis at all.

[intrigueing]

I would fail incredibly hard at being a companion, just sayin'. Like, I'd love to meet the Doctor, but only to hear him tell me stories about all the things he did, not to do those things with him.

Maybe he'd let me just hang around waiting in the TARDIS browsing through his massive library and his massive collection of awesome alien and historical artifacts and tinkering with all his cool rooms, waiting for him to come back from his adventure and tell me all about the amazing stuff he did and how he almost died and how many people he saved and all the evil empires he toppled while I was sitting around nice and safe and sipping hot cocoa.

I'm hopeless.

[scherrymouse]

This is pretty much what I came here to say. I really, really want to see inside the TARDIS and to explore all its rooms and such, and I think hearing stories told by the Doctor could be cool. But I definitely wouldn't want to do all the scary stuff, and I'm not all that interested in travelling either. I've had this conversation so many times:

Everyone ever: But haven't you always wanted to travel?!?!
Me: Um... no? No, staying here is fine with me. I like the food and the weather and I can speak the language and am far less likely to get lost and so on.

I would be a really boring and useless companion. It's not for me at all. =(

OT but...

[(Anonymous)]

I love his smile in this picture so much. So big and unabashed and unrestrained in its admiration and wonder. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Y'know, this secret suddenly got me wondering...has the Doctor ever dumped a companion (other than Adam Mitchell) without mitigating circumstances? Almost everyone seems to have been either forced out by external factors or have left of their own accord. The only exceptions I can think of are Susan, Jack, and Sarah Jane, and he wasn't exactly happy to see the back of any of them. I don't think he was happy to see the back of any companion who didn't leave happily and willingly.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I have no doubt that I'd be super excited about all the things he could show me. Exploring the universe sounds AMAZING. I would totally want to see different planets and galaxies and meet different species of aliens and experience pretty much all Outer Space (and past/present stuff, too) has to offer.

My problem is that I'm a coward. At the first sign of trouble I'd be running and/or hiding. If not sobbing, fainting, dying from heart attacks, become immobile due to shock/anxiety, etc. You remember Mickey in "Rose", or that Indian (?) doctor from "Smith & Jones", or Rickston from "Voyage of the Damned"? That's me, basically. I'd panic like WOAH, and you can't be a companion if you panic like that.

I basically crave the adventure without all the life-threatening danger, which is impossible for any of the Doctor's companions to expect, hence why I could never be one, even if I wanted to.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I love the Doctor and all, but his idea of a peaceful holiday involves at least three life-or-death events before breakfast, and usually a threatened planetary extinction before tea time. We won't even touch what he considers an actual adventure. I would smile politely, gush over all the cool things he'd like to show me, and then sidle out the door while he's distracted. There have got to be easier ways to explore the universe. I mean, even the Starfleet Enterprise was safer. Well, provided you stayed out of the holodecks, away from the transporters, and never touched anything you hadn't seen the command staff thoroughly handle first ...

Okay. So not that much safer. But least Starfleet lets you file insurance.

[(Anonymous)]

I like to think I'd be a great companion, but I couldn't keep up. If I were in physically better shape. . .

But emotionally, I wouldn't be a good companion. In a previous DW secret today (#2) the OP states that they're more of a 'ends justifies the means' person & so am I. That's not, unfortunately, the point of DW though.

So I don't think I'd be boring or afraid, I think I'd be an enabler.

Hell, given the proper accident & combination of weirdness, I could even turn into a villain.

I'd be such a good villain too.

*sigh*
