Even a mention in Torchwood would be fabulous. A phone call with Wilf (or even a meeting with Wilf!) and him telling Jack that Donna is doing something more worthwhile with her life. If that happened, then I will feel a little better.
Someone on my f-list, I forget who (dammit) posted a long, but well-reasoned rant about how spending time with the Doctor usually *improves* a companion and, for a while, Rose *was* (ie, during her time with the Ninth Doctor) but then she was taken out at the knees (emotionally) and how bloody annoying is that?
Oh, yes, definitely! In "Turn Left", I sort of liked that Rose had become this mysterious person that wouldn't give her name. She was acting very Doctorish because one would assume she had taken up the role in the alt!universe because there wasn't anyone there to defend it. So for a while, I thought that she would have matured and after the adventure, asked the Doctor to take her back home. It would have been her choice to leave.
But noooooo, nothing ever happens the way we want! She went from mysterious!person to making a semi-snarky comment at Martha's expense (in "The Stolen Earth") to clingy!girlfriend left behind crying on a beach... AGAIN. At least, she, Martha and the Doctor had a giant group hug in "Journey's End" which made me SO incredibly happy. But yeah. I wished that they had shown that Rose *had* grown up in her time apart from the Doctor, but some things never change. *sigh* Oh well.
(I haven't properly vented about "Journey's End", only in minor outbursts in comments and to friends in real life).
