I love Rose, but she's not supposed to be coming back. It doesn't make sense in her storyline. And Ten/Rose might be big around the fandom, but this isn't bringing people together. Rose or the companion who keeps coming back... With each return the impact of her first 'ending' is weakened... To the point that, with my wibbly-wobbly viewing of DW, her series two departure did nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. Which is a shame because she was a very sweet companion, who deserved a grown-up closure. Especially with companions like Donna or Martha who have been so 'mistreated' in their ending and really would need a proper conclusion. Ugh, I was gutted about Barrowman because I love Jack, but understood the decision. Because it must be about the show, its spirit and beauty and way of seeing the world - have you seen this video and this one?. And Jack was a great character but not representative enough of the show. Same about River. But this U-turn... I trust Steven and Matt and David and Billie to offer us a brilliant, fun and entertaining anniversary. No doubt about it, it will be fantastic and memorable. But this is such a missed opportunity. Like reading about the original cast of A Midsummer Night's Dream with Greta Garbo and John Barrymore as Titania and Oberon... It's a bit hard not to bite back tears.
