She got caught up in the unstoppable Moffatness of Moffat and her character suffered a lot by assocation.

I liked her a lot personally. It's hard to tell how much of that is the character and how much is the actor, but on the other hand, it's not like that's exactly uncommon in the history of Doctor Who. She's good and cool and criticizing her for being a plot device.

At the same time, it's really, really hard to think about her without thinking about the impenetrable morass in which Moffat entombed her. The pointless and absurd metaplots, and the endless stories about how the Doctor harms the people around him and that's terrible and what makes the Doctor special and is the Doctor special and is it OK for him to be a jerk and wow smart women like him anyway even though he's a jerk and I don't know if you heard this but Moffat is a really smart jerk and likes women and so is the Doctor and wow isn't that interesting maybe we should have another storyline about being a really smart jerk who has to learn to stop being a jerk so women will like him and whether the Doctor hurts his companions again again let's tell the same story again.

And, really, I can't blame people for getting annoyed about that and disliking anything associated with it. And it's not like Moffat!fans have a leg to stand on in complaining - see for instance the continued grudge-holding that does as a matter of actual fact exist against Rose.

Yes, this. I like her in fic, I like her in short excerpts, but I could not stand the Moffatt Morass. I would love to have watched the Bill episodes too, but same problem. And yes, I'm coming back to Doctor Who for Thirteen.

(Plus, there's people that hate every companion!)
