Legitimate question: are these people actually rooting for Mickey legitimately as being better for Rose as the Doctor? Not to mention, KarmaHoudini? For what? Not settling with Mickey? Calling someone out for upsetting her mum just because he was (initially) really after Rose? For making Mickey a murder suspect by making her disappear for--oh wait, that was the Doctor. Or the TARDIS. Take your pick. Mickey grew as a character, but he was wimpy and argumentative and, one could say, a bit of an idiot, when we first met him. Hell, even in series 2, he was \

Hell, even in series 2, he was \\\"the tin dog\\\". It was only during and after his departure episodes that we really saw the best of him.

Rose\\\'s characterisation, no matter how little you may like her does NOT begin and end with \\\"the Doctor\\\'s girlfriend\\\" or \\\"the Doctor\\\'s true love\\\". And, do you know what? This applies to BOTH sides of the \\\"is she a likeable character or not\\\" argument. In several episodes after the departure of Mickey, she was responsible for saving the day, and also aided Donna in getting her out of the parallel world/timeline built around her after the Trickster\\\'s Brigade tried to change history. What \\\'\\\'innocent\\\'\\\', i.e. non-Dalek, or non-demonic, lifeform has she killed or maimed to even come close to villainous or anti-heroic enough to get the Karma Houdini moniker?
