I love Christmas, and Journey's End ruined Rose's story arc. Compatible sentiments. So there."I wasn't trying to be that mischievous and I agree that Rose's arc has had a rather surprising 'conclusion' (though given Billie Piper's remarks in Doctor Who Confidential we still might not have seen the last of her).

Typical sentiment from someone called Marie:
