Talk:Tommy Connolly

One-time companion?
Despite Tommy never entered the TARDIS or was even acknowledged that the Doctor was a Time Lord, does he count as a one-time companion? I mean he was with the Doctor for the majority of the second half, and actually did assist him in saving the world. Whatever you guys think, I consider him a single episode companion.

And the fact he was very clever he would have made a good full-time companion. Moogleknight24 talk to me 11:11, July 13, 2012 (UTC)Moogleknight24

Gay?
Should it be noted that Tommy is coded as gay? There's a scene where his father says he's a "mommy's boy" and his aunt says that he should "beat that out of him," which is referencing the fifties association of "softness" with gayness, especially in regards to boys' attitudes to their mothers. Additionally, when Tommy is talking about his father's fascist behavior, he says he fought against people dictating "who you could fall in love with," shortly before referring to himself as one of the people being fought for.
