Don't even talk to me about Elizabeth. I watch her (like in the Return I where she locks herself in her apartment and seems to do nothing but cry and eat ice cream for a month) and I think, 'this is the woman who negotiated peace treaties in Africa and commands Marines? You must be joking.' This is why I am grateful every day for fanfic, the beautiful thing that makes everything better.

I love the fact that Rose doesn't do that. But there's a whole complicated thing off of that that I don't want to get into while I am as sleep deprived as I am.

As far as the parallel universe flouncing thing, it occurs to me that Nine probably would have been all over exploring, so it wouldn't have seemed like Rose was being weird. It's a difference in Doctor thing again. I always take comfort in the fact that he will never be as crazy as Tom Baker. Fourth Doctor is his own benchmark.
