Yeah, seriously. I hated what they did to Sarah Jane in School Reunion. She was totally fine when she returned in K9 and Company and The Five Doctors, then fast forward to her return in SR and she's this bitter woman who claims to be miserable and her life was totally lame and whatnot. So pathetic. And then the Rose departure.
Sure, the Doctor is like an extremely amazing person and maybe it's not that hard to believe all these people fall in love with him but it makes them really pathetic when he can't return it the love and besides --he's like a thousand years old and when I look at him I have to think of who he was before. I don't want to think of William Hartnell shacking up with a little blonde chavvy girl.
The season season (and all the batshit insane Rose shippers) made me dislike Rose, but this episode, with all the stuff said by Donna and the Doctor, kind of made me rethink some things. I hope that this season will make me like Rose.
The season 3 finale and the Voyage of the Damned were pretty disappointing to me so hopefully this season makes up for them by treating the characters properly instead of making them lovelorn emo puddles of goo.
My personal fanon about School Reunion was that Sarah Jane had been having one of those, "What have I done with my life?" weeks before the Doctor showed up, and seeing him running around with a bleach-blonde teenager put her in more of a mood. Her actual reasons for not having major involvement with a guy being 1) having absorbed a little too much of that attitude she'd picked up at the beginning of SJA, and assuming that being involved with someone less capable of looking out for themselves than the Doctor put them in danger (perhaps she'd had a bad experience on that score) and 2) as sweet as Harry was, they really weren't compatible in the long run.
