guess I just really don't see how there's any way that they could have written Rose that would have made you happy
*shrug* I could have liked her a lot more. Just it's all so fast and I have no PoV reason to latch onto her and, yeah, she's not a type I get that interested in.
Her character's premise is 'shopgirl who discovers her own potential' and if that's a storyline that you just innately dislike, it's doomed for you
It worked with me on Mickey for some reason. Sort of in the middle for Jack. I just... don't see Rose as really doing anything as great as her centrality might suggest. (And I realise that this may simply be that RTD is not that bothered about plot and activity and is more into emotional grounding, so if she's serving that purpose then on those terms it works.) She never... does anything that I wouldn't expect her to do as a matter of course. So it could well just be that her narrative role has no novelty value for me.
Rose going home really does sound like the most depressing ending in the world to me. If they do that to her, I probably wouldn't trust them enough to give series three a try.
Nothing else they can do with her really. I think she'll do something a bit fancy as well (investigate on her own like Sarah? Something like that) but it's homeward bound, I think.
