“It’s a pretty good show, but where’s the character work? Where’s the love The Doctor feels for his companions? Where’s the connection that should develop between him and his companions? The Doctor has two hearts; he has so much love in him, and I just don’t see the love that he should feel for his companions.
Remember Nine and Rose? That sort of developing love and affection they grew for one another? It wasn’t the action that drew me to the show, it wasn’t the intrigue or the mystery or the explosions; it was those real, human connections, that love that’s so strong, it goes on even after someone leaves. Just a little tip: Always remember how much The Doctor loves his companions, loves them to the point where he’d die for them, and how much his companions love him back: undeniably, unabashedly, unashamedly. Doctor Who has always been, and will always be, about love and loss and pain and hope.
Keep doing what you’re doing.
Allons-y!”
