30 days of Doctor Who

[kindkit]

I didn't manage to post yesterday, so today I'll do two questions. This works out well, as it happens, because my answers go together like a Time Lord and an eighteenth-century Scottish boy.

Day 04 - Your Favorite Doctor

The Second Doctor, because he is completely adorable. He's smart but silly and he freaks out when groups of small children taunt him with riddles. He'll take time out of dealing with a Cyberman invasion to fluff his hair and pose for a picture. He wears a giant fur coat in Nepal, and ridiculous Charlie Chaplin clothes the rest of the time, and when someone tries to tidy him up (in "The Macra Terror") he promptly untidies himself. He's grumpy but gentle, and deeply kind. He consoles Victoria about her father's death by telling her that his friends and family sleep in his memory, and reassures her about her new skirt by telling her Jamie's is shorter! He says "oh, my giddy aunt" and "great jumping gobstoppers," and he awards himself 11 points out of 10 for his mathematical skills. Also, he spends more time in drag than any other Doctor. What's not to love?



Day 05 – Your Favorite Companion

Jamie McCrimmon, of course. He and the Second Doctor bicker like an old married couple and cuddle like newlyweds. His personality--brave, protective, and loyal--clicks with the Second Doctor's, and I'd say they have the best chemistry of any companion and Doctor. And despite what some people say, Jamie is not dumb, he's just sometimes confused and dismayed by technologies he doesn't have the background to understand. But even when he's terrified he soldiers on, because someone's got to look after the Doctor.

Also, he looks very good in a kilt.
