If a police box suddenly appears in front of you, and The Doctor asks you to join them
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
I'm pretty out of shape and I don't think I'd do well with all the running, but I'd be stupid not to go for at least one trip.
My heart would say yes, but my brain would kick my heart in the ass with flashbacks to nearly every single companion in Modern Who. Well, that's alright then!
Considering the percentage of companions who experience a unique take on the worst way to die (or live!) imaginable, I'll pass.
You know the tardis is taking you to the nearest cyberman factory asap, right?
For sure. Survival rates are pretty good!
14 did at least make sure the TARDIS itself was wheelchair accessible!
I mean, if you travel with the Doctor you'll basically get a lot of almost-therapy and a self confidence boost whether you like it or not.
You'll need some actual therapy once you're done. For all the trauma. But hey, you won't doubt your own abilities anymore.
Depends on which Doctor comes out of the box. If it's 11 or 13 I'm telling them to come back once they regenerate. 9 would be fun but he's a bit too intense so undecided on that one. Would definitely go for a spin with 4, 10/14 and 12.
EDIT: We've only seen him for an episode and a half so we don't know much about him, but 15 also seems like a fun time, so maybe?

Responsibly I'd have to pass so as not to abandon my family. You'd think this would be an issue with a time machine but it always is.
I'd encourage my kids to go however. No matter how dangerous it is, we all die eventually anyway so might as well experience the universe in a way closed off to most people.

What The fuck is a police box? I don't know but I'm wouldn't be sticking around to find out, sounds like a bad time
How ineffective would my one real fighting technique -- hitting opponents in the crotch or other soft, vulnerable regions while they are distracted -- be against them? 🤔️
I have to see the inside of the Tardis first to confirm this person is not a psychopath looking for their next victim.
Only if I could bring my mom. I ain't seeing the wonders of the world without making sure she sees them too.
The only way I could see myself doing that is if something completely fucked was happening to Earth and the Tardis was an easy way to bounce out of there.
The Doctor has shown to mostly not give a shit about their companions making bank from their time-foolery. Also, you typically only get offed if the companion (you) get's too clingy and even then you typically get a happy end. Once your adventure is done, just bounce and don't get too greedy.
Nah. Of the ones I remember (Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy), none of them were able to just go back home except Martha. But Martha experienced some of the most traumatizing adventures of them all. Having some dude tell me "I'm so sorry" just 'cause I wanted to travel across spacetime and now I'm trapped on an alien planet or whatever is a mess.
It's fine.
Amy & Rory lived to a ripe old age
Clara still survives in her last second of life
Nardole & Bill's consciousness' survive
My friend, a recurring character is prominently trans. The lead writer/producer is vocal in his support.
However, BBC owns Doctor Who...just have to hope whoever is in charge of the UK next gets the BBC to get better
Yeah probably? Time travel is generally pretty damn cool, and having someone with that much experience to guide you in it would be the ideal way. And I'd get to see a lot of pivotal events and save the day in my own way in a few cases most likely. Also I feel like most series suggest there are various non-horrifically dangerous adventures that aren't on screen so there'd be plenty of "let's check out future space Greece!" or whatever where it goes fine. I'd take companion result odds for that I think.
Only real problem might be coming back to normal life after that and nothing feeling exciting or worthwhile after it.
