We do NOT give Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith their props for their character growth in the Parting of the Ways. Rose is absolutely amazing, an absolute ferocious beacon of hope and stubbornness and bravery in the finale, the absolute reason why the Doctor lives and the world is saved and an equal hero to Nine, but she has a moment of doubt. A moment of hesitancy.
And Mickey Smith and Jackie Tyler step in and help her save the day. Both Mickey and Jackie give up on their idea of Rose and their hatred of the Doctor and help her pull open the TARDIS. Even within this one episode we see them struggle with their feelings and decide to put them aside and help do this because Rose is right- this is a better way of living your life.
Doctor Who is about ordinary people making extraordinary decisions and making themselves extraordinary and this doesn't just apply to official companions (who I love with all my might)- it applies to the people they love, too. We see it over and over again in Davies' era, with Jackie and Mickey and Sylvia and Tish and Wilfred and Francine and Harriet Jones and every one-off character as well, from Lynda-with-a-Y to Jabe to Gwyneth to Novice Hame to McDonnell to Sally to Chantho to Nancy to all the rest.
Doctor Who is at its strongest when the story is focused on the strength of the bleeding, beating heart of humanity (and character in general, in its non-humans), when the characters drive the story, when at the end of the day you understand why, for all of the world's flaws, the Doctor comes back over and over again because of people like this- not just his companions, but the Jackies and Mickeys and all the rest of the world.

love how Solar Opposites started out as a sitcom about two aliens who can't stand each other, stuck with their teenage clones (whom they also can't stand) & a toddler antichrist (whom they view as a sort of self-sufficient free-roaming hamster?) on a stupid planet they can't stand
and 4 seasons later it's a sitcom about a family of genderqueer aliens, headed by a gay couple in a happy & horny open marriage (with a graphic off-screen sex life, despite their canonical lack of genitalia?) teaching themselves to be okay parents to their 3 kids (whose Sci-Fi Antics now slightly-less-frequently revolve around wreaking havoc on human bystanders, and slightly-more-frequently revolve around alien-clone-sibling-bonding*), to the point that the central plot point becomes "We need to provide our toddler antichrist with a stable home environment."
(also the grumpy alien husband is too busy ingratiating his family with their suburban neighbors to even remember whom or what he dislikes. what is this show)

I think one of the funniest parts about the Humans Are Space Orcs trope would be explaining drugs/alcohol to aliens.
I imagine extraterrestrial kids being taught interesting points of human biology and culture in school as an elective course. Of course, they know that humans can sustain great injuries and still operate relatively fine, can survive dire conditions, have perfected an art of healing to the point where it is normal to feel entertained by watching humans harm and heal one another (enter Grey's Anatomy and House M.D and the alien kids being fully horrified that humans enjoy watching other humans die in detail on screen).
But they are not expecting humans to feel so confident in their bodily strength, to almost an invincible degree, that they find it socially acceptable to poison themselves for entertainment. To learn that some humans enjoy the consumption of poison so much that they actively seek it out, pay for it even. That humans have competitions as to who can drink the most poison in the shortest amount of time while experiencing the least amount of unhealthy consequences. That humans have holidays and traditions dedicated to drinking poison, that it is encouraged, expected even, for new human adults to poison themselves upon coming of age as to prove their worth and strength to the species.
All of this information is learned and followed up with a very understandable, what the fuck is wrong with that species.

Did you know flowers have patterns and lines called Nectar Guides, that are invisible to the human eye, used to draw in pollinators? That fluoresce under UV? Like when Luida used a torch to get Vash's plant markings to react?

I don't know if anyone else has made this connection but it was the first thing I thought of.

One of those "shortstack of a man" characters I created in the past
I named him Galactic Maintenance Dan (or just "Galactic Dan" for short) but I redrew him more stockier for that full shortstack man effect

MORE TRANSFORMERS WITH BOWS. MORE. MOOOOORE.
CROSSBOWS. BOWS THAT SHOOT PLASMA ARROWS. BOWS THAT SHOOT PHYSICAL METAL BOLTS. BOWS THAT SHOOT FIRE.
SMALL BOWS THAT ARE EASY TO CARRY AROUND ON STEALTH MISSIONS. GIANT INDUSTRIAL STEEL BOWS THAT ONLY A BOT THE SIZE OF ULTRA MAGNUS CAN DRAW.
INTRICATE, ARTISTIC, GORGEOUS CAMIEN BOWS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEIR WIELDER. PLAIN GRAY MASS-PRODUCED BOWS FOR M.T.O SOLDIERS THAT HAVE HAD NAMES AND SYMBOLS AND DOODLES ETCHED INTO THEIR METAL BY PEOPLE WHO ARE DESPERATE FOR ANY OUTLET FOR SELF EXPRESSION AND INDIVIDUALITY.
DO YOU SEE MY VISION. DO YOU SEE IT.

I made some spotify playlists with very specific vibes to imagine scenarios to!!
You're lost in the middle of the woods trying to get out but at least your radio has signal...
You're in a spaceship... it's suddenly hit by meteors and now you're counting down the minutes
Your alien best friend has come to visit and you're starting to realize you have feelings for them
Logging into your old account when you remember online friends you lost connection with
You're in a post-apocalyptic world with only a small robot as your companion
You're all alone at your birthday party
On a road trip with a frog but he gets cranky from hunger halfway through
You're solving a mystery... and your handsome assistant is looking pretty suspicious
You're dreaming about being a mermaid
You're ready to fight god
they all kinda have a story so if you're interested in that it's best played from beginning to end

Vincent Price - The Tingler (1959) dir. William Castle
For those who did not know about "The Tingler", it's a movie starring Vincent Price (of course). When it was released, director William Castle had an excellent gimmick to mesmerize and startle movie-goers.
Below is a copy and pasted article about said "gimmick".
During the climax of the film, The Tingler was unleashed in the movie theater, while the audience watched a climactic fight scene in Tol'able David (1921). The film stops and, in some real-life theaters, the house lights came on, a woman screamed and pretended to faint and was then taken away in a stretcher; all part of the show arranged by Castle.[12][8] From the screen, the voice of Price mentioned the fainted lady and asked the rest of the audience to remain seated. The film-within-a-film resumed and was interrupted again. The projected film appeared to break as the silhouette of the tingler moved across the projection beam. The image of the film went dark, all lights in the auditorium (except fire exit signs) went off, and Price's voice warned the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. But scream! Scream for your lives! The tingler is loose in this theater!"[15] This cued the theater projectionist to activate the Percepto! buzzers, giving some audience members an unexpected jolt, followed by a highly visible physical reaction. The voices of scared patrons were heard from the screen, replaced by the voice of Price, who explained that the tingler was paralyzed and the danger was over. At this point, the film resumed its normal format, which was used for its epilogue.
