K-9:
The Unsung Companion To Doctor Who!

I love Doctor Who. I am, and have been for several years, a big fan of the show, a Whovian if you will. It’s smart, it’s sexy, and it’s passionate. I love that the Doctor is not perfect yet still the hero and champion I need him to be.

A huge part of the charm of the show is that the Doctor, no matter his incarnation, always travels with a companion. This person, or group of people, is lucky enough to travel both time and space with the Doctor as he shows the universe to them. The companions’ job is never an easy one, as they are the character the audience usually best identifies with. The companion, often a woman, is frequently confused, as the Doctor is an old hand at time travel and has seen the entirety of the universe twice already. He is an alien and has his own motives spurring him into action. The companion asks a lot of questions because the Doctor-for all his mad brilliance-is alien and sometimes hard to understand. So far there have been forty-two different companions and each one has brought their own special something to the table but K-9 is one of my favorites so far.
