Skience!

[carmen_lj]

Following on from the Highly Skientific Results in this poll in which it was discovered Ten/Romana II was the hottest pairing of all and that there are several highly disturbing people reading this who clicked on decaying!Master, the monkeys in the lab are ready for shiny new data. And so I present a poll that may not be wholly accurate cause I'm a bit iffy with the books and haven't a clue about the comics. But the principle is sound. Oh yes. Skience!

Also note the brand new option at the very bottom of the poll. I now horribly regret not having that for the last one. Cause, yeah, it would have been useful.

*vague flailing at Who Qualifies As Companion Arguments* Meh. I put UNIT people in though they are not usually regarded as companions, 'cept maybe sort of the Brigadier. Who is Special in many ways, yes.

[Poll #735446]

And was or was not DT channelling Two all through that last scene in Rise o the Cybermen? I present this evidence:

Comments

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Apparently I would do 8 of the boys and 18 of the girls. I weep for my own h0rishness.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

*judges your h0rishness*

*but not too harshly, for you did not click the computer disguised as a dog*

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I just want to see who picks K-9. And also Adric and Mel. Because there's someone for everyone out there.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Mel is Bonnie Langford and Bonnie Langford is lovely on ice, yes.

[sabotabby]

I can't remember all of them. My childhood memories are too blurry.

*cries*

I always tended to crush out on the Doctor, anyway.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Doctors are best. :nods:

[alawston.livejournal.com]

In a story that namechecked International Electromatix and featured 'above, between, below' lines AND a rooftop rope ladder escape AND a Cybercontroller that just doesn't know when to quit (I thought Pete was going to cop a Toberman, I must admit) AND an alarmingly crap paramilitary organisation...

Where was I?

Yes, you're probably right...

[alawston.livejournal.com]

I ticked Fitz because I love him to bits but would rather go on a bender round smoky jazz bars with him before picking up Anji for the threesome at the end. Just so you know.

And I ticked Sam Jones, but that would be the angriest, angstiest sex ever known, probably involving whips, and possibly involving knives. Some things a fanboy just can't forgive, and she's most of them.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I sense issues. ::nods::

[livii.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen or read or listened to all of these people yet. *cries*

But I still managed twelve. Oops. Am I a h0r? (I left off some I have seen, yes, because I do actually have standards and personal taste. Honestly, yes).

And I had the exact same thought about Ten and Two. Yays for evidence tho!

*dances the other people who would Benton*

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Standards are surely over-rated.

I would blame Ten's impersonations of Two on self's attraction to Two, but that would be a lie. Still, I feel if I tell myself this often enough I shall believe it, yes.

[tekiclutch.livejournal.com]

Ya see, the problem with a poll like this is that the little check boxes become like, a compulsion. I'm pretty sure I just went insane and picked a bunch of companions I'm sure I'd never really... right.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. I believe ye, indeed, yes.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Heeee, Two!channeling! ^^ I noticed he seems to channel Six sometimes, too when he's scratching his neck.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Is it scratching or rubbing? Three was big on the neck-rubbing, yes.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

And was or was not DT channelling Two all through that last scene in Rise o the Cybermen? I present this evidence:

YES HE WAS. I COMPLETELY BELIEVE THAT TEN USED TO BE TWO. THAT IS WHY HE IS SO HOT.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I completely believe he used to be Four, too.

I just love DT in general, really.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

Ten is channeling Two but with Four thrown in. And that sounds worrying, now that I think of it.

Am torn. I ticked The Brig although I don't think I would, but Nick Courtney? Definitely would. But didn't do the same with Bonnie whose bum is one of the great wonders of the world merely because they didn't give Mel a mute button.

Also, given how it's going at the moment, I'm imagining Jamie/Jack right now and I think I've sprained something laughing... "Nice thighs." *grope* "Gaunae no dae dat?"

Of course, next we'll need a Wouldness survey of the apocryphal Doctors and Masters since we have apocryphal companions... mm, Doctors And Masters, that sounds kinky already.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I wish I could be bothered with many clicky boxes that give degrees of likliehood and stuff. But I'm just far too lazy for details.

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

Cower before the hotness of Teh Brig!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

These polls help cure my worries about fancying people who were Childhood Heroes o mine, oh yeah.

[jonquil.livejournal.com]

^^ (points up)

See what I mean about the eye-crossing?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Ya, it is merely adding to his shiny methink.

[ethelfleda.livejournal.com]

*waves*
Teh Nos sent me, because of the Science, and I have contributed.

For those who have ticked K9 should there not be a requirement that they detail how exactly? There are whole different levels between 'Wrong' and 'OMG that is so Wrong I'm going to have to wash my brain out'.

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

I ticked K-9 because I'm sure he can be made to use attachments. Which might not be as brain-hurty concept-wise as, well, other things.

[the-10thdoctor.livejournal.com]

*clickity* Romana II makes me feel a bit gay inside.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

That just means you is ALIVE. Yes.

[tellitslant]

Got pointed here by Nos, and not only is this utterly hilarious, but I think I must friend you now, because I am adding Who people to my flist and, yes. *g*

[calapine.livejournal.com]

It is sad that I have trouble talking about things that aren't Who. *flails obsessively*

[ionlylurkhere.livejournal.com]

I almost voted for Harry. Almost.

