Thank you for saying something about Tooth and Claw. I really, really, really didn't like that episode because I thought the Doctor and Rose were acting extremely stupid and out of character for both of them I agree that led me down the road from really liking Rose to just trying to remember that, yes, I do like the character, just hate her series 2 writing.
IIRC, I wasn't too annoyed when I first saw it, cause then it was GitF'ace and School Reunion and I thought they were actually going somewhere with Rose's story, but no, turns out the unlikeableness followed by finding out about other companions then seeing the Doctor in love with someone else was building up to almost a half season of crap stories.
I do love IP/SP though. Except the version in my head cuts out the smug laughter at the beginning and Rose's suicide attempt because WTF?! Otherwise, awesome. That should've been Rose's penultimate story as it showcases so much about her, and how she's changed.

Weirdly, though I like her better overall in s1, all my favourite Rose moments are s2.
"I should do one for each companion too. But that seems like it might take FOREVER."
BUT IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
I've forgotten SO MUCH of Old Who. I need to rewatch it all. There's a project for 2012-13 - finish it all by the 50th anniversary! Or, by my 50th b-day next October! Yes, I'm just a bit less than a year older than DW.
"RIVER'S DEATH. I really can't watch it anymore, that is the worst of ALL THE THINGS"
Being a masochist who loves to cry, I rewatch it. But I keep closing my eyes at Ten's reaction. IT'S ALL TEETH. I just imagine Eleven seeing it and it makes me even more verklempt.
Agreed on Tooth and Claw SO MUCH. I can say definitely that episode was the first one where I thought I might not love Rose. Sadly, it turned into outright dislike at times, and that made me ANGRY. It didn't have to be that way.
Four's awesome anger at the Captain's collection of shrunken planets
when four yells at him, "But what is it for?" and he sounds so anguished - it's such a great moment. fantastic bit of acting from baker, especially affecting because of how four so often seems slightly detached from everything going on around him. it seems more shocking when his emotions slip out like that.
