Wow, I'm actually CRYING I'm so touched!
I found out before even starting S2 that Rose would be replaced by S3, which I was super bummed about because I really love Rose and the Rose/Doctor dynamic. However, for the whole of S2 I could not see how it was going to happen. There was that one episode with Sarah Jane where Rose is forced to reflect about how many companions the Doctor's had, and how she's just one of many, and the Doctor even tells her, "You can spend the rest of your life with me, but I can't spend the rest of my life with you." But it's not like they were trying to build something up where Rose makes the decision to leave the Doctor -- quite the opposite, in fact -- so I just had no idea how it was going to happen. I was super skeptical of if they would even make me care that she was leaving. I figured she was going to do/say something about how she had to live her life or something predictable like that.
I mean, 10 minutes before the final 15-20 minutes of "Doomsday" I was emailing Jade about how crazily campy this show could be (Daleks: "Exterminate!" Cybermen: "Delete delete delete!" LOL), and then by the end I was SOBBING! WTF. I really have to give them props for taking no time at all into turning me into a blubbering mess.
Rose didn't want to go! Rose wanted to stay with the Doctor forever! Rose would have died if her parallel universe dad hadn't come back to zap her out! Rose meets the Doctor's hologram on a beach! Rose tells the Doctor she loves him! The Doctor is about to tell Rose that he loves her, too, but is cut off! The Doctor has TEAR TRACKS ON HIS FACE. OMG so freaking sad.
I have to give it to Billie Piper, she really played the devastation of being separated from the Doctor forever (I know she returns in the future for a few eps, but Rose thinks it's forever) well. She made ME feel devastated, and *I'm* not separated from the Doctor forever. :)) I guess it was just how much she had wanted to stay with him, had gone to all the extreme lengths possible to stay with him, and ultimately she couldn't. So heart breaking.
I'm sure it's inevitable that the Doctor will have UST with his future companion(s), and I'm not quite as adamant about the Doctor/Rose ship as I have been about other ships in the past, but I still hope they preserve the sanctity of Doctor/Rose, for at least a little while. If nothing else they had been great friends and had cared about one another deeply... if he just went along like that touching goodbye never happened it would be kind of a let down.
I'm sad Billie Piper made the decision to leave, but I guess it had to happen sometime. :(
