I was just discussing how it would be much less demeaning to women to have a more Batman & Robin (not the movie, the concept. The platonic concept too, in both senses of the term) -style dynamic, as it places the companion in less of an 'opposite and foil' role and more of an apprentice one. It seems that with a lady companion, writers just fall into the whole "she's everything the doctor's not! Stupid, ruled by emotion, slow to react! Ha-haa!" trap far too often. I guess Martha's the closest to a real apprentice-style companion that there's been, which is cool at least, but... must it be so rare?
