Leela Enters the TARDIS | The Face of Evil | Doctor Who

[@tsm784]

One of my favorite Doctor-Companion pairings. I love how Leela manages to treat the Doctor both as a wise old god and as an overly enthusiastic toddler, both at the same time.

[@2LaneTraveler]

You've got to love Leela's assertiveness when it comes to job interviews. She's coming with you, whether you want her to or not. Mad props to Louise Jameson for breathing life into such a fun and engaging character!

The best thing of Leela was that she may have been ignorant of many things, but she was not stupid nor foolhardy, and when push comes to shove she could hold her own in scrapes. Certainly different from past female companions up to that point.

[@brianartillery]

@@SciFiBrony - Jamie was a great companion. Not stupid at all, just a man out of time. I always liked his response, when told something that went way over his head, or that he didn't fully believe - it was: "Oh aye, that." He said it with such conviction, he was never challenged over it. Like Leela, Jamie always had an instinctive grasp of how weapons worked, too, no matter how alien they might be.