I'm the only person so far to vote for Trix. *has slight shame*

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I almost voted for Trix then didn't. I think because she only really came into her own for me in The Gallifrey Chronicles? And also because I picture her played by the actress who's Alice in The Vicar of Dibley, except not a moron?

I would totally go for a threesome with her and either Fitz or Anji, though. *waves flag of Trix/Anji OTP*

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I am feeling very conflicted over voting yes for Ian and Barbara. I think they're both attractive, yes (Barbara in particular is gorgeous), but they're my telly parents, or at least my telly aunt and uncle who I want to make me tea and sandwiches when I run away from home.

AHistory would have me believe Barbara is my age (23). I sporfle much at this notion.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I was Quite, Quite Terrified the first time I found out that I was now older than a companion.

And that is the problem I have with the Brig. He is like my DW Uncle who guided me throughout the shiny series and yet he rather hot in younger years. IS WRONGNESS!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I'm not the only one tracking this on a spreadsheet, am I?

Anyway, the current Companion Top Ten, as of me refreshing about a minute ago...

1. Jack (30)
2. Romana II (26)
3. Sarah (23)
4. Mickey (22)
5. Leela (18)
=5. Romana I (18)
=5. Turlough (18)
=5. Ace (18)
9. Jamie (17)
10. the Brig (15)

Interesting, we're at exactly 5 boys and 5 girls right now. And the hottest pairing in the fandom is evidently Jack/Romana II... (or Jack/Mickey for the slashers, or Romana II/Sarah for the femslashers)

[tellitslant]

*is absolutely not trying to write Romana/Sarah, nope*

[padawanpooh.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for Skience!

Huzzah for Two!

Huzzah for Slutboi Alien Tease ;-D

Gosh I love Doctor Who!!!

And for the record I said Benton (Yay Benton, whoopin' Yates in the popularity stakes as he jolly well should), Ace *refuse to psychoanalyse that one* and Captain Jack (well quite frankly, who *wouldn't*?)

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I think I shall be a bit judgey at anyone who click Yates, yes. Benton I can understand, though he did get knocked over by a big red dress.

[lonemagpie.livejournal.com]

Well, I voted to do:

Babs, Victoria, Zoe, Jo, Leela, both Romanas, Peri, Mel, Ace, Grace and Rose.

I didn't see a checkbox for Sarah though this may be just my eyesight going after so much fanwank - if she's an option, take it as read I'd shag her too.

[lonemagpie.livejournal.com]

Wait, managed to go and add a vote for Sarah.

And forgot that I also voted for Nyssa and Tegan.

[pextheunalive.livejournal.com]

Purely shagging, yes? Chose teh following, with reasons outlined when I feel them necessary or useful:

Het - Susan, Vicki, Polly (zomg!Legs), Zoe, Sarah Jane, Leela, Nyssa, Tegan, Peri (not really my type, but it's my obligation as a hetero Who fan to pick her), Mel (see Polly), Ace (Remembrance version with the white t-shirt and hair combed to one side), Rose, Benny, Anji (still mad at Brits for calling her Asian and making me think she was Oriental, but yeah, threw her in anyway), Sam, Charley

Gay (I'm not, but if I were, I'd pick) - Ben (I love that accent), Adric (It would be so fun to corrupt his wee little mind), Mickey (Accent, again)

Three's Company Division) - Ben & Polly (60s, 'nuff said), Romana I & Strella, Romana II & Astra, Romana I & II, Nyssa & Ann Talbot, Nyssa & Tegan, Sam & Dark Sam, Mickey & Rickey (Me likey twins...) ;)

Hall of Fame (Top Five, in no order) - Rose, Sam, Polly, Vicki, Susan (Ben is top non-het pick)

[alawston.livejournal.com]

From what I hear about Mr Waterhouse, be VERY careful what you wish for re: Adric.

Surely the Kapoor name and constant references to Hinduism were a more than fair indication of Anji's subcontinentalism?

[brak666.livejournal.com]

My only regret is that I couldn't check Jamie twice.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I could have put in his alternate form in The Mind Robber...

[that_mireille]

With some of these, I would like to add the footnote "but only if they were several years older than they were in canon."

And I did not pick the little tin dog. *g*

I feel so limited by my orientation--there are lots of lovely, lovely men in that list, and I just... wouldn't. *g*

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Ra! I ignore me orientation and pick pretty people and just assume that I would get to be gay for a bit or summin'.

[getawaywithit.livejournal.com]

I come to help with the science and also point out that you missed Compassion off the list of non-telly ones and I definitely would, in both forms.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Aaargh! And I knew about her and all. Hrrm.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

If one was, perhaps, very sad indeed, one might download this spreadsheet, periodically update column C of the first sheet with the votes for each companion, and marvel at the magical ability to track the hotness of each pairing, as scientifically calculated by the mathematical wizardy of Adding Their Scores. Also on the second sheet you can see the hotnesses as a percentage relative to Jack/Romana II, which seemed to be the obvious winner (I should have put in a macro to allow selection of the control couple. Dammit. Maybe version 2.0)

Yes, I do have far, far too much time on my hands.

I have not Excel! ::weeps::
