The payoff for that, of course - continuing the theme - was Rose's jealousy of his new friends on the Subwave chat! Not to mention the earlier conflict with Sarah Jane in School Reunion...
Why the **** are these reasons to worry?
It's a flipping TV show!

There's nothing wrong with investing yourself in a bit of fiction. Why else would you watch a TV drama or read a novel?
Loved what I've seen so far apart from ONE exception. And this is going to wind me and my poor little OCD up forever...
INTRODUCING
PEARL MACKIE ASBILL
Why is the gap between 'as' and Bill' non-existant?! Or is it just me slowly losing my mind...?
I don't want to say negative, but I would rather they chose someone else instead.
Possibly someone with some experience. Someone older.
Skin colors aside, she looks like she will be the same as her predecessor.
Would've been good to see something different.

Not really the same - from what tiny amount we've seen so far of course. Although it would have been good for something totally different such as more than one companion, or an older one such as Donna was...
I always found Clara to be too cocky / unfased / clever / superior / bossy. Hopefully Bill wont fit into any of those categories. I echo others requests that she is nobody special, not the centre of the universe or the second coming... just a normal everyday person whose horizons are broadened with travelling about in time and space!

For the same reasons that, whilst it's unfortunate that human beings and their babies are
today being machetied to death in developing countries, it's still acceptable for people in first-world countries to wrestle with the choice of wearing blue jeans with a brown leather jacket, or blue chinos and a white-and-blue stripy top when they go to the IMAX to see Star Wars.
Hope that helps. Give more money to charity if it doesn't.
