But once you do see the awesomeness of Rose Tyler, there's nothing else quite like it, she's amazing and real and the best of the best; she's not perfect but she's wonderful.
I think that's really it. On the surface she's this young, common shopgirl. But start scratching the surface...
However, of more important note, she doesn't scream, companions always scream at everything, but I can only remember Rose doing it a couple times; she's more shouty, more like the Doctor.
Very true. Rose just was never a screamer.
Pretty much, yeah. Another point I don't get being that Rose was less assertive with Ten than Nine. I guess I see it as season one Rose argued, season two Rose *did*.
Good point. Also, there were just less *situations* in S2 for big disagreements to come up, like in The Unquiet Dead or Father's Day. Rose definitely did not turn into some sort of meek kitten in S2. She pushed the Doctor on the "is that what you're going to do to me" thing, she took off in the AU, she ignored the Doctor and did her own thing in Idiot's Lantern, she stood her ground with the Doctor in Doomsday... I'm sure there are more examples. And this doesn't even cover the non-Doctor-related assertiveness in S2.
Now, maybe on occasion she should have listened to the Doctor saying things would end badly by trying to go see her alt-family, but in the end it didn't take much reason for him to give in to her "You know you're going to say yes" eyes.
Oh, Rose definitely did not become this perfect always-right person either. There *were* a couple of times she should have listened to him - I'd be surprised if it were otherwise. One of her traits is that she can be rather stubborn, which reminds me of the Doctor. But you're right - where before the Doctor was just *adamant* about not seeing the AU family, Rose totally pushed over the Doctor in that scene by just a look. Heh.
I love that moment. She doesn't want Jackie on board all that much more than he does but I think she does still get some humor out of the Doctor's discomfort. It all "Um, Doctor you took off without a thought to the fact that you might be bringing my mother along. Not bright and you are going to pay for it from both of us."
Yup. I think she's just always really, REALLY amused by how much her mother sets him off.
Glad you ended it on a fun note rather than...well Doomsday.
