I wanted to like her more, but her mooning over the Doctor went on .... a bit too long for my taste.

(also, if I'd ship Micky with anyone, it'd with ... that guerilla/insurrectionist guy from the AU. I thought those two had more chemistry than Mickey/Rose did. :p

[(Anonymous)]

I liked Martha, but the romantic feelings really made it hard sometimes. :/

Also, wasn't that guerilla guy Parallel Universe Mick

[(Anonymous)]

(Oh fuck, sent early. Oops!)

Ahem, wasn't that guerilla guy AU Mickey's boyfriend? I can't remember if it was actually canon or not...

[masakochan]

I think there was a deleted scene from one of the episodes where it was heavily suggested (? IDK- my memory's kinda fuzzy on it) that the blonde-haired guy had either been with Rickey, or that him and Mickey would hook up eventually, or were possibly together at some point.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

There was - it pretty much outright stated that Rickey was his boyfriend. Mickey had a bit of straight-guy freeze.

[intrigueing]

I just think that the whole storyline would've been stronger if she'd gotten over her crush in the first half of the season. It got kind of eyerolling later on, not to mention it kind of distracted away from both their character arcs. It didn't have much effect on how much I liked her though.

Yes, and Mickey stole befriended Ricky's boyfriend bff after he died to hunt Cybermen. :D IT'S TOTALLY CANON. *fingers in ears*

[fenm]

Yeah, I didn't care for that angle in the first place (Doctor Who isn't a fucking harem show, for Christ's sake) so the longer it wore on the less pleased I was with it.

Though I do like that she finally went, "Yeah, I don't deserve to be treated like this. I'm out."

[(Anonymous)]

"(Doctor Who isn't a fucking harem show, for Christ's sake)"

So much this. Such a pity Moffat disagrees.

[fenm]

RTD wasn't really any better. Out of five companions he wrote (I'm not counting Adam), three of them had crushes on him.

[(Anonymous)]

and what's moffat's score?

[(Anonymous)]

As far as I can tell, also three out of four. Unless we're counting different Claras as different companions — modern!Clara doesn't seem to be crushing on him the way Victorian!Clara did — in which case three out of five.

[intrigueing]

Gotta kinda disagree on that one. I didn't mind the question of romance being addressed -- I mean seriously, why wouldn't a few companions develop crushes on the cool mysterious charismatic alien who takes them on amazing adventures? Magical Gallifreyan no romo pheremones? There's no remotely compelling reason to put a moratorium on ever trying out the idea.

And, to be quite honest, I think the opinion that "meeeeeehh! nooooo! icky! you caaaaaan't do lovey feelings stuff because it didn't happen befooooooreee when IIIIIIII was a kid and it's neeeeewwww and therefore it's wrooooooong!!!" is utterly ridiculous, narrow-minded, and actually extremely childish and immature (not that people who simple don't like romance in the show are wrong mind you, just the people who approach it in that way).

But there's a big difference between going "hey, lets touch on this idea a bit", and focusing a whole character arc on ~romance~. As if the actual adventures and ideas and characterizations aren't interesting enough for the audience to pay attention to or something.

Actually, given how much shipping wank there's been among sci-fi illiterate idiot teenage girls who you just know wouldn't give two shits about the show without the shipping, because they loudly make it quite clear they never pay a whit of attention to the 85% of amazing stuff in the episodes that has no UST-potential, maybe that's not as off the mark as it seems...

[fenm]

I wasn't referring to romance in general, I was addressing Martha's crush specifically.

[intrigueing]

Yeah, that's the one that bugged me in the show, because so much of her character's arc before the finale got kind of suckered into that storyline. Not to mention it seemed to be put in specifically in order to contrast her with Rose, which is...yeah.

[fenm]

Not to mention it seemed to be put in specifically in order to contrast her with Rose, which is...yeah.

Yeah. d-:

[silverr]

oh, right right right. "Ricky"

(heh, I so completely picked up in that. They were so MAN'S COUNTRY. :p)

[silverr]

I could be mis-remembering - I thought that "our" universe Mickey joined up with the IRA insurrectionist group.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

He did. His alternate had been a part of that group too.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed on both counts. I don't care if the actor denies it - Mickey/Jake is my headcanon. XD

[(Anonymous)]

The romantic side of things made me dislike the doctor more than her. His mooning was my problem

[(Anonymous)]

That's exactly why I hate Rose so much.
