Rose Tyler needs to snuff it.
Oh, it has been prophesised, by a creature who may or may not have been Satan, that she will in the two part story ending of the current season but it really can’t come fast enough. So why does she need to join the choir invisible? Because she has become really, really annoying. Remember that little orange guy from Transformers: The Movie? Wheelie? You remember how annoying he was and how you wished Grimlock would just bite him in half … well, Rose may not speak in rhyme like some brain damaged moron but she’s still a hell of a lot worse than that vocabulary challenged git.
When we first met Rose (in the imaginatively named episode Rose) she was an emotionally lost directionless nobody. She worked in a crappy department store and had a spineless idiot for a boyfriend. She wasn’t a fearless scottish warrior, a plucky victorian girl, an expert with explosives or even an investigative journalist - she was a complete and utter nobody.
But she wasn’t too bad. She was prepared to get in there and have a go; swining on a cable like Tarzan to knock over a couple of Autons … not that it did much but anyhow. Perhaps it’s just that Rose looks competent only by comparison - her Mother will apparently go for any piece of meat on the menu and lacks brains of any merit while her boyfriend, as mentioned, is a spineless wuss you wouldn’t trust to open a door.
Since then she’s only gotten far worse. She went from completely-out-of-her-depth travel accessory in The End of the World to self righteous and quite uncaring little bitch by the time of Fear Her. A prime example: in Tooth and Claw, which involved the gruesome deaths of quite a lot of people via liberal application of a werewolf, Rose seemed far more focused and concerned over getting Queen Victoria to say ‘We are not amused’ than actually doing anything to help. Yeah … great form, Rose.
Simply put, Rose Tyler is one of the most annoying recurring characters seen on the series (yeah, Adric is still far worse … but hey, he snuffed it too!) and needs to go the way of the Dodo. If one were particularly sadistic, they may even wish for her to be Upgraded by the Cybermen and thus leave it to the Doctor to decide whether to destroy her or deactivate the emotion inhibitor so she goes insane and destroys herself.

you speak a load of blah and should have your brain fixed, you are a stupid person in a stupid world, get a life, and criticize yourself not flippin ROSE TYLER
I thank you for that well thought out and articulated argument. Really, I do. I’m not joking, really.
YOU NEED TO SNUFF IT YOU COMPLETE TWAT ALSO YOUR A SSPASTIC BRAINLESS NOBODY SO HA HA BOO SUCKS YOU
It quickly becomes apparent what sort of person is a typical fan of the Rose character.
I’m afraid I must respectfully disagree with your argument, sir. While I’ll admit that Rose Tyler’s character did get annoying from time to time, I thought that she was the perfect companion for the Doctor. You said that she was uncaring and self-righteous. Yeah, what evidence do you have of that? To me she seemed the opposite of what you described–caring, compassionate, willing to lend a helping hand and even a shoulder to cry on when the time comes.
Liz… you’re full of rubbish. Rose was the absolute worst companion to date. She had nothing to offer to the Doctor. I was so hoping she would’ve been sucked into the other dimension. That or have her face crushed by the Daleks’ sucking-type of deal thingy.
The idea of the Doctor loving her is absurd.
wat is rong with you rose tyler had a lot to offer the doctor, she had her own ideas n opionions to hand across as well as being able to lend a hand not like most of the other companions and i thought it was sweet that the doctor was in love with her. it showed he had feeling and could love… so u can just shut up about her being the worst
i’d like to see you act better?
Rose bimbo Tyler, by far the most annoying face on tv, crap character, the series revolved around her and not the doctor. the insipid half-witted boyfriend designed to make her look like a heroine and the washer woman mother was by far the worst combination of off siders ever.
stopped watching now its too painful, the makers really have lost the plot of what dr who was. personally if i had my way i would delete all of the last 2 series, say sorry we stuffed it and start them again.
oh and the new master looks scary like the old master doesn’t he (not) he would have made a good dr. actually.
hiya i love doctor who and thought rose was such a good companion but what you sed was soooooo funny, i was in pales of laughter!!!!! I have got to addmit that most of what you sed was true!!!!!
love amy(aka mrs tennant)
Look, Rose Tyler may have nothing to offer the Doctor and this is why they go so well together. He is lonly and she offers love and friendship.
“Everyone needs a hand to hold” and the Doctor’s is Rose.
