I also don't think that it's a bad thing that she's not that compassionate. I wish they'd played with her flaws more instead of pretending they weren't there. It would have been way more interesting and not as facepalmy.
yes, this. i loved the episodes that actually seemed to do this, like father's day. RTD said that rose' most amazing moments came when she transcended her selfishness, but... he always writes her not doing that. argh frustrating.
Something S1 Rose always seemed to have the potential to do.
it's part of my conception of the show that this is part of the doctor's function in the universe -- to awaken that potential in the people he meets. seeing that consistently not happen with one character while it happens with all the others is depressing.
I got the impression that he and Jackie were really close, but that was about it. Poor guy.
