Some things are worth getting your heart broken for.

This is one of those episodes where I feel like the premise and the villains are almost unbearably cheesy, but the characters are so brilliant that it's still a good episode. I mean, as far as I'm concerned SR is nothing more than a vehicle for Sarah Jane/K9/Rose/Doctor awesomeness. (And no, I do not mean all that as a slash pairing. Get your minds ( Read more... )

But if I was torn from the Doctor like Rose was...I think I would have collapsed against that wall and not let anyone move me. I would just give up. But she went on and she worked for Torchwood and she made all her experiences worthwhile. And god, I respect that.THANK YOU!!! Of course she hurt, but dammit, Rose didn't go catatonic. She walked away from that wall on her own two feet. She built a relationship with Pete to the point that she felt comfortable telling him about her dream and calling him "Dad." She started working at Torchwood. She's a big sister by now. Judging by the advance pics coming out, she's still dyeing her hair and wearing track clothes. She's still *Rose*, dammit, and she's a hero in her own right ( ... )

And I think we can all agree that Liz Sladen is one of the foxiest older ladies around.

And and yes, re: Doctor worth the heartbreak. It worked for me in this episode so much.

Yup, pretty much. :D

I'm sure he never forgets anyone he's traveled with...but I admit I don't understand why he pretends they didn't exist. Did previous Doctors do that? Is it a post-Time War thing? Does it hurt too much to remember them?

From what I've seen, some former companions did come up in the classic series, but it was really a rare thing. And some companions would leave, never to be spoken of again. I think it was more an external thing - since the cast changed so often, they didn't want to spend much time looking back for fear of losing their audience going forward. Susan (his granddaughter) seemed to get the most play - she got a mention here and there even through Six. (Maybe even later - I've not seen everything ( ... )
