This also might have something to do with my tendency to see the potential in a character, and fault the material for not living up to that potential, rather than faulting the character him/herself

I am the exact same way! Which is why I fell a bit in love with Mel even before Big Finish came around. Because I saw a rather spunky, cheerful woman that was given jack all to do... everyone else saw a shrieky companion and Bonnie Langford the Obnoxious Child Star. Meh.

*huggles Big Finish*

I don't mind Adric at all. He's not in my top five, but I certainly don't hate him. He's actually my sister's favorite companion...

I am so very grateful to Big Finish for giving Mel another chance, but from what I've seen of her (and I'm afraid that hasn't been much, so far) I have to say I'm getting the same thing you are. She's just too cheerful for me to hate, no matter how often she screams.

As for Adric, I find that I really like the dynamic he has with his Doctors, and how his intelligence balances out his adolescent wish for attention/approval. Besides, he's so darn small. It seems mean to pick on him.
