I missed a few episodes...


What amazing things did Yaz do that would make the Doctor think she was the most amazing person he'd ever met? Given that he knew River, and Rose, and Mary Jane, and Martha, and Amy, and Clara, and Donna, and the Master, to name a few?

The problem the show has is each doctor seems to act like their companions are the most important.

People often make out as if Rose is the most important person and the show did at one point, yet as a classic fan, I always saw her as just another companion, the latest in many

Sometimes people just say things to other people to make them feel special. Just because The Doctor says this doesn't mean they were necessarily being truthful, as we know The Doctor lies.

I think The Doctor is meant to be something in awe of regular people. Or at least, in New Who.

He often comments how awesome he finds human beings to be, or shows a little envy at people just having normal lives. Maybe The Doctor just think that all his companions are super incredible?

Oh that’s par for the course with the Doctor. Every companion is the best at their particular time. Sarah-Jane was his best friend, Martha saved the world, Donna the most important person, Rose the love of his life.. never let it be said that the Doctor is afraid of hyperbole when it comes to his companions.
