The third doctor trying to escape the hospital was SO FUNNY. like bro kept coming up with elaborate plans to escape, and then fainting. He just kept doing it.

AND THE WHOLE BIT WITH THE SHOES??? sir you are bonkers. Out of your brain with regeneration energy. I love it. Never change.

I know i'm insane for this BUT CMON NOW???

Untraceable parents??? The Doctor not going after the lady to find out who she is?

If 15 knew how much finding out Ruby's mom meant, then surely he would've gone after her to at least get a glimpse, right?????

I mean...he did went back in time to take pictures of Bill's mom

SO WHY NOT DO THE SAME WITH RUBY'S MOM???

Which companions would you personally say are True Alien fuckers and which ones forget the doctor isn't human?

Okay, so taking out audio plays and the like, and with a caveat that I haven't seen everything (yet) and so some companions I am stipulating based on clips and descriptions and the like + my memory is. trying.

Disclaimer that this is about whose attraction to the Doctor encapsulates the doctor's inherent Alien-ness, such as gender fluidity, total change of appearance (on occasion), near immortality, alien physiology, and other variety of alien oddness.

this is about humans only.

See scores at the bottom. Forgive the mess, I'm operating on memory here.

(EDIT: keeping the original martha thoughts, but I was Wrong, she's an alienfucker, Martha I'm sorry I slandered you)

First Doctor companions: well to begin with, none of them. they're all presented to the incredibly no-sex-allowed show, including the most elderly the Doctor has ever appeared, in the true crotchety old-man sense (although... see the Twelfth Doctor). On top of that the dynamic was mostly paternal and companions tended to leave to do their own thing. Most Alien Fucker however I would give to Steven Taylor (who has an unfair advantage, being from the future, which is also a trend we see over again). Anyone who either travelled only with the First Doctor (Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Dodo) or witnessed the regeneration into Second (Polly, Ben) for various reasons simply would not. To be fair, the Doctor here radiates a "do not sexualise" aura. still. I think the real test was right here, and they all failed to make the grade

Second Doctor companions: notably the appearance of the Brigadier! I think he takes the crown of Most Alien Fucker of Second, although I would say, while Zoe is a bit young to be actively an Alien Fucker, she for sure is shaping up to be one in the future. Jamie and Victoria I personally think are a solid No generally

Third Doctor companions: Truthfully I'd give this one to the Brigadier as well. But wait, you say, what about Sarah-Jane Smith! Ah, but here I create a ripple perhaps by claiming that she wasn't an Alien Fucker, so much as a person who regularly engaged with the Doctor on a human level, despite the Doctor not being human. it's interesting, because she's someone so actively doing alien investigations, but I never think she was seduced in the wink wink nudge nudge sense to the alien-ness of it all. I think her betrayal with the Doctor is very related to the Doctor's non-humanness taking her by surprise (she and Rose have a fair bit in common). Jo is also not an Alien Fucker. Jo wanted a family I believe, in the human traditional conventional sense. Liz could go either way, but if an Alien Fucker, then that alien is not the Doctor. in some ways I think Liz is a bit ace overall, but in spirit youknow.

Fourth Doctor companions: note here we get some mildly non-human companions, but still humanish, which makes it hard. I've decided "born on earth" as a stipulation, no matter what time that is. However that takes out Leela, Adric, and Nyssa, and none of the more born-on-earth humans are Alien Fuckers. notably the Fourth Doctor is considered one of the more obviously eccentric Doctors, so does that have anything to do with it? who knows, I'm making up the rules as I go along

Fifth Doctor companions: similarly Vislor does not meet the stipulations, otherwise I would have awarded him the gold star. RIP to how Peri was treated generally, but she may have an undercurrent of Alien Fucking, because (ironically) she's not so into the Doctor really, but comes to understand (Sixth Doctor) more over time + she hooked up with a warrior king offscreen as part of her leaving so. She's not a timelord Alien Fucker though, I'd say

