The show constantly pimping and propping up said character and romance + an overly defensive, vocal fanbase for that particular ship = More attention paid to Rose/Doctor.

Anyway, I must have misinterpreted the secret, I thought it was sort of a comment on the shallowness Rose exhibited during the fake regeneration scene. For all the shippers claiming they ship Rose with any and all Doctors, it seems Rose and the writers don't.

I didn't really think it was shallowness at all. The Doctor changes when he regenerates. Yes, he's still essencially the same person, but he changes dramatically in personality as well as looks, and it must be a really rough thing to deal with from either side. It's an adjustment, it's abrupt, and it takes time. If the Doctor had already been regenerated by the time she found him, I think she would've adjusted fairly quickly. But seeing him, and then seeing him freaking get shot before they even say hello...I think it's safe to say that's a wee bit stressfull.

Honestly, I'm tired of everyone casting incredibly human reactions of Rose's into the most negative light possible.


I kind of like seeing fic where Rose interacts with Five or Six (especially Six; it's a thing of beauty. Now Six and Donna...that would be even moreso...), but I don't see why it has to be Rose with every version of the Doctor who came before. As someone pointed out, if you meet someone and fall in love with them when they're thirty, it doesn't mean you would've when they were twenty.

Honestly, I'm tired of everyone casting incredibly human reactions of Rose's into the most negative light possible.

Again, I see the "casting Rose's reactions in a negative light" as another reaction to the show telling the audience how GREAT Rose is. Compound that with her rabid fans telling everyone how human and great she is (while in the same breath slagging off other characters for having a very human crush, but that's a whole other topic), and you're bound to get some fatigue. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's understandable IMO.

As for me, I honestly did find the character bratty and immature during the last two episodes. I wanted to like her like I did during season 1 and most of season 2, but I found her actions not very endearing.

Back on topic...

As someone pointed out, if you meet someone and fall in love with them when they're thirty, it doesn't mean you would've when they were twenty.

That's true.

Re: 128

It's not about how GREAT Rose is, it's about how horrible she isn't. Rose isn't OMGtehbestestevah! But she's not this horrible cow that everyone seems to think. Honestly, I'm confused by the people who love Martha, but then gripe about Rose being romantic with the Doctor (I'm not a fan of Martha for reasons mostly unrelated to the crush. The crush wasn't her fault, it was the writers, but it got tiresome).

The only time I see fans talking about her being great and human is in a defensive reaction to people saying that she's the worst piece of garbage ever to appear on the show. We certainly don't sit around and swap stories of Rose being amazing (or at least, no more than we do about the Doctor, Donna, Martha, Sarah Jane, Jamie, etc...)
