<Exterminate!  Eggs Stir Marinade!>

Nobody seems to like poor Tegan?  I liked Tegan.  She had the most realistic
reaction of any of the Doctor's companions.  She got sucked into the whole
thing by accident, and the Master had shrunk her Aunt into a doll, and the
Doctor caused her to lose her job, and her mind got all screwed up by the
Maya, and she saw through Turlow at the very beginning.

I liked her, almost as much as Leela.  Leela was a primitive, and was real
tough, but she was harder to identify with.  Tegan was real easy to identify
with.  She was never really given a choice about being a companion until later.

I also liked Adric, probably because he was the quintessential 14-year old
brat.  I was really upset when he got killed, because it was such a stupid
way to die.

I even like Turlow, even though he is a complete jerk, because he is such a
sleaze that it is fascinating to see why and how he can screw things up next.
