Rose, always Rose

demeter918I can't get her out of my head. I swear, I've been rewatching the first two seasons somewhat obsessively and I'm just going straight to my favorite scenes with her. And I swear, I'm starting to get maudlin, just a bit, because every time I see her, I just fall a little Seriously, I am so much in love with this gal. I hope she has her own happy ending.
Also. Seriously, Doomsday? Some forget a certain critical scene in favor of the famous goodbye between her and the Doctor.
Rose was a lot of things in S2, some things make sense, others not so much. But one thing that I often notice is the lack of emphasis of why she fell from that lever. She wasn't weak, she didn't accidentally let go of the clamp. Rose fell into the alternate universe because she was saving the world. If she hadn't pulled that lever back up, the suction of the Void would have disappeared and not all the Cybermen and Daleks would have been pulled in.
A lot of criticism is leveled at Rose's character, but I remember this part and I feel like if saving the world twice is not enough... oh well. Can't win them all.
Also. For some reason, Doomsday makes me think of the Ninth Doctor, a lot. I'm not sure why.
I wish Christopher Eccleston had done just one more season. Then I wouldn't be faced with the uncomfortable fact that maybe David Tennant is leaving after the 2009 specials.
It's so late. I need to cut off my random ramblings.

It'd be like kicking someone when they're down. Ha. I suppose she dodged that particular bullet; man, I'm thinking about what would have happened if it had been requited love and how many people who have been enraged by it happening. ;)