Sixth Doctor companions: Includes Peri, but we already talked about her, so: Mel. Is she an Alien Fucker? Wee-eell, yes-and-no. Yes, she witnesses a regeneration and is kinda chill about it, no because I wouldn't say she was into the Doctor in either regeneration. So could this be the Doctor specifically? Would it have been different if it had been Eight or Ten? I haven't watched far enough yet to know what her deal with Glitz is, but clearly there's some Alien Fucking genes there

Seventh Doctor companions: which leaves us in the classic series with Ace!!!! Who is absolutely a lesbian, and not at all giving off the vibes of someone mooning after the Doctor specifically. However would this lesbianism include some gender bending fluidity? I cannot say yet, I've not reached that far. My gut says that Ace is firmly into humans, but we shall see!

Eighth Doctor companion: Not an Alien Fucker. Grace was into Paul McGann and the beautiful early-eighth doctor hair, and that is more than fair, however, shallow in terms of Alien Fucking

Ninth/Tenth Doctor companions: okay, I'm gonna have the possibly unpopular opinion that Rose is not an Alien Fucker. there are many different aliens in her story, and she remains firmly into "good looking blokes," while continuously being re-reminded that the Doctor is very much not a human guy and is surprised by this each time. also I like the tragedy that in some ways, Rose may be more into the TenToo clone than the Doctor because she knows that TenToo is stable (in terms of mortality, in terms of never changing appearance, in terms of never having to put anything before Rose). She might be persuaded to be into a bit of gender-fluidity though, we never do find that out

also in short order: neither Adam nor Mickey are Alien Fuckers. Jack, obviously, is an Alien Fucker, but he's also cheating according to my stipulations, that 51st century Boe-born rapscallion!

Martha, likewise, not an Alien Fucker. Her attraction to the Doctor is initially based on awe and the fact that he Needs her, and then when she realises she can do better and deserves better, she rightfully steps the fuck out of his direct orbit (although am not a fan of her ending up with Mickey -- very pair the spares. she deserves that other doctor guy). I think Martha should have been allowed to snog Thirteen though, personally

Donna: not an Alien Fucker and quite chill about that. she's admiring though (not of the Doctor lol), but she knows what she likes.

Eleventh Doctor companions: The Ponds aren't Alien Fuckers, sorry Amy and Rory. River, sure, but I have some mixed opinions on just how human she counts as, considering the mess that is her backstory.

Twelfth Doctor companions: I know Clara met Eleven first, but she's solidly a Twelve companion as far as I'm concerned, and you know. She's got actual Alien Fucker energy. I'd need to rewatch these seasons to form more of an opinion beyond this, because I cannot remember much, but this opinion is solid and unchangeable.

Bill is... hmmmm.... canonically a lesbian of course, and as far as I can remember (again, we're approaching a rewatch, but haven't got this far) solidly hitting on earth girls, but then there's that ending... Does she know that timelords can regenerate? does it matter when she's become, well... Matter. Actually the more I think about it, the more I'd say yes she is an Alien Fucker, but also she's in a somekindof relationship with Heather-Matter, which was also the point at which she became a bonafide Alien Fucker, while also transcending the bounds of humanity, so in and of herself has become the Non-human... it's complicated

I cannot speak to Thirteen, because I've only seen the first season (so far) but from what I've seen of that, they're not Alien Fuckers. sorry guys. let me know if I'm wrong though

SO IN TERMS OF ACTUAL ALIEN FUCKERS INCLUDING AND/OR SPECIFICALLY THE DOCTOR: 2 (Brigadier, Clara)

ALIEN FUCKER POTENTIAL: 2 (Steven, Zoe)

IT'S COMPLICATED BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HUMANITY: 1 (River Song) (arguably Adric, Jack, Nyssa, Tegan, Leela, Vislor, Bill... a few others)

THEY'D FUCK OTHER ALIENS BUT NOT THE DOCTOR/A TIMELORD: 5 (Polly, Zoe, Liz, Peri, Mel, Bill)

REGULARLY FORGETS THE DOCTOR ISN'T HUMAN: 17 (Ben, Yaz, Graham, Ryan, Rose, Martha, Sarah-Jane, Jo, Amy, Rory, Grace, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Dodo, Victoria, Jamie)

