Internet polls are serious.

Rose won the BBC America Doctor Who Companion poll!

First of all, YAY ROSE! :D As much as I like other companions, Rose will always be My Companion.

Second, butthurt abounds. The usual reasons on why Rose cannot possibly be the popular choice with sane fans and/or fans who aren't 14 year old girls with David Tennant posters on the wall. All I have to say is MWAH.

Thirdly, I accidentally took a 4 hour nap and I feel like crap. DAMN YOU, HEAT. Although maybe it will rain this evening? It's looking weird outside.

BTW, the popularity poll wound up like this:

1. Rose
2. Sarah Jane
3. Donna
4. Leela

(Really, Leela? I don't hate her by any means, but I'm always sort of surprised at how popular she is. Also, not sure where Martha or Amy finished out.)

That's one thing I tend to like most about a companion - when they're able to bring out different aspects of the Doctor. Not that that should be the only function of a companion, but I tend to focus on their interaction with the Doctor the most of anything.

Rose brought amazing things out of the Doctor - like RTD said one, she humanized him a lot. (For good or bad, that's how I was introduced to the Doctor, and I just don't care for him being all cold and distant.)

I'm absolutely with you on that one. Not the only function, but it is certainly one of the things that I think I appreciate the most in the companions. Rose is someone that I really liked because of her interaction with everyone she came into contact with -- Jack, Mickey, Jackie, Pete... I loved Billie's chemistry with all of her co-stars. She always made me smile (...well, okay she often made me cry, too, but that's beside the point!!! *LOL*)

Billie had FAB chemistry with everyone. There isn't anyone she interacted with that wasn't amazing, IMO.
