good point, i watched them all at once so the timeline blurs in my head a little
hate donna. love love love rose. neutral on all the other companions. rory and amy were kind of different, being a couple independent of the doctor
donna stood around helplessly screaming "WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO" a lot too. i think they all did, at one point or another. honestly except for bits where they commanded more power than him (rose, donna), they were all pretty much extensions of the doctors will and plan and brain. he always knew more, thinks faster, reacts faster, plans faster, and is better. hes more than a little in love with the human race as a whole is the only reason he keeps companions around. and the mental balancing act he does all the time, but in straight up battle or crisis none of the companions were anything more than "go there do this" and another set of hands for HIM. a bit of a stereotype, but what are you gonna do when canon has established timelord mental and physical superiority
