Well, I don't actually think that was mean to Rose in TGitF. A bit dismissive at times, but no worse than he can be at other times. Part of it is that the writer's priorities felt wack. Because this is Mickey's only full story with the group, as he's leaving next week, plus, we only have this one season of Rose, which they all knew, and yet he felt it was all right to write an episode without at least finding out what had happened in the last one. Or maybe he just felt pissy about not being in the loop about Bad Wolf and Torchwood. I don't know.
I just know that TGitF feels wrong to me, like the episode of a show that I wouldn't really like all that much, so I don't like having it in Doctor Who, which is a show that I've really been enjoying. Just... if this is what the show were, on a weekly basis, I wouldn't have watched past the first episode. I don't like the frivolousness of it, don't like the main character, don't like the way it treats love as if it were a party treat that you can pick up five for two dollars. Rose and Mickey are about the only parts of it that I do like. Okay, I did like the horse.
