Companions are love.

[ceebee_eebee]

That's it. I've had it with being grumpy fan. I learned a long time ago that if fandom wasn't fun it was a waste of my time and I'm sad that over the last few days I've kinda forgotten that lesson. So, to remind myself why I spend so much of my time obsessing over Doctor Who, and why that time is NOT a waste, I've decided to do a picspam. Why? Because picspams bring my insane amounts of joy. I've already done a bunch of Who-related picspams, so I decided to try something a little different this time. I wanted to find a pic of every single companion (book companions excepted, for obvious reasons) that was (1) not a screencap; (2) not Who-promo related; and (3) that I think really captures what I love about the actor and the character they play. I've done my best, but obviously some were a lot easier than others. Hopefully you haven't seen all of these before. And if you have any pics you like better, SHARE!






How GORGEOUS was she?!


A trench coat, a cup of tea, and a prop weapon. This pic cracks me up.


Sadly, this was the only cool pic I could find of Adrienne Hill.


Jean Marsh aged SO well. That seems to be a common trait for ex-companions. Check out Maureen O'Brien:






I'm pretty sure this one is Who-promo related, but she looks so pretty in it I couldn't resist.


Man, I ♥ this pic. The colors, the composition, her expression, everything.




I really don't think I need to say anything about this pic. It's one of my all-time favorites.




How ridiculously adorable is she?!?!






What a sweet little muffin she was.


I luuuuuuuuuuuuv this pic. She looks so genuinely happy in it. It makes me smile every time I look at it.


Anyone have other candid pics of Ian Marter?


So striking.


Did you really think I would leave out my most favorite companion of them all?! :-)


There were SO many gorgeous pic of her to choose from, but I think this is my favorite. The outfit rocks.


This KILLS me! She's SOOOOOOOOOOO young!!!


(This one's for you, Van.)




I couldn't resist this one, either. She looks so genuinely happy and beautiful.


HOT!!!


I wanted a pic of her where that wasn't a sexpot shot. I think this one works.




My main woman.


I can't believe how different she looks with her hair shorter. I like it!


I am convinced this woman bathes in the blood of virgins. There is no other explanation for this.


I...got nothin'.


Lisa Bowerman is one HELL of a hard woman to find photos of. Supposedly she will be attending one of the cons I am going to this year, which would be awesome. I'll definitely have to get some pics of my own.


I honestly can't stand Daphne Ashbrook, but I must admit this pic is just perfect. She looks so fresh-faced and pretty.


India's got eyes like a chibi. It's absurd.




This one cracks me up. It seems so random!


Another one I had a lot of trouble choosing. She looks so forced or uncomfortable in so many of her posed shoots. In this pic, though, I think she looks genuinely happy. And that makes her 100 times sexier.


I fully support this trend of male companions taking it all off. FULLY support.


Say what you will, I love Jack. And I think Barrowman takes a DAMN fine photo.


Holy. HELL.


I've seen a bunch of other shots from this set, but this one's my favorite. She looks so happy and confident. Very sexy.

So, there you have it. Companions kick ASS and I love them all. Yeah, even Adric and Grace. What can I say? I'm easy. And the Doctor has damn good taste. ;-)

I love you lots and lots right now. LOTS.

I can't pick a favorite out of all of these; they all just look so lovely and happy. I love shots where the actors look happy.

And oh, sometimes I forget just how pretty Nicola Bryant is. She really is lovely, and it's a shame that so many pictures are just of her cleavage. And whoa damn, is that really Jackie Hill? Why haven't I seen that picture before?

And Deborah Watling...Deborah Watling. Oh my. She's so cute.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I wanted to share my re-squeeing efforts. ;-)

YES! That's my favorite and I was trying so hard to find a happy pic of each actor. Some of the older ones, the pickings were too slim. And with Freema...well, come on now. That pic is so hot it hurts to look at it.

And whoa damn, is that really Jackie Hill?

I'm almost positive. It took me forever to try and find a second source just to be sure. It's crazy awesome.

Yes, yes it is. I mean, that dress. It looks like it melted onto her, and I mean that in a good way.

(I suspect Doctor Who may be making me a little bit bi. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.)

I never would have recognized her in that. She looks so glamorous. Why didn't we get any of this on the show? :( I'd even trade her Romans toga for this, and I love that toga.

And I also fully support More Nekkid Male Companions, so thank you. :D

Yay! The bisexual Who agenda!!! \o/

Why didn't we get any of this on the show? :(

It's SO sad. They totally frumped her up as Barbara. Maybe because they thought schoolteachers shouldn't be glamorous? (They better not tell my mother that.) She was such a beauty.

Right?! If only we could find some old B&W naked pics of Frazer...

I don't suppose the vague and blurry upskirt in The Invasion would count, would it? Nah, probably not. (Was it in Invasion? That's where he did the most ladder-climbing, anyway.)

Oh, the upskirts in Invasion. Those are lovely. But no, I want full on nakedness ala Noel and Philip. I bet his ass was magnificent...

Damn. I keep losing my train of thought there.
