+ Aside from Leela (Shall I kill him now, doctor?), K-9 is probably one of the most lovable characters on the show! --> Allen <-- ihnp4!ihuxb!alle

Well, so far it seems that everyone likes K-9. I guess my friends are just out of it. Is there anyone out there who didn't like K-9? Here in the Minneapolis area, we see one full episode around 10 p.m. Friday nights. I've been to areas of the country where they only show 25 minutes at a time, and all the people I know in those areas say it's a drag. And if you miss one part, you do have a tough time catching up on what's going on. -- Dave Marquardt -- ihnp4!stolaf!marquard

Not every one likes K-9. I, for one, did not happen to like the
little fellow that much at all. I admit that after so many seasons with him
on the show, he did grow on me, I never really enjoyed him that much.
K-9 could not stand on his own with the doctor, to begin with. There
must be another companion with him. Quite simply, K-9 isn't all that
interesting, although he makes a cute remark every now and then ('Piece of
cake. Relevence to the key to time...precisely 0')
While I'm on the subject of companions, one of my favorite gripes is
Romana, specifically changing Mary Tamm to Lalla Ward. Originally, in the
Time Key season, Ramana was simply fantastic. She set off the doctor
beautifully with her occasional barbs about his ability. However, when
Lalla Ward took over in Destiny of the Daleks(one of my most hated shows
ever) she seemed relegated to be another run of the mill companion. Oh
well.
Back to K-9, I recently saw Creature from the Pit, or whatever the
exact title was. My question, what in heaven's name happened to K-9's voice
in this episode.
