Day 209: The Wheel In Space Episode 6

And at the conclusion of this story, the TARDIS gains a new crewmember, in the form of Zoe Heriot. Already, I instantly prefer her to Victoria, due to the way in which her character has been presented. Zoe is a futuristic character, who takes no nonsense from either Jamie or the Doctor. She looks down on Jamie due to his poor knowledge, and yet she is able to defer to him in times when more basic human feelings are needed, such as having trust in the Doctor, or alternatively in the things for which Jamie knwos but Zoe doesn't. Already, an interesting dynamic has been set up between these two characters that allows them to be in conflict and still have a strong mutual respect for each other. Likewise, Zoe fails to see the playfulness within the Doctor, and yet she knows thta he is te more intelligent of the two. And we know that by starting this character as someone who is fond of logic, we're going to be able to see their character develop as they break out from the dull world of The Wheel in Space and move onto more exciting times.
