rose with a z

I understand everyone's frustration and that we all have different favorite eras and Doctor/Companion duos. what I don't get is the hate Catherine and David get for simply being in the show. it was one thing if they were terrible actors, but they're not, and it's not their fault that they were casted in the first place or was asked to come back. they're actors. yes, sometimes their influence can dissuade or inspire the writers, but at the end of the day, the person that stirs the direction where the show is going is the show runner. saying that they're the reason why the show was cancelled or that they "ruined" it is totally uncalled for.

one of the things I like about the Big Finish audios is how it blatantly disregards the "no nonsense" thing. like, what do you mean River immediately clocked that Ten missed Donna and her being gone is what made him so reckless? no man good enough for my Donna? the only happy ending for Donna is if it's with the Doctor? Ten/Donna fake marriage? the unnecessary smooches? Donna calling him the love of her life then realizing in real time that he actually is?

Wilf saying in canon that Donna was just "making do" by marrying Shaun is...something.

genuine question, how did Catherine and David end up hosting radio shows together? 😭
