When a series has been on air waves for decades, it may almost seem daunting for new viewers to find a comfortable place for the ship's jump. Fortunately, "Doctor who" was mostly pretty good about itWhether it is the introduction of a new actor playing the doctor, the arrival of another companion or both.

When the beloved British scientific series returned to the air waves in 2005, I15 years have passed since last season at Sylvester McCoyAnd about a decade after Paul McGan starred in "Doctor Who: The Movie". As part of the first episode of Christopher Ecclestone's mandate, the whole new generation was not only familiar with the doctor, but also their new travel companion: Rose Tyler (Billy Pepper). Because the 19-year-old working-class girl is considered in terms of doctor's adventure over time and space, we, with Rose, serving as an audience surrogate to different.

Indeed, we as viewers experience the magnificence that comes with Rose's impulsive decision to find out more about Ecclestone's mysterious time. During their adventures, Rose is transported to the end of the world, participating in a lethal incarnation of the "weakest relationship", and even comes face to face with the ultimate enemy of the doctor: Darx. And as is the case with most companionsRose's personal story becomes intertwined with the doctor as a result of their excursions.

In the final of the new "Doctor Who", Rose even looks directly to Tardis' heart to save the doctor. At this point, it has been revealed that it is an entity that all those cryptic "bad wolf" messages throughout the season are hinted. The result is a beloved "Doctor Who" story, but also the one who would take a very creeping turn, if the previous episode made him pass the development phase.

In the edition of the 2005 Doctor magazine, the writer-Shower Russell T. Davis talks about how script writer Paul Abbott for the episode of the play. "There were three celebrities when the episode 11 was his," Davis recalls. Title "The Void", treatment with a bizarre episode revealed that Rose's relationship with the doctor is not the result of their time spent together; This was because the time of the Lord was essentially a hand in its creation. After Davis:

"He, in fact, delivered a story - I mean, it's so wonderfully inventive - about how rose was raised secretly by the doctor as a mental experiment to create his perfect companion. Ha-ha.

Abbott eventually never went through the idea and it was safe to say that the show was getting better. Looking at the doctor through morally complex lenses is not a bad idea. For example, the episode "Dalk" sees Ecclestone's doctor fighting the darker aspects of his personality as a result of the last major time war. Even the episode that replaced the "Boom Town") is playing on what gives the doctor the right to condemn someone to a place where they know they will be executed upon arrival.

However, when it comes to Rose, this type of development would be catastrophic when it comes to the emotional trajectory of Rose's story and the doctor's confidentiality.

Rose is developing a wonderful friendship with the doctor during her first season in the series, so much that she is willing to save him in the final. When Ecclestone is then regenerated in the younger David Tennant, its nessube develops into something more romantic. This is what makes the couple's separation in the finals of the season 2 "Doomsday" increasingly stunning.

If Rose's socializing has been manipulated by the doctor from the beginning, however, it will throw a dark cloud during Ecclestone running. Much of their dynamics is that she learns to trust the doctor as if someone seeks - someone who, among other things, helps to move to be present in the death of her father. I just can't imagine that Rose would follow the same trajectory with Tenant's doctor if she learned that she was a scientific experiment together. Even her transformation "Bad Wolf" will come from the calculation, which would essentially remove its agency from the unselfish act.

As we talked, the doctor is far from perfect. However, since this was a character whose audience of charm has just started to meet, the idea of ​​growing their best friend leaves such a sour taste. Although Excelstone had only one season with pepperThe two made a great pair because they had great chemistry. It's just a shame that they never had to spend more time on the screen together.

The first 13 seasons of "Doctor who" are currently strimenting at Max.
