I get so much s**t on FB when I post about loving Rose. :c
Really? I've found the majority of people love the s**t out of Rose and will defend her to the point where I've been threatened for saying I don't like her.
They always b***h about her being an ego-centric b***h who is too whiny and a two-timing jezebel. D: True story. :c
I always get some 'sgdfeelsohmygodican'tevenfgfg doomsdayiloverose doctorsosadness rosedoctor4eva rosetaughtthedoctortoloveohsofeels' bollocks. My main issue is that 1) Billie Piper is a poor actress, 2) Rose from series two lost all personality, and 3) Rose became overly possessive and a Mary-Sue insert for fans who fancied Tennant.
I agree with point 3. However, points 1 and 2 I disagree with. I think she didn't necessarily lose her personality, but become more of a stereotype. I mean, I think she almost become a little more bubbly and ditzy and lovesick for season 2. It's as though the writers tried too hard to pursue a love angle for the show than to do what they should have done, which is let the relationship and love interest between the two remain an undertone. And I don't think Billie Piper was a poor actress. I felt she was definitely good. Especially in the episode where Cassandra kept taking her over. And damn could that girl cry on cue. xD
I don't know; from my point of view, Billie Piper was no spectacular actress and was generally a bit lacklustre. She wasn't really an actress until she got into
Doctor Who, and I think that shows in that she often was quite wooden and not very believable as a character leaning towards being a chav (for me, she sounded far too posh). In part that was the writing (as it seemed that she was intended to be seriously working-class but not chavvy so that anybody could insert themselves), but I think Piper's acting declined as it went on and other actors outshone her. It was painfully obvious it was her bringing down the quality of the acting in the episodes where Rose returned. I can't tell whether it was because she simply lost her ability to do a vaguely Mockney accent or whether it was the ridiculous surgery she'd had that made it that way.
Part of Rose's personality drop was probably due to the way RTD disappeared up his own arse (much in the way Moffat has since done, since we see the same personality drop in most of his characters as well) and began to bodge bits of writing together, assuming that people would just insert themselves and be done with it.
