it's weird. i don't like not liking characters in this fandom. i'm fine with it everywhere else (don't really like buffy, don't really like kirk, etc), but in this fandom i want to like every companion, at least a bit. i do still like s1 rose -- she's selfish, but she's charming and funny. it's just that s2 makes rose and the doctor's relationship so fail... there is no reciprocity on the things either of them really truly wants, but neither of them are willing to let go or change, because they're afraid of losing what they have, even if it's not that great. which, again, would be an interesting story if anyone ever did something with it, but they don't. ;___;
