Re: Torchwood. Everyone died except Jack and Gwen (and I think Gwen's fiancee/husband?). Which I kind of liked, but I know it angered a lot of people.
looking back now, it bugs me that only the older, more "matron-y" companion got to have a friendship like that with the Doctor. Why the fuck couldn't Rose or Martha have had that? They had to have a romantic infatuation, because they were young and attractive.
Yes! I'll admit I never liked Rose. Just something about her character always bothered me. But I loved Martha, or rather loved her potential. Why did they need to make her so infatuated? She was so awesome and could have really stood on equal footing, much like Donna, if not for that frustrating romantic nonsense.
I haven't watched much Who since Donna. It still makes me sad, how her storyline ended. But now you've got me curious. I might have to check out a few episodes to see how it is now!
