I don't feel a young Amy would bring much into the show. I mean, imagine every single of Matt's episodes so far, but with a 7-year-old on board. [B]Victory of the Daleks:[/B] "WAAA WAAA DOCTOR HELP ME, IM SO SCARED" [B]Time of Angels:[/B] "WAAAAUGH DOCTOR IM SO SCARED WAA" [B]The Pandorica Opens:[/B] "WAAAA DOCTOR I WANT TO GO HOME WAAAA" That, or Moffat would yet again write a completely unrealistic character. Imagine the end of Hook, with the little kids beating the experienced and cutlass-wielding pirates and bombastic music, but FOREVER.

They wouldn't be able to comprehend the moral decisions the Doctor has to make sometimes, nor really understand his age. A child would also slow the Doctor down, an adult works because they can keep up while running, or do other things to help him like infiltrate places.

Truth in them words; a child companion wouldn't really work. Maybe a teenager, like 13+, but not a KID kid.
[QUOTE=ironman17;32474705]Truth in them words; a child companion wouldn't really work. Maybe a teenager, like 13+, but not a KID kid.[/QUOTE] That's more the age I was going for. Or atleast as mature as the children we've seen so far. And if a child companion can't comprehend the moral decisions taken by The Doctor how would the audience? You guys really underestimate kids. They stop the snot nosed cookies shit at 5. A child of 12 plus would work more than fine. After all, at 12 they start acting like teenagers anyway. I don't want a kid as young and annoying as George. Even in the confidential he was just... childish.

I wouldn't want to watch Doctor Who if there was somebody the same age as me as a companion.
[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;32475131]You forget that I'm technically a child. I wouldn't want to watch Doctor Who if there was somebody the same age as me as a companion.[/QUOTE] Why not? I wouldn't mind watching a companion of 17.
[QUOTE=Patroclus Rex;32475183]Why not? I wouldn't mind watching a companion of 17.[/QUOTE] There's a huge difference in maturity from the ages of 15 and 17..
Indeed, kids shouldn't be as underestimated as they are. Sure some of them are just so [B]annoying[/B], like these kids next door who just [B]don't shut up[/B], or these kids on my course who do little but be annoying. (I don't care if they're college age, they're 8 year olds in the head; [B]I REALLY FUCKING HATE THOSE UTTER FUCKING MORONS[/B]) Just had to get those annoying gits off my chest. Their madness gave me a bit of a breakdown on Tuesday; usually I just suck it up, but that day I just snapped and tried to give them a stern talking to (which didn't really make much difference but let me vent out my rage a little). It's people like them that make me want to crack some skulls, even though i'm not really a person who'd go around cracking skulls anyway. (i'd give them beats, but then i'd get kicked off the course) Greivances aside, we all know the Doctor won't die, since Matt's been signed on until 2015 and Series 7 is gonna be green-lighted soon.

[QUOTE=ElectronicG19;32475233]There's a huge difference in maturity from the ages of 15 and 17..[/QUOTE] That really just depends on the person. I had a 15 year old friend that was more mature than most of my 17+ friends.
[QUOTE=Jrwiley;32476029]That really just depends on the person. I had a 15 year old friend that was more mature than most of my 17+ friends.[/QUOTE] Gender also makes a difference - girls tend to mature faster than boys, so a 15 year old girl could be more mature than a 17 year old boy.
when the Doctor was talking about that robot dog was it a reference to K-9?
[QUOTE=evlbzltyr;32456248]That'd suck. Because whilst it's technically the Doctor in every way, he's not the [I]real[/I] Doctor. He's never been to any of the places the real Doctor's been. He's never seen Gallifrey with his own eyes. Etcetera, etcetera.[/QUOTE] If your being technical, the matter in his body, unless there's some weird timelord trickery, is about 10 years old.
Listen, we had Adric. Adric was a teenager. Adric was terrible. It's just really hard to see a teenage companion working. He would either be a foil to the Doctor's actions (such as Adric), or he would be completely helpless and would need rescuing constantly because teenagers are stupid. Maybe a kid who'd try to do good but would fuck things up because he's a stupid teenager would work. Kind of like a reverse Adric. Ps. pee pee doo doo Adric was a bad companion
[QUOTE=verynicelady;32461526]The Doctor made a lot of how old he was, and we know the Doctor who is killed by River is eleven hundred and three. I can't quite figure out how he got that old when we've been with him the whole time since he was nine hundred or so in The Impossible Astronaut. Has he lived 200 years between leaving Amy and Rory and visiting Craig? What's he been doing for all that time, and did he really last that long without a companion?[/QUOTE] Moffat has said that he only guesses his age.

[QUOTE=Jasun;32477543]Dunno bout you but where I live the girls are just as immature as the guys. Which is very.[/QUOTE] It's a proven fact, but that doesn't mean it's always the case. It's often why girls are often attracted to older boys rather than those of their own age, because the ones their age are more immature.
If that eye patch is so that they can see the Silence creatures then why does River not remember them when she sees them in The Impossible Astronaut because in the trailer for the final we see her wearing the patch and thats set before The Impossible Astronaut? *brain hurts to think about all this*

Can someone remind me who the three children at the end were? I recognized their voices but I don't remember.
