So Rose is gone at the end of the season. My immediate reaction was "dammit, didn't I make a bet with nos at some point that she'd be there till about episode 3 of season 3? I hope I didn't promise pr0n."
People who really adore Rose and the ship: I'm sorry, I know you must be upset and irked at people celebrating, but I do think this'll be good for the show. I'm Rose and ship-neutral - there are episodes where I love her/the ship madly and episodes where I cringe - but I've been really looking forward to seeing Ten with a new companion. One who's all his own and didn't travel with Nine first would be good, but I'm dying to have Jack back full time too. Two of them, please, Rusty? A boy'n'girl TARDIS team? Because going on past evidence - Ian & Barbara & interchangeable girl, Ben & Polly, Jamie & Victoria, Jamie & Zoe, Harry & Sarah, Tegan & Turlough, Fitz & Anji/Compassion/Trix - I like that setup very much indeed.
Or, indeed, two girls a la Tegan and Nyssa. Then there could be femslash? *hopes*
I doubt Rose will be killed off, whatever The Sun says. It seems too brutal for the kids - and yes, they did it with Adric, but he was one of three, not the sole companion/kiddie identification figure, and when they tried it with Peri they were forced into a crappy retcon. I'm guessing some sort of fake-out where she seems to be dead. But then, I'm in the minority that wants her to go home to her mum and realise her life is what she makes it, that she doesn't need the magic timeship to do something worthwhile in the world.
ETA: my housemate Kevin sez "if I had to guess, I would say the new companion will be played by... CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON."
I would *never stop laughing.*
