God, I know. It's really depressing watching the ways fandom tears Rose down. I don't mind if you dislike a character, but making up reasons to hate her based on things she didn't actually do is just plain annoying. (There's a lot of really unquestioned Classism in it a lot of times, too, which drives me insane, because it comes from the same people wanking about how racist it was for the Doctor not to fall in love with Martha.)

But the reaction in some quarters to season three has really staggered me with the near-reversal of their Ten-adoration.

Oh, totally. As much as I enjoyed season two, it was season three that really grabbed me, because they took the Doctor to darker and more complex places. Perfect characters are boring; give me ambiguity and flaws, please!
