Doctor Who: 5 Companions For Peter Capaldi's Doctor

3. Captain Jack Harkness

2606230 Captain Jack Harkness Right now you€™re thinking that I don€™t have a creative bone in my body. Here is why I think Jack would be a great companion. Peter Capaldi is incredibly inappropriate. Now, Doctor Who is first and formost and forever a children€™s show in Britain, even if, as an American writer, I don€™t see it that way. If Moffat were to make it anything else, Britain would revolt. So, Jack Harkness is a companion idea for Capaldi to a certain extent. I will be honest and say I don€™t know all of the events of Torchwood: Miracle Day, but I can imagine, based on what I do not, that it€™s possible that for a few episodes we would have two people, the Doctor and Jack, who have known each other longer than any other companion, leaning on each other for support and making sure they€™re okay. They slowly will be able to help each other back to where they used to be. Not to say that the Doctor will be less dark or gritty, but no one understands his loss, I think, like Jack. It would be interesting to bring Jack back not as comic relief, but for who could honestly understand the Doctor has gone through. Meanwhile, Jack may need reassurance of the Doctor and what he does, and who he is. A season together (with limited innuendos), may be what they both need. A friend. Reassurance for Jack about his friend, and a friend who can€™t die for the Doctor. Also, this would massively contribute to the multiple characters played by Capaldi.

I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
