Bye, bye Five

promethia_tenkHave gotten through all of the Fifth Doctor. Probably my favorite writing of any Classic Who I've seen so far has been in this era (and Four's last season).
Tegan came out from behind to become the best companion, but I rather want a lot of Big Finish with all of them. Preferably some where everybody is a bit less crabby.
And I don't know if Five is my favorite, but I will fight anybody who says anything mean about him. And his magical foster home for tragically orphaned alien princesses.
In lieu of further commentary, please accept this picture of Peter Davison:
Damn, boy.
For my own amusement, I have been ranking all the companions as I watch. My criteria for ranking them is pure squee level, so this does not take into consideration things like general quality of stories and arc:
1) Leela
2) Tegan
3) Liz Shaw
4) Ace
5) Sarah Jane
6) Turlough
7) Romana
8) Nyssa
9) Adric
10) Mel
1000) Harry Sullivan
45024) K9
