I'll be sorry to see Rose go, I like her. I hope the next companion is really interesting. And I'm curious to see how fans who aren't used to the turn over of companions will take her leaving the show.

If I only had a brain...
I sense a vast disturbance in the fandom, as thousands of fangirls who never watched the show before cry out in anguish and then, alas, do not go silent.
There is *so. much. fic* out there about how Sarah Jane and Reinette and all the other companions Just Don't Count compared to Rose. Those people are going to be very unhappy post-Rose.

Are the newer fans going back and watching old Dr Who episodes or are they mainly focusing on the current show. Or does it depend on what kind of fan they are?

Oh, as usual, dear.

It depends. There are many people who focus solely on the romantic relationship and who don't go back and watch the old stuff. Old School vs. New School each have their different canonical crazy. The Old School crazy says "The Doctor is asexual and you can't convince me otherwise"; the New School crazy says "Rose is the Most Important Thing Ever and theirloveissoeternal."

Every time New Who has showed the Doctor caring about somebody other than Rose, reams of fix-it fic pour out in which he reassures her that the other person wasn't really all that important.

So, what do we think the craxy will start sending the Beeb in order to get Rosie back (a lal blue gloves and apples)? And is this something they've had to deal with before?

Well, most of them should have gotten the hint from Eccleston dying. But nooooooo.

Well, roses seem like a possibility.
I'll miss Rose, but yeah. The show's survived losing the lead 9 times now. The companions can certainly be expected to come and go.
