Two years does feel like an awfully long time in DW. I mean, much as I loved Donna and wish we could have had a second series of Tennant 'n' Tate, I think two would have been enough as it gets difficult to find anything new to say about them and anything new for them to see or do, doesn't it?
It might be that the companion's the one who gets backstory and development so after two years theyve been strip-mined bare? I mean Rusty even seemed to run out of stuff to do with Rose in her second year. Compare it to her first and it's astonishing. And Amy did do rather less in those terms this year. After a point they have to go, which is why I'm always saying Ace should have left if they hadn't cancelled her.
