[cheater cheater pumpkin eater] Okay, let’s take a moment to tally the vote so far. River Song is in the clear lead with 135 votes (as each vote for her counts three time). Her mother is a distant second with 55, and Sarah Jane, Clara & Martha are neck and neck for third place. The blonde wench is not even on the board, as is only proper.

I’d be with Sally Sparrow, but I’d be thinking of Romana II. ---

Sarah Jane is the girl to marry. Leela is the one I’d be looking to shag. The poll is a complete mess. I’d expect Ricky’s grandmother to be on it sooner then the first Romana. Personally, I never cared much for River and her gun wielding ways. ---

> [@akira5822](#): > > Though you overstate the matter, Alex Kingston is not blessed with a beautiful face. She is, however, remarkably hot… This, Alex is incredibly beautiful More than that, the character River Song come across as _very_ experienced. She knows things that could truly rock your world. Yes, she is the epitome of “Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know”, but damn, what a ride. ---

What, no Leela? (no, not the Futurama cyclopian mutant, although she’s nice too 😉 ) Okay, going as listed, I’d vote for Sarah Jane (Fourth doctor version), Martha Jones, and Amelia Pond Never liked Blondie McBlonderson (Rose) or Shouty McShrieky (Donna) all that much either, though truth be told, once Donna had mellowed and grown a bit (I think the turning point was the “Planet of the Ood” episode, hearing the infinite sadness of the captive Ood song…) ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > …Matt Smith, who of course is the best NuDoctor. Why? Because he’s the first one I saw, that’s why, and Rhymer are terribly provincial. And that’s true of most Doctor Who fans. My daughter has a T-shirt that encapsulates it: You Never Forget Your First Doctor. > [@MacTech](#): > > Never liked … Shouty McShrieky (Donna) all that much either, though truth be told, once Donna had mellowed and grown a bit (I think the turning point was the “Planet of the Ood” episode, hearing the infinite sadness of the captive Ood song…) Yes. Despite having only one series with the Doctor that character developed and matured more than any companion I’ve seen. ---

Ignoring the hideously biased poll, and only going by the title question, my vote goes Amy, closely followed by Rose and then Martha a distant third (haven’t seen the latest season to comment on the new companion). I like _Alex Kingston_, but I _didn’t_ like River Song by the end, she really gets on my wick. And I liked Donna as a Companion, but I wouldn’t want to “shag” her Pity Lady Christina and Kylie don’t qualify as a companions, though.
