I don't know how easy that is to see in other countries. Set to (I think) "This is Gallifrey" and the music used for the 10th Doctor's regeneration. It was very nice. Every Doctor got a cheer, the audience started crying for Tennant's regeneration. I didn't. I was a man. Yes.<br /><br />(They do a similar thing for the Doctor Who tour that's currently doing the rounds over here in the UK. And, again, some people start blubbing for Tennant. He's a national treasure!)LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-6123116827936132902010-11-04T22:30:59.594-03:002010-11-04T22:30:59.594-03:00I'm sure they're all there though.

Maybe some day.<br /><br />I did a <a href="http://www.siskoid.com/WhoCCG/RD5/cardregeneration3.html" rel="nofollow">card series</a> devoted to the regens though.

My favorite companion in Classic Who (tied with Sarah Jane Smith), she went from being an orphaned scientific genius to a confident young woman putting herself in harm's way to help others. And that gentle kiss she gives the Doctor just gets to me.Mitchell Craighttp://mitchbcraig1258@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-37078904607650449832010-11-03T00:00:24.902-03:002010-11-03T00:00:24.902-03:00James: I don't count Rory because he doesn'...James: I don't count Rory because he doesn't leave quite yet, but if it were his departure, then yes, it would have been worthy.<br /><br />Liam: Just a question of what You-Tube I found.

Rory in Cold Blood because of a) how dumbfounded Arthur Darvill looks when he realises he's been shot and b) the sterling acting from Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the TARDIS afterwards. <br /><br />Also, even though its a contrived marriage-type departure there's a special place in my heart for Leela's swansong, just for the fact the Doctor can't bring himself to say to her face that he'll miss her as well.James Ashelfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921809149099140714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-64308655213660914902010-11-02T12:40:50.866-03:002010-11-02T12:40:50.866-03:00I don't disagree with the list, but I'd re...I don't disagree with the list, but I'd rearrange the order. My top five (in order) would be Donna, Jo, Ian and Barbara, Susan, Rose.<br /><br />Thinking about it further, I might bump Adric out of the top 10 and slip Mickey's departure in "The Age of Steel" in there. I thought it was a great moment that highlighted the change in the character from his first appearance.Matthew Turnagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115327182071167651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-16657707381021655962010-11-02T07:31:52.605-03:002010-11-02T07:31:52.605-03:00They could "fix" Donna Noble, to my sati...They could "fix" Donna Noble, to my satisfaction, just by having her become a champion of some earthbound cause. It could even be done in passing, where (for example) there's a news report in the background of a scene, talking about how this formerly unknown "Donna Noble" burst suddenly onto the local political scene and did something constructive. Just some sort of hint that her life has changed for the better, even if she doesn't know why herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-59875562580342343652010-11-02T07:15:02.015-03:002010-11-02T07:15:02.015-03:00I think you've pretty much nailed it, especial...I think you've pretty much nailed it, especially for the Classic Era. Susan's is one of my favourites but purely for The Doctor's speech.<br /><br />I'm afraid Adric's just made me giggle and Rose's did nothing for me - THAT was the most contrived of all companion departures for me because I NEVER bought into the Rose/Doctor "love story".<br /><br />It never made any sense why after hundreds of years he should fall so heavily for this non-entity of a human being compared to the many, many far more interesting characters he'd met over the years.<br /><br />Great list, some good memories there ;)Tim Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845783872464372488noreply@blogger.com
