RTD is being very coy about whether she might be killed off, which figures.

Rats. This has been rumoured for a long time now, but I'm sorry to see it confirmed.

Hmmmm.

I think it was pretty much going that way anyhow, so I'm not terribly surprised. And oddly I'm not really bothered by it either, not like when CE left - I suppose companions come and go much more readily, so it's not so much a big deal.

To be honest, I was kinda happy when CE left. I don't know what it was...I just couldn't like him. Maybe it was because I'd seen him in other things? To me Tennant (while a little young) Feels more like the Doctor.
And with Piper leaving...? I'm a little more sad than I thought I would be. At the start she was kinda annoying, but I've really grown to her. I love People in TV shows who are thrown into 'new' situations and slow adapt - I.e Fry in Futurama, the group in Lost, Hoshi, etc. Rose has really changed since 'The end of the world'. Back then she almost had a panic attack, yet by 'The Satan Pit', she's taking charge, coming up with ideas, even beating the bad guy! Guess it has to move on, though. Wonder who will be next? Guy/Girl? Human/Alien?

I think it's very sad that this is happening, and a lot of people on Outpost Gallifrey are being very unfair about it all Because Eccleston was my introduction to Who, I was gutted when he left...and now Billie's going too! Still, they're looking for a replacement and companions have to change or they get boring I just pray the new one isn't called "Adric II" ... o_o;;

Tonight's episode is also cause for concern....apparently it features 10 minutes of the Doctor and Rose. In a 45 minute episode. "Oh my giddy aunt! Oh crumbs." as my favourite Doctor says

At least it'll kill off this ridiculous pseudo-relationship.

I did think it was a pity, until I saw tonight's ep., when she reverted to Dumb Chavette Mode.
