Balancing the srs bsnss Rose of season 4 with the happy-go-lucky Rose of seasons 1 and 2 is somethign I worry about sometimes, so it's good to kno you like the balance I've tried to find. Pretty much what I've been running with is the idea that while they might not be quite the ear-to-ear smiling couple they were in most of season 2, once they've settled into Pete's World, they'll be pretty close.

Um, I have to admit I love having Donna as an excuse to pull off things like quasi-intentional marriage proposals suggestions and Halloween costumes. Thanks, Donna! Plus I mean, the woman brings a hatbox, you know she'd totally be all over Halloween.

I don't think you're the only one, no. I had a review elsewhere telling me they were traumatized by the mental image, lollll. It would definitely be hilarious, though, so I tried to balance Rose between the appropriate levels of horror and endless amusement.

The James Bond/Doctor analogy is weirdly appropriate and certainly more appropriate than he evidently cares to admit, haha. Like I said to tsukihysteria, I've used it when explaining Doctor Who before. ("Oh, they just change actors and sidekicks. It's like James Bond and the Bond girls.")
