The Doctor brought up Rose constantly throughout season three.
In comparison to how often he's mentioned other past companions, he really did. In comparison to any human who's lost a dear friend, he was a model stoic.
I'm Old Skool enough to still loathe the idea of Doctor/Companion, regardless of the companion.
My two pet hates of Dr Who fandom memes are:
(i) Madame de Pompadour would have been just an ordinary woman as a companion. How many other middle class women managed to become serious political players in 18th century Europe? She deliberately sought power and she was good at obtaining it. And the Dr Who version was really frightening in how she took s much in her stride. MdP would never be an ordinary woman.
(ii) The Doctor could accidentally father a child. The Time Lords had all that technology and yet somehow never developed decent contraception? Given their long life spans and tailored physiology, I'd be surprised if they didn't have to consciously want a kid before their repro systems swithced on...
