Why do all these modern companions have to be shown as being so loving special. Rose, Clara, even Amy and Rory. Can't we just have a bunch of average guys/girls with no special characteristics for once?

Why would the Doctor pick out some arbitrary "normal" person as a companion? I mean, I'd be interested in seeing what some overweight, balding, office drone with no sense of humour or adventure would do as a companion, but it's fairly obvious why they always have someone exceptional be a character instead of the opposite.

Oh, and I was never really scared for anyone's safety (or even weirded out by the monsters) like I was in Blink.


Is Blink that episode with the dumbass statue monsters? What is it about those monsters that get people all riled up. I'm trying to find a way to make fun of the stupidity of them without acknowledging the stupidity of the whole enterprise. In any case is there something I'm missing about why that episode is so popular or did I just miss out on formative childhood experiences involving fear of sculpture.
