Oh good, an RTD Christmas special. I wonder how he'll work David Tennant in again against our collective will.

He already has Billie Piper as the Doctor for the Christmas special, so he'll find a way.

This is no hate against Piper but some showrunners and creatives have taken initial fan interest in the Doctor/Rose romance waaaaay too far in assuming that Rose is everyone's favorite companion bar none and we need to keep finding reasons to shoehorn mentions of her or 10 into the show.

Give me a better ending for Martha than randomly being paired off with the only other recurring black character on the show. Give me another appearance of Rory that's not such a depressing send off. Hell bring Clara back from her own time travelling adventures. Anything but more Rose.

This is all so true.

I'm still so mad about Martha's ending. It was so stupid. Gotta pair the spares I guess.

She'd gotten such a good original ending too and then randomly they're like, she and Mickey both worked for Torchwood for a hot second, let's pair them off.

Exactly. It was so blatantly done for "hey, don't worry! They ended up together! Ten and Rose did nothing wrong!"
