Yes, Nyssa was adorable! But yes, Tegan was supposed to bring teh Sex. I Heard an interview with Janet Fielding were she spoke of her costumes and how unsuitable they were for running around with the Doctor, but was told that she was just supposed to look sexy and shut up about it. Which, evidently, was the same response she got when she complained over her character's lack of evolving personality.

No, I don't think she has it easy! She'll get some better episodes, though.

I get Tegan/Nyssa and at any rate they are great friends- Another of those things I would have liked to see evolve a bit more. Have you seen castrovalva? They spenda lot of time alone together, but a lot of them is just Walking around, which is rather tedious. I so wish the writer's had spent some of that time to show how they become friends!

For me five is probably the Doctor I have the easiset to see paired with a companion. Perhaps because he is such sweetie? Usually I don't ship the Old Who's Doctors with anyone in particular, except the Master. It's muct be my contrary streak showing, because I have, obviously, no problem at all shipping the Master with a variety of companions, when most fics about him seems to be slash. :)

I must confess to disliking Adric the most of all companions. I guess he was supposed to be an approchable viewer substitute to contrast with Romana, but I think they did the job of doing him like a real teenager a bit too well.
