Reasons for reccing: This is one of those pieces of meta that really shifted my view of the show, because it gave me a handle on the Eleventh Doctor era and its companions. Having loved Martha and Donna, I didn't really warm to Amy or season seven Clara (fell in love with her only in season eight) and this text managed to change my attitude and made me appreciate their story arcs. Key quote: "RTD era titles signified the final stage in constructing a character, whereas in the Moffat era they represent a character’s beginning and serve as a place of deconstruction."
