Rose Tyler :-)

[jjpor]

Oh, touché! ;D

1. I actually like "Series 1 Rose" quite a lot, and feel near equal antipathy towards "Series 2 and subsequent Rose", so...that sort of evens out in the middle, doesn't it?

2. I think the way she relates to Nine appeals to me a lot; they have a very easy, genuinely friendly relationship at times and she never seems to really be in awe of him or to take him too seriously...except when he decides to get weird and alien with her from time to time.

3. Anything where Rose, Nine and Captain Jack are all on screen together - I think they're one of the better TARDIS-crews of the new series, unfortunately a very short-lived one. I like their interactions. Asked to pick a particular "bit", probably where they first team up together in the hospital in The Doctor Dances. It's a good scene.

4. When she comes back at the end of S4, she's got really nice teeth... ;D

5. Thanks to incautious past fanfiction reading, yes. Yes, I have.

6. I don't know about falling in love, I think she grew on me throughout S1 of New Who...but then seriously outstayed her welcome come S2. I don't even think the character changed that much, but the way her relationship with the Doctor was written after he regenerated from Nine into Ten just severely got up my nose. But then, S2 is my least favourite series of NuWho by quite some way in any case.

7. I'm not a big one for Doctor-shipping (with one obvious exception, as you may have noticed), but I can get behind the idea of Nine and Rose and Captain Jack all shacked up in some sort of OT3-sort-of arrangement. Those crazy kids.

Michael Shearer's Dalek-controlled schoolmaster in "Remembrance of the Daleks".

Too obscure? I'd still like to hear it.

[jjpor]

Nice one ;D

1. Obviously, I love him - he's played by British screen legend Michael Sheard. That wins him epic bonus points, imho.

2. The way that he looks exactly like French-teacher-from-hell Mr Bronson from 80s British kids' school drama Grange Hill. It's probably his dad. ;D I also sort of like the idea that he was Ian and Barbara's boss, before the Daleks nobbled him.

3. Probably his little fight with Ace. Ace gets some good action "bits" in the story, and that's, well, not really one of them, but it's still nice.

4. One of those Dalek mind control earpieces would come in handy...provided you didn't end up getting controlled by Daleks. They know the whole internet, though - you would win every pub quiz, forever.

5. The unfortunate side effect of this meme, as I was saying elsewhere, that if you haven't already pictured the particular character naked, well, you have now.

6. I love just about everything about Remembrance of the Daleks, from when I first saw it a long time ago on BBC1, so that was when, probably.

7. Er...I'd never thought about it. He and that Dalek who orders him around seem to have a bit of a "thing" going on, but that could just be my imagination. ;D
