I wrote an entry about Rose before she reappeared in “Turn Left“, since a friend of mine challenged me to discuss her character for a meme.
I was incredibly disappointed to see that Rose’s character hadn’t grown as far as I had hoped by her proper appearance in “The Stolen Earth”/”Journey’s End”. I found her interesting enough to watch in “Turn Left” because it seemed like she had taken up the Doctor’s role in Pete’s World and had hoped that it’d trickle over into the last two episodes. And I had hoped that she’d choose to move on from the Doctor and stay in the AU, taking it up as her responsibility and be all ass-kicky at Torchwood. I’d definitely respect her as a character more.
BOY WAS I WRONG.
I haven’t properly ranted about Journey’s End and probably never will. And I won't clog your journal comments with my rant, because I think once I start, I won't be able to stop. I haven’t really seen it since it aired. I certainly was not happy the way it ended. And I felt so awful for Mickey. Was there even any interaction between Mickey and Rose at ALL, let alone a lack of goodbye (I can blame the ’no goodbye’ mostly because I think Rose figured she’d be staying with the Doctor - as did Mickey - so they’d see each other again)? Had their relationship become that strained? That dude deserved FAR better.
I still like Rose. I’ll still watch episodes from S1 and S2. But yeah. As far as wrapping up “her story” AGAIN, it was pretty awful. And even as someone who likes her, I hope HOPE that she'll never be brought up again. That chapter of the Doctor's life is over and he can have his closure and move on. I actually have a pretty good feeling this will be true, seeing as we have Moffat taking the wheel and a new Doctor next year.
I'm not current with the Torchwood rumor mill, but is Mickey going to show up? Because THAT would be awesome.
Also, I <3 Jackie. That's why I put her in my comic.
