I just finished watching Aliens of London. Recap in pictures to come later, and I have a few thoughts on the episode right now.

Poor Mickey right? I guess in the beginning Nine really didn't think that Mickey was a person to trust yet alone a person of interest that much being that Mikey really freaked out of the whole idea when he first found out that the Doctor was an Alien.Look at the first episode Mickey freaked out and the end and Rose I guess being Rose found out that there is more to life than just doing the whole same routine everyday. She was fascinated, I guess that there really were Aliens and didn't mind Traveling with the Doctor once she found it travels in time as well. I guess Rose thought that there is really nothing to lose sine it is a time machine.So she left Mickey,but you do have a point Rose really didn't care what happened to him each time she visit him it was more of a "hey,Hi guess what I did and you really wouldn't imagine where and when".I guess Rose thought that no matter what Mickey would still be there but Mickey wanted more from her than just a visit here and there.It is sad on how Mickey was treated not only by the Doctor ,but

I agree that Mickey was shown as someone who couldn't deal with the reality of aliens in Rose. But that doesn't explain the outright contempt that the Doctor has for him. I am happy that Ten warmed up to him, because he didn't deserve it. I must admit that I'm not bothered by how Rose treats him in season 1, except I do think she should have thought of him in AoL once she got done hugging her mother. By the time she leaves again at the end of the next episode, it's clear that she's gone off to see the universe and isn't interested in coming back to stay. I don't blame her for him not being able to get over her.
