I doubt that "Rose Two" can be expected from Moffat when it was Moffat who said of Journey's End that it was a clever way to get rid of the clingy girlfriend. On the other hand, I'm the one who said that, now one showrunner's done it, others'll want to try it their way. So who knows? However I'm a little dismayed that all the comments I'm seeing reacting to the news are certainty that either the commenter's worst expectations or best expecations are going to be filled, when we don't even know what the character's name is yet.
I very much doubt we'll ever get male companions. The production team seem to feel that the female viewers won't watch it without a female companion with whom they can identify...
Since, theoretically, Eleven's a new man (he's bound to have different tastes), there's no reason why he shouldn't reciprocate. Esp as Moffat's described Rose as 'the clingy girlfriend', implying HE doesn't think she's all that special (and he gave Ten two not-wives - Reinette and River).
I really like the fact that it's an unknown because then theres a lot more space for varied characters (I hope). And since series 5 filming will probably be starting anytime soon, I'm guessing that'll be her outfit which I find really cool. Apart from that, I'm just hopeful.
As someone who came into Doctor Who through New!Who, because I started watching the Classics (and I haven't watched many, but Three is my second favourite Doctor) I just take it as it is and I don't think about what's come before because it's still a young show in that respect. And there are some things I absolutely hate RTD for but overall I'm just glad it's here because it's really enriched my life and I still can't wait for the new series.
Ps: I watched the end of S3 on BBC3 and cried all over again. I really miss Martha!
