Susan Foreman appeared in fifty-two episodes, screaming fourteen times for an average of .269 screams per episode. If screaming fourteen times in her entire run still seems like a lot to you, remember that the average SPE of a tenth Doctor companion is 1.316 screams per episode. And the most frequent screamer in Doctor Who’s history, Amy Pond, managed to scream ten times in Vincent and the Doctor alone.

By making the claim, “Susan Foreman did nothing but scream”, one suggests that “on average, Susan Foreman did not exist in thirty-eight of her episodes”. Which is clearly a nonsense, as fans of the show will recall her laughing at daleks, setting skulls on fire, and trying to convince her grandfather not to kill people.

We all have our favourite companions, but if you look at the data, it becomes clear that the frequency of screaming isn’t as a large of a factor as one might think. Or indeed, as much as it is referenced as a factor.

“Average companion does nothing but scream” factoid actually just statistical error. average companion screams 1.316 times per episode. Screamer Georg, who screams over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

While Spiders Georg is the official meme of this blog, I have a point of contention. The average tenth Doctor companion screams 1.316 times per episode, the average for earlier seasons was significantly lower. The average scream per episode containing companions from the First Doctor era to the Twelfth Doctor era is .796. SPE has been increasing as the show progresses.

All this reminds me that I really ought to get on with logging the screams I have not done.

Tokoloshes can become invisible by drinking water. They can be banished by a spiritual healer known as an ngana. Some believe that Tokoloshes can be summoned by evil wizards to attack their enemies.

It is honestly a cultural tragedy that we will never know what Freddie Mercury’s twitter feed would have been like

thebreakfastgenie

I don’t believe Freddie would have twitter, being private and all.

He would, however, regularly update twitter accounts belonging to each of his cats. 

thenewgothicromance

You know what you are absolutely right. This is perhaps even a greater cultural tragedy than I originally considered.

nowhere in the book is it ever specified or even alluded to that crowley wears black, or that his serpent form is black… and frankly, our preconceived ideas of what demons are supposed to look like are holding us back from fulfilling the true potential of what we could do with crowley’s appearance… please consider…..
