riveralwaysknew:

She was the companion during the 50th, and at the same time she was every companion during the 50th – and it was the greatest tribute to them. Because she was perfect, she did what companions did best – reminded the Doctor who he really was – not the man he saw himself to be – but the one he was to her and everyone else. She kept him honest. And she did what companions have always done, she saved him. And In that moment I could see every companion in the Doctor’s past, in her, and it was glorious.

When they made this particular hero, they didn’t give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn’t give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter, they gave him a call box from which you can call for help. And the didn’t give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray, they gave him an extra heart. They gave him two hearts. And that’s an extraordinary thing; there will never come a time when we don’t need a hero like the doctor.
