It was quite sad for me. I could have liked her more than I managed to, though. Mickey worked cos he was this amusing semi-reluctant hero people kept picking on and that's not the type either. It confuses me.
*shrugs*
Don't know. I liked Mickey all the way back in Rose (the childish, prodding relationship that he and Rose had amused me).
I think fandom did not help by telling me she was the best thing ever. *ponders*
People always think well of the characters that they like. It's nothing new. I like Rose best of all the companions that I've met.
She can't keep travelling forever, so they have to leave her somewhere, yeah? And the series is huge on family and this year has had a couple of moments that felt like quiet disapproval of Rose taking her own family rather for granted (played against the increasingly explicit rendering of the Doctor's loss as "family"). She just doesn't know what she has and it's quite sad.
Hmm. I suppose one could take it that way. On the other hand, if someone told me that I don't 'know what I have' with my family and that I should move back in with one of my parents or even have them more in my life than they are, I'd be half-tempted to smack them. Moving backward isn't a good answer to me.
I want Rose to move forward, whatever it is that she ends up doing.
Even if it hadn't gone on at vast length about family and the cost of the Doctor's lifestyle, what else could they really do with her to write her out? Death's just cruel, and incredibly depressing, and she can't just get abandoned somewhere.
She could choose to get abandoned somewhere to save people. I do want it to be something that she chooses, but I don't want her to go backwards. It would feel like such a waste.
