Day 110: The Bomb

It's worth mentioning our latest companion, Dodo. She's a modern girl who joined the TARDIS rather unexpectedly at the end of The Massacre and this acts as her first story. Her first scene in The Massacre, is unfortunately, awful. She comes across as annoying and her character doesn't do anything towards the continuation of the series. Susan represented an unearthly quality, Vicki gave us youth, Katarina had innocence and Sara gave the series action. And that's the really annoying thing about Dodo, which is that she was a character with strong potential. She could have represented the young people of the day, but instead she becomes an average companion with no real special qualities that are exhibited within her first couple of episodes, at least. Hopefully she'll improve, otherwise her character will remain as dead as her namesake.
