"The *Doctor* believes they are. Not too sure that *Rusty* believes they are."
Does anyone else find the show's tension between the idea of 'ordinary' humans and 'extraordinary' humans (i.e. companions) really, really annoying? The Doctor said in Season 3 that all humans are extraordinary, but there's a definite hierarchy in the way he picks his companions -i.e. not one of the 'ordinary' humans in 'Midnight' were shown to be potential companion material. Any thoughts on what the required qualities to turn an otherwise ordinary human into an extraordinary companion are?
