I think I'm one of the people this is aimed at, and I did not intend to dismiss your life.

I think I'm, as ever, annoyed less by Rose herself, as by this portrayal of someone who's been promoted not so much by the show itself as by certain fans and the creators in extra-canonical stuff as the Best Ever, who is raised above all others by her explicitly romantic love for the Doctor. And the overtones of selfish romantic love as supplanting all forms of feelings for others or responsibility to the world in general, which has just been disturbing me more and more in fannish responses to assorted canons since Whedon's work.
