Doctor Who S7 - Part Two Backup file - Companions Series 7

In part one, the future foretold of a world where Dalek's could take control of anything living or dead. Carla Oswald is one of those such beings, and also gave the good fight once again after. Part two, being his companion is a test of both faith and trust. I give kudos points to Jenna Louise Coleman for playing this role so well, sometimes she even emulates Matt Smith's a bit too solidly. In part, Carla is a diverse twisted mystery, with being imparted in the Tardis's memories, she is not an ordinary companion like the past. Carla is a unique character that impacts the Time Lord's journey's much more so than the Pond's (Note: there are still reflections of Amelia's writings in part of this timeline)

Past companions left an impact with the Doctor with trust, faith, patience, and sometimes emotionally. There is not ally that has ever been identical, or a copycat of another. It is truly unique how some of them actually know of another's family line. But there is never a moment where the storyline isn't impacted by the choices they have made along with the Doctor. Sometimes even changing their own lives, past, present, and future.

But dear Carla is something else, her being has actually been a part of time itself all along. From each journey, even the Doctor finds himself being a bit more chipper, and a bit more happy. (Ever since the loss of the Ponds, it brought him down like never before) Is he more human because of these people? I believe so, throughout Series 4 to 7, Matt Smith's doctor has really gained a unique persona because of the friends & enemies his character's made during the four season trek.

What's to come this winter will be the most diverse and insane idea ever. Bringing two timelines together and another unforgettable journey. It just feels weird that Matt is walking away from the role so soon. But he is a talented fellow, and the world is his Tardis after all. I have yet to watch the 2nd disc of Part II. With Clara it is rare that such a companion could change everything in such a big way. (and it doesn't hurt that she's amazingly beautiful) +