Think what you like but she offsets the Doctor and that’s what he needs.
Thank you , Matt. I was starting to think I was the only one who found Rose Tyler annoying. Yes, she had her good moments, but the increasingly adolescent relationship between Rose and the Doctor was starting to get up my nose. It felt forced - no way could I believe that this was a perfect companion for the Doctor. I was so glad when she went …
Rose must have been a good companion becasue why else would the doctor love her??
I agree with you Matt. Rose is the most selfish and bothersome companion ever.
= She never defended Mickey when the Doctor insulted him on several occasions
=When Rose returned after the first trip and realized she was gone for a year Earth time, She did not seem to apologetic that Mickey was accused of her murder.
=She was visibly jealous of previous companion Sarah Jane Smith
=Rose was not so bothered to put Jackie through emotional stress by travelling with the Doctor for months at a time; but acted indignant when an ameteur investigator was involved with Jackie.
=Rose was warned about tampering with timelines and she still violated it to save her father causing bigger problems to correct.
=When the Doctor sends her back to Earth for her saftey, Rose gets all depressed despite all the efforts and love from both Jackie and Mickey. To Rose, they did not matter.
I was proud of Mickey to stay in the parallel universe to fight the cybermen. When he told Rose she always chose to stay with the Doctor at the cost of their relationship was a priceless moment. Rose and the Doctor made him feel like a used rag. Only then did the Doctor finally respect him; but Rose, was whining about her needs.
Rose has some flaws i’ll admit, but thats part of a character isn’t it! I think she is the BEST companian closely followed by Sarah Jane and Martha, this is possibly because im only 12 but i have watched the classic series and i think Rose is better!
You cant have a respected person as a compainian everytime! You lot need to put yourself in the position she was in during some of the positions she was in! What would YOU do?
I think she was a exellent compaian and those who disagree are talking utter rubbish. But everyone is entitled to thier own opinion.
Rose was extremely irritating, but I still liked her (most of the time) and I prefer her to Martha because Martha’s unrequited love thing gets on my nerves. They all seem really boring though (in the newer series’). The BBC could do anything with the companions but they just seem to be normal human girls from London. I know they do it so we can ‘relate’ but still…
CATHERINE TATE WILL BE BRILLIANT!
I like rose but i find martha a bit.. strange but i like the chemistry between rose n the doc personally i think rose is better wheres martha is more questioning and rose is more of a do it in an emergecy wheres martha wastes time!
all this wistfull thoughts of rose return is even more annoying than the character herself. it would be nice for her to come back to get de-mat from time and space and never be finally rid of her fugly whiny self-importance crap again… from time and space — she is worth using the key of rassilon…to obliterate rose tyler.
Why don’t you snuff it? Rose rules, talk about something with a POINT in it next time, eh?
Ha Ha murrungay, she does come back!
I agree too Matt, ever since fathers day i didn’t like her but i should of known earlier. The doctor says he only takes the best, he was so angry after wot Adam done in season 1 but when rose destroys most of the world in fathers day hes ok. And then even when she was in a parallel world with her family happy she was still desperate to get back at the risk of destroying the walls of the universe, she became like a dog trying to get back to her master. And mickey and Jackie, omg.
I totally agree I hate Rose she is an annoying Chav with the brains of a brainless monkey with demeantour! It’s time we had a companion from Liverpool or anywhere else the other side of birmingham and for the doctor to kill Jack and for sarah Jane to be come immortal so SJA can never end. I love donna and I really hated it when she went. Anyway even Rose is better than… Bonnie Langford the evil one may she be transported to the X factor so she can be offended by Simon Cowell and disapear. Sorry have I been ranting again!
…Well, I liked Rose. ::shrugs:: Yeah, she could be annoying (what the HELL was she thinking in Tooth and Claw with the “We are not amused” thing? PERSPECTIVE, GIRL!), but she was brave, she was encouraging, she was compassionate (mostly), and… she was human. And she was funny. “Only an idiot hangs the Union Jack upside down. Shame on you!” And that quick grin she gives before ducking out is hilarious, bwahaha!
As for the romance? I’m a sucker for romance and I didn’t feel it got in the way of the story. If anything, it helped rather to add to the sense that the Doctor is really - REALLY - alone. Although I will admit that having a companion without having a love interest in season 4 with Donna was wonderfully refreshing. I love the odd romance, but give us a breather!
