[Duke 2.0]

She's not really an assistant though, so much as a side character who appears now and then to indicate that an episode is BIG.

Although whatever reservations you may have about her, I wouldn't have said her faults included lack of cattiness.  Eh.

She's not a companion but for a while was a major part of most plots they got involved in. And my pointing that single word out was stating that she was a bit too catty.

 I'll concede that Tennant is not bad by any means, I just think the other doctors are better. Worst is a relative word that is still pretty damn good. A lot of his episodes do suffer from the same problem as the writers of the Eccleston episodes.

[Pnx]

Actually I'd suggest starting with this,

Is every episode like that?

No, they usually have more casualties.

Also: Yo dawg, I heard you like the Doctor...

Here's one from the 80's.

Although these are funnier if you're familiar with the old series. And all the quirks of it's extremely low budget.

I cried like a baby when 10th died, so I'm pretty biased, but wherever you start (4th, 1st, 9th, whatever), give it a chance to grow on you, and don't skip the modern Christmas specials if you're not into the Christmas - they really don't have much to do with it anyway, and the newest one in particular made me actually start to like Matt Smith sort of. There are some pretty bad lemons in all seasons (all dependent on taste - the cheese is part of the charm, IMO), but the gems are so worth it.

Also, pretty much all the new companions are best companion.  And so smart and /catty/, not like the useless weak women of the old series.

Or useless weak men. Adric was Wesley Crusher without the "saving the ship" skillz.

I dunno, the old series had some good companions. Sarah Jane, The Brigadier, K-9...

Ace. She's the Trope Maker for Crowning Moment of Awesome.

In Wesley's defense, he's just a cadet.

Oh yeah, and Leela. I mean, she killed quite a few people. And an entire species, if you follow the spin-off stuff.
