Really? I don't think I've noticed that. What are you thinking of in particular?

I can kind of see it, a bit, with regards to season 7 stuff, where there was the (rather poorly-written) sexual tension with her and the Doctor, but that's mostly gone away in season 8. And even then, she was perfectly fine with Clara, Jenny, and Strax.

Same. There are a million reasons I don't like Clara, but I have no idea where OP is getting "competitive" from.

How is she competitive? She's behaved fine with pretty much every guest cast member, and hasn't been overly clingy with the Doctor.

I don't know, Clara seems on the far side of chill. When they're teaming up with the Victorian-era companions and/or River showed up that time, she's been pretty much the-more-the-merrier.

Yeah, I think we're going to need an explanation on this, OP...

OP here: Clara's reactions to River, seeing Amy's picture, etc.

I remember there was that special episode where the tardis showed her all the companions and she was like "what the fuck are those legs are they even real" on Amy but that was pretty much it. Not to mention the whole thing about her seeing every Doctor's incarnation so she must've been okay with the whole "having another me" thing that pissed Rose off.

I don't agree. I'm not saying you have to like Clara but she doesn't really have possessive tendencies in regards to the Doctor, at least not in the way Rose did.

Clara also already knows that she's not the only one in the Doctor's life, when Rose met Sarah Jane it was a bit of a shock to her, because despite that he was hundreds of years old he never talked about former companions so she naively felt that she was something different. The Doctor also didn't help in that regard.

I don't think Clara is interested in spending the rest of her life with the Doctor the way Rose was either. If Clara got too jealous I'd consider it OOC and bad writing (not that it couldn't happen because Clara has had some terrible writing...)

Yeah, the naive bit nails it. I think the character of Rose, for all she was supposed to be a streetwise council estate working class kid, was really sheltered and young for her supposed age. She was more like Adric in never even considering a world beyond her immediate surroundings and she never really thought about the implications of things. RTD resorted to some really old stereotypes and really outdated characterisations for her character (Rose was a very mid-90s BBC kids tv character). Clara is certainly anything but, and is -if anything- a bit too over-think-y. Now they've dropped the Impossible Girl angle (I did enjoy that when it wasn't the sole focus of the episode, but it was fairly flat in the episodes that centred around it) Clara is fast becoming one of the more realistic modern companions. I never thought I'd say that though.

AYRT. I agree. Rose was fairly young when she first met the Doctor, everything was a new experience to her and she really got enchanted and wrapped up in that life to the point that she didn't want ANYONE bursting the bubble. That wasn't just Sarah Jane, but she also seemed to develop the same feelings about Mickey or anyone she considered a threat to what she and the Doctor had.

Clara's gotten to be a little more "Well, I have my own life" sort of companion. But then she'd need to be considering 11 and 12 are both very the "I'll just leave without saying/not come back on time" sort of Doctor.

This is pretty much the opposite of how Clara comes across to me.

And because you mentioned it, I fucking hate how Rose acts towards other companions, it started with Sarah Jane but then it popped up again when she was all, MEEEEEEEEEE in that ep where the Daleks move the Earth. Or whatever happened.

I never liked that about Rose, either.

This is why Rose is my least favorite of RTD era (I don't hate her, she's just at the bottom of the list.) He jealousy was not cute and I really dislike writing that tries to make certain companions more important/special then others (see also: one reason I hate River Song.)

Rose was cool in series 1 but her attitude started to wear on me in series 2 onward.

It didn't help that they kept her after her arc was done. She was pretty much played out by the end of Age of Steel and the Doctor should have left her in the alt-universe then. Everything after that was just character assassination for her and for the Doctor. And the least said about her subsequent appearances the better. I don't know what RTD was thinking, it was bad storytelling.

your emotional intelligence is comparable to that of a turnip if you cannot tell between jealousy and frustration (re: the dalek move the earth ep).

omg serIOUSLY? SO LET'S SAY YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE DOCTOR FOR FOREVER NOW BECAUSE YOU LOST HIM AND THE WORLD IS FUCKING ENDING (WHICH IS KINDA SETTING A FUCKING TIME LIMIT FOR IT) AND YOU ALWAYS A L W A Y S MISSED HIM BY A LITTLE, A MINUTE OR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THERE HE IS, FINALLY, TALKING WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND YOU C A N N O T GET THROUGH, AFTER EVERYTHING AND... YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE WITH IT? Not even a liIIIttle bit annoyed or frustrated at the situation, honestly? Of course not because you're apparently a fucking saint who doesn't know the feeling.

What a pretty font and I like the colour The star dash is cute too.

On topic, I just saw photos from the Robin Hood ep and am ready to give it a go.

It was a really cute episode if you don't take it too seriously.

I think it'd be a great ep to start with 12th.)

Oh god yes. Did you see how she got at the tiniest mention of Amy. How's she gonna be when he finally tells her he's married? I'd love her to be able to meet Donna though. She'd take that silly child down a peg or two.

She knows he's married, he mentioned River being his wife on Trenzalore.

And I think anybody would react the same way if someone mentioned somone else infront of you, whom they think could've done a better job than you, but sure.

Different anon. I agree, I didn't take Clara's reaction as specifically being jealous of Amy or other companions, but more that it was kind of jerky for the Doctor to bring up Amy in such a way and Clara reacted understandably. Plus they were already a bit at odds in that episode anyway.

Donna a silly child? What show were you watching? Donna was awesome.

I think anon meant Clara was the silly child.
