As a fan of the old Dr. Who shows from way back, I know better then to get too attached to any companion.
Heh that was something that I found interesting actually. Rose left in a really intense fashion, at the time supposedly for good, and people got told that get used to how DW works, and don't be mean to the new companion. And then some of these same people freak out when Martha is going to temp leave, even when we all know that she's coming back. Whenever Rose or Donna came up, there's almost always comments along the lines of how urgh terrible those actresses are, and we want Martha to come back, I want to kill the writers at the thought of Rose coming back. And yet "Rosefen" and "batchippers" are generally the only ones seen as somehow apart from the rest of fandom for their attachement to a character?
Eh idk, there seems to be a lot of double standards all round really in this fandom, and however places like f_w like to paint it, as if one side is really any less wanky than the other. I feel the most sorry for me, who just wants to get on with watching the show, and not be exposed to hate for any of the new series companions! :P
