Doctor Who: 8 Reasons Why The Tenth Doctor And Rose Suck

4. It Flattened Rose's Character

Although Whovians often participate in heated arguments, catastrophic enough to rupture the space-time continuum, most concur that Rose was an unforgettable companion, the stuff of legends. At least, until she made her untimely return at the end of Series 4. During this finale, she became a love-crazed, gun-adorned madwoman, hilariously strutting from explosions with a stony expression. She didn't even betray a hint of sympathy for the pedestrian in the background, unlucky enough to be caught within the radius of the explosion's impact and unfortunate enough to encounter the wrath of a lusty psychopath. Not to mention, she was unreasonably envious of all the other companions the Doctor had made in her absence and frustrated that she was excluded from their private webcam conference. What did she expect? That the Doctor would just mope around for the rest of his 12 lives!? Eh, probably. So, a once resourceful and courageous companion futilely struggles to create a "dimension canon" which actually worked (somehow) and, thus, she was able to reunite with her long-lost love. The fact that Rose spent two entire years (approximately) swooning and weeping over the Doctor is disappointing, to say the least. A preferable endeavour would've been her reconstructing her very own TARDIS, allowing her to explore this vastly new, parallel universe and assume the Doctor's role of administering justice throughout the galaxies, a fierce and voluptuous Time Lady, if you follow. Who knows? Maybe their time streams would collide and Rose might crash into the Doctor during flight? Let's save it for the fan fiction.

When she's writing about Doctor Who, she anticipates her reward: watching yet another Doctor Who episode. She also manages to read science fiction (especially Ray Bradbury), recite lines from Shakespeare's Macbeth, and make terrible puns in her free time (she likes to imagine she has great puntential, though)
