When the series re-debuted Nine was never without his new and improved sonic, and yet of the modern three he used it the least. It was most often employed as, well, a screwdriver, or at least a more conventional multi-use tool. He scanned the victims of The Empty Child, but he never gave any indication that he was using it as anything more than a flashlight. Sure, Rose and Nancy took it to repair a barbed wire fence in the same adventure, but the very fact that he so casually tossed it off was a good indicator that he wasn\u2019t all that dependent on it.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now that Matt Smith\u2019s time has officially come to an end, I hope that he takes the sonic with him when he leaves. His Doctor\u2019s screwdriver has long since jumped the shark from improbable piece of technology to plain old magic wand. You even get moments like \u201cThe Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe\u201d and most recently in \u201cCold War\u201d where when he is without the device or runs into one of its rather contrived weaknesses he becomes almost completely inept and ineffective. More than any Doctor in the history of the show, Eleven is dependent on the sonic to accomplish anything.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
