Title: I’m So Glad I Met You: A Doctor/Rose Manifesto (2/2)
Author: Lara (

Fandom: Doctor WhoPairing: The (9th) Doctor/Rose Tyler
Spoilers: Explicit spoilers for the whole arc of the current series of
Doctor Who that just finished airing this past weekend in the U.K. with references to the classic series (First through the Seventh Doctor) and the 1996
Doctor Who TV movie “The Enemy Within” (the Eighth Doctor).
Please don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled for the current series!Author’s Notes: A lot of information in the writing of this was found on
Wikipedia and
TV.com in order to refresh my somewhat scattered memories of the show over the years and to double check some of my facts, especially in regards to the past reincarnations of the Doctor. Forty years worth of canon is a lot to remember! Also, everything in this essay is based on television canon, not books or audio due to their sometimes conflicting nature. And finally, I apologize for the length of this – it sort of evolved as it went along and it became evident just how important this relationship is to the fabric of the current series! Please don’t kill me.