DOESN'T UUUSUALLY FORGET THE DOCTOR ISN'T HUMAN BUT STILL WOULDN'T FUCK THEM: 4 (Liz, Ace, Mickey, Donna)

UNIMPORTANT TO THIS DISCUSSION: 1 (Adam)

HON MENTION: 1 (Jackie Tyler asking if "there's anything else he's got two of")

FORGOT TO INCLUDE: the UNIT people and a handful of single-episode companions oh well

All in All: it's tough to be a timelord huh.

Hey! I know there was probably a bit of panic at MQ while i was gone, and I just want to apologize and just explain a bit why i couldn’t get there! Last night a timelord showed up at my house in his tardis, which was stuck in the form of a wardrobe. After sobering up, he took me to another planet and when returning back to our time he accidentally put in 12 hours ahead of where we came from instead of 12 minutes!!

Haha, just kidding. My motorcycle died a tragic death and i held a funeral for her. Sorry i left with no warning but snorkie was important to me. 😭😭

Do you guys think there's an extremely clumsy timelord that dies every five to ten years? Like where most timelords on their 5th regeneration are around 600+ years old, he is already on his 6th by the time he is 50? And every five to ten years in Gallifrey you hear:

"Damn it Ned!!!"

"What? What happened now?!?"

"He tripped and split his head on a rock.."

"Oh, great, now he's regenerating!"

..

Meanwhile he's thinking: 'this regeneration better has great ballance!!'

I have a theory....

A DOCTOR WHOOOO THEORY

So

I think I've found a way that the Face of Boe could've survived

If we take into consideration the timeless child (🤢) then you don't have to be Gallifreyan to be a timelord. So, this begs the question: what factors make you a timelord?

I would argue that being a time traveller and being able to regenerate are the two qualifying features of timelords.

Let's take a look at how the show shows us the timelords tend to aquire the ability to regenerate. When the Master is resurrected in 10th era, we see that at the end of their tenures at the timelord academy, budding timelords look into the untempered skism (or the time vortex) and are gifted the power to regenerate.

Let's now look at ways of timetravelling in the show. There's the obvious way, a TARDIS. There's also the "space-hopper way", a vortex manipulator.

Now, from this, we can see that an obvious winner for the timelord title would be River Song aka Melody Pond. She may have gained her regeneration powers in a different way than most (being conceived in flight in the time vortex) but she can (or could) regenerate and can deffinately be classed as a member of the frequent flyer club where time is concerned.

So River is a timelord. Big whoop. What does this change about the future of Doctor Who? Not much, I'll admit. However, is there someone else who is also a timelord who's newly realised qualification could change the show in any way?

Believe it or not, the is!

Captain Jack Harkness

Now, this may seem like a reach, but this 51st century hot shot fits both the qualifiers we've laid out. He's a frequent time traveller, and he can regenerate.

'But flea! He's never regenerated before! Stop being a dumb fuck and watch the show you seem to love so much you idiot!' I hear you!

But hear me out

Jack Harkness has looked into the untempered skism.

He has gained the ability to regenerate.

Think back to Utopia, where the Doctor, Martha and Jack travel to the near end of the universe. He just had to be extra and hop onto the outside of Sexy and scream at the top of his lungs for his beloved Doctor

WITH HIS EYES WIDE OPEN

Now, does this change anything? Maybe

He wasn't able to regenerate after this for a while because he can't die, does this mean that he would never have regenerated anyway? Maybe, maybe not....

I theories that either Jack regenerated INTO the massive head in a jar (perhaps after a few other regenerations) OR he regenerated AFTER he became a giant head (I like the headless monk theory about Jack for that route the most) and this latter route would mean that Jack must still be out there somewhere!

Maybe he met up with Me and Clara some time along the line

Maybe he met other people the Doctor passed

There are so many routes this theory could take Jack in and they could all be so cool!

But hey

That's just a theory

A DOCTOR WHOOOO THEORY
