I don't know about bringing Rose back. There needs to be a limit on how often you break the narrative rules you use to create a tragedy. Otherwise Rose starts looking more like Toonces the Driving Cat than Rose. Bridging the mirror universes is a very bad thing, except when it isn't, except when it is, except when it isn't except when it is. And aww fuck it, who cares about narrative when you can have schmaltzy fanservice.

I'd say the same is true of the whole plot device of having three, then thirteen doctors show up to save the day. Crossing your own time stream is a bad thing, except when it isn't, except when it is, except when it isn't.

Honestly, I think Doomsday's tragedy was forever handicapped by her reappearance in the 4th season, and her subsequent write-off then was just RTD going "fuck, how do i get rid of her now? there's no logical reason she'd choose to leave him and i want the focus to be on donna."

So I don't really care how many times she comes back. Same with Donna. I mean, yes, narrative vs fanservice and all that, but IDK. What's the point of having a 50th anniversary if not for a bit of fanservice?
