Talk:Jackie Tyler

Companion?
The article states that she "is not generally considered a companion", but I wonder if that's really true. Who are these people "not generally" considering her so? As a matter of objective fact, she knew the secret of the TARDIS, entered it several times throughout the series, took a trip in it, appeared in half the stories of Series 1 and 2, directly faced Autons, Slitheen, Cybermen and Daleks, actively assisted the Doctor during regeneration, furthered the audience's understanding of travelling with the Doctor, and fiercely protected the secret of the Doctor when challenged. She even appeared in a ''Doctor Who Magazine comic strip. Sure, she may not be the "classic era" definition of a companion in that she doesn't regularly'' travel in the TARDIS, but, she had a more critical relationship with both the audience and the Doctor than someone like Vicki, Victoria, Dodo, or Stephen.

 * As a recurring character as oppose to a regular character as companions become, (with the exceptions of one-offs Sara Kingdom, Grace Holloway and Astrid Peth and the irregular Kamelion), Jackie is more akin to previous recurring characters, such as the Brigadier, who similarly knew the secrets of the TARDIS and the Doctor and indeed travelled with him on occassion yet are not typically deemed as companions because of the presence of established 'companions'. Thus in the Brigadier's case, his appearances coincide with those of the recognised companions Jamie, Victoria, Zoe, Liz, Jo, Sarah, Harry, Tegan, Turlough and Ace who clearly fulfil the narrative companion role above him. Similarly, in Jackie's case, she is trumped by Rose in fulfilling the narrative role of the companion. Wolf of Fenric (talk) 23:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
