Jen's opinion of Rose is similar to mine. I liked her much better with Nine than Ten.

I like Rose, but I like Martha and Donna better, too.
For some reason, my memories of Nine are hazy. I need to rewatch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Donna is so fucking awesome, it amazes me. I like Martha close second best, then...well, I don't dislike Rose, but you'll meet Amy soon enough and I like her more. Of the chick companions, anyway. Trying to rank them with the boys makes things confusing.

Are there bicycles out there for giant out of shape people without good balance?
They make three-wheelers for grownups. Not the easiest things to stash, I imagine, but no balance worries, and they've got cargo space behind the rider.

Is there a good spot in the new who to start watching Torchwood also?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sumi, try a cruiser or a European city bike. They're meant for not-fast rides on paved roads, not for racing or trails. They let you sit up instead of hunching over the handlebars. REI sells some cruiser bikes suitable, as do some other places. City bikes might be harder to find, but worth checking out. I don't think you need a larger bike, just something easy to handle and comfortable to sit on - look for a wider seat. Go someplace with people who know bikes who can help you find the right one, and definitely try before you buy.

Oh, yeah, Donna is by far, far, far, far, far my favorite companion. Amy has grown on me. Rory is pure love. I didn't know how much msbelle knew about what/who was to come, so I just kept to the first two. Donna and Ten were so awesome together. Donna was so awesome just as Donna.

They make three-wheelers for grownups.
I want one of those SO MUCH.
Donna is the best, Amy (and Rory) and Martha tie, and Rose is last in terms of companions for the Doctor. And I think little Amelia Pond would have been the best of them all.

How Many Stephen Colberts Are There?
There used to be just two Stephen Colberts, and they were hard enough to distinguish. The main difference was that one thought the other was an idiot. The idiot Colbert was the one who made a nice paycheck by appearing four times a week on “The Colbert Report” (pronounced in the French fashion, with both t’s silent), the extremely popular fake news show on Comedy Central. The other Colbert, the non-idiot, was the 47-year-old South Carolinian, a practicing Catholic, who lives with his wife and three children in suburban Montclair, N.J., where, according to one of his neighbors, he is “extremely normal.”
