It ruined Rose, it ruined Martha and it ruined Amy. It's the only reason I think Donna was the best companion since the revival.
It does get a little old. On that vein I'm looking forward to having a male companion as well, rory/jack were just secondary companions. Seems odd that the Doctor is apparently just looking for fun interesting people to travel with yet practically only does so with nubile young women.

Wouldn't you want to travel with hot sexy ladies if it were up to you.
I like quite a lot of Moffat's episodes, but I do dislike his attitude towards the series as a whole.
Most of series 5 was great, in fact especially Moffat's episodes, but I feel he got a bit indulgent in series 6 and 7. He just wants to shows off and self reference and it's never very clever.
I thought episode 2 was just dreadful. It was all just showing off, dinosaurs on a spaceship, 'because we could', not to mention brining in all manner of celebrity 'actors'. The actual plot was so low on the list of priorities it didn't really feature.
Still not as bad as episode 2 of last series, The curse of the black spot, probably the worst episode ever. Again an episode where the writers just said how can we get pirates into doctor who, and then didn't really care what it turned out like as long as there were pirates.
The best episodes are usually the ones that take place in relatively normal surroundings.

He does travel with male companions, Rory's Dad for instance, and I think he showed Donna's Dad around? The thing is, it doesn't make good television cause there is no sexual tension . so they just say he's traveling with them instead of showing it.
Think were stuck with attractive female + The Doctor

On another note, I'd like to see a female doctor.
He never traveled with Rorys dad. The post Cards were of Brians trips on Earth; the doctor offered further travels on the power of three and he said no. No idea about Donna's Dad, I dont recall. I think it could be good television to have a kind of quirky Doctor with maybe an action hero type male. Oh well.

His name was Cap'n Jack
Glad to see the back of Amy and Rory. I didn't really feel like they offered much, Rory was appallingly weak-willed towards his wife and pretty bad at being forceful when fighting for her. Add to which the quality of the writing does seem to have gone downhill a bit.
Here's hoping the new companion will be a bit more interesting. I liked her attitude in the episode so far and it might be refreshing to see someone who can match the Doctor on an intellectual level for a change - anyone remember Adric or Romana? Seconding the hope that she's not taken with the Doctor, but we have to remember that River is on the scene and her and the Doctor are starting to heat up.

OMG Romana was awesome!!!! Lets hope they bring her back for the 50th aniversary (one can wish) Adric was a really good companion aswell, he even got a little nod in the power of three. We need more companions like the old ones well except susan, oh god i could not stand susan...

Donna's dad was the companion for Tennant's last episode which I loved. Bernard Cribbins was the actor and it was one of my favourite pairings in the show. Could definitely pull that off for a few episodes.
I don't know how the Oswin/whoever thing is going to work but it would be really nice to have an alien companion (or at least slightly non-human) for a bit. I think we know enough about the Doctor and the universe that we don't need a human conduit anymore.
One news article I read has either spoiled it for us or just completely miss-interpreted (or maybe I did) the first episode of this series. I'd imagine it's the latter but they said + Show Spoiler +
Oswin was turned into a Dalek and was human before. She'd probably recognise the Doctor I suppose but regardless. I'd like it to be a bit smarter/more satisfying than that.

Cap'n Jack would be an awesome companion indeed. And Ecclestone as Doctor please, all the other guys were all over the top. One can dream...
Who remembers the episode where the doctor claps and the tardis doors open? I wonder if anyone else remembers that he can do that (but we also never see the tardis key anymore either).

But yes, I really have disliked this season, with the first and last being the most indulgent, but in a way that makes you feel dirty for actually enjoying it...

I am all for the theory that the episodes are in reverse, would probably make it more watchable
That is probably the right word for certain parts of this season: indulgent. Especially the beginning of Asylum of the Daleks and the last episode.
I would say that probably also goes for "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship". On the other hand I never had more sheer fun with a Dr.Who Episode so I am willing to forgive anything there.
Overall I have no problem with Moffat or his work some of his stuff is good some isn't. He did my favorite episode in the new series and one that I would place at the bottom if it wasn't for "Fear Her" which I simply HATED.
EPT
. so they just say he's traveling with them instead of showing it.
