I've broken up with Who. I just can't anymore. What Moffat did to Amy and River was the last fucking straw, and yet another Pretty Young White Girl Destined To Get Screwed Over as the next companion only seals my resolve.
I am, however, thinking of going back and watching some of the older series (which are all on the UK Netflix now, hurrah!), in no small part because they actually did have companions of different genders, and non-human companions, and more than one companion at once, and companions who developed interesting relationships with each other, and no companions swooning over the Doctor. IIRC they were pretty uniformly white, which is annoying, but varied character dynamics are enough of a draw to me after years of this shit.
