Both good as sidekicks and eye candy but Amy Pond had nicer legs. That is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. Companions are not sidekicks or "eye-candy". They are all brave and strong young women who have unique personalities and help the Doctor in a unique way. In the season 2 episode "The Idiot's Lantern", Rose figures out the problem before the Doctor does. So, no, they're not sidekicks. Clara takes charge of how to defeat the Cybermen in the season 7 episode, "Nightmare in Silver" which shows that she can take responsibility and succeed. Your statement is ridiculous and practically defies the message of the companions: someone who keeps the Doctor in check, someone who is his equal, not EYE CANDY. Sorry to say this, but you're an idiot if you think this is true.
