Talk:Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (TV story)

Companions
I've added Brian, Nefertiti, and John Riddell to the "companions" list. I have mutliple reasons why:
 * 1) The Doctor states that they are all in his "group," meaning he almost strait out calls them companions.
 * 2) They all fit the requirements for companions. They travelled with him just as much as Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza did.
 * 3) Brian, in perticular, is shown to have gone on futher adventures with the Doctor afterwards (In the form of a postcard)
 * 4) John Riddell states that he has met the Doctor before.
 * 5) Nefertiti travelled in the TARDIS willingly with the Doctor, no diffrent from anyone else who snuck aboard, like Zoe Heriot.
 * 6) They are no less companions then Adelaide Brooke or Christina de Souza.
 * 7) I said that one twice becuase it was important.

if anyone disagrees, we can discuss it here. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:05, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Being part of a group does not make you a companion, IMO. Being a companion implies a longer-term relationship than a single adventure.
 * 2) I still contest Brooke or de Souza being companions. I know that the BBC calls them companions, but we don't have an in-universe source confirming that. De Souza never even stepped in the TARDIS--some companion. Brooke didn't travel with the Doctor; he just took her on a single trip to rescue her life.
 * 3) You have a good point with Brian further travelling with the Doctor, although it seems more like sight-seeing than saving the day with the Doctor. And do we know for sure he was with the Doctor, instead of travelling by himself?
 * 4) Riddell is an adventurer--a "companion" who doesn't travel with the Doctor, but shares an adventure with him, like Brooke or de Souza.
 * 5) Again, Nefertiti is an adventurer.
 * 6) Again, Brooke and de Souza are not companions.
 * 7) I would actually advocate using or coming up with terms to clarify "companions" like Riddell, Nefertiti, Brooke, and de Souza. We already distinguish between single-adventure, short-term, and long-term companions. So why not use a different term to describe people who share adventures with the Doctor, without necessarily travelling with him? -- Bold  Clone  02:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * In at least one of the postcards, the TARDIS is present. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 02:31, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's a drawing though, not a photo. He could have sent it as a joke. -- Bold  Clone  02:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Postcard Issues
Just a note to say that I added a point about the final postcard received by Amy and Rory from Rory's dad where it shows the Ninth/Tenth Doctor's TARDIS. Naturally, this could be purposeful and the Moff could be planning something but I thought that it should most definitely be mentioned anyway until we hear any further news. By the 50th Anniversary, if it doesn't get referenced, then it is most probably a true error. Hope you're okay with that. The Farty  Doctor   Talk  02:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
