At the end of last year, I would have been really disappointed, but frankly I haven't liked Rose as much this series. I'm not sure why that is; I certainly want to like her.

Still, I have faith that RTD will come up with another worthwhile companion. There have been so many excellent almost-companions in the last two series, with Lynda being only the most notable. Who knows, maybe this could pave the way for the return of Captain Jack?
