This post makes me sad, since I'm the opposite of you. Can't stand RTD's writing. I think I only enjoy Ten when it's not RTD or it's fic. :/ First three episodes of series 6 aren't my favorite, but at least watch The Doctor's Wife episode (the fourth episode, penned by Neil Gaiman).
Except they do have moments where they mention them. One is a deleted scene from series 5, set after Flesh and Stone, and the other is in Let's Kill Hitler. Rose, Martha, and Donna are all definitely shown. Hell, there's another episode later on in the series where he mentions Jack and the Brigadier.
Just don't write it off yet? ...also, Rose's story was okay, until she said that bit in Fear Me about staying with the Doctor forever. The look on the Doctor's face was just full of '...I'm not feeling this'. And I never saw River as whingeing

I guess this is just a factor where we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't feel any emotional bond towards these characters at all. Hell, I don't even know why. Eleven doesn't seem quirky and eccentric to me, he seems sociopathic. Tbh he creeps me out a little bit. The others had something off. He has something wrong. That is of course just my opinion and I know you don't feel the same way. Hell, you ship FrUk. I've come to terms with the fact very few of our opinions coincide

Just to calm you down, The Doctor's Wife has nothing to do with River. XD Absolutely nothing, but if the end of the episode doesn't make you tear up, you may have had your soul stolen. I tear up every time. >>;;
I get the first season bit with not thinking about them. He was trying to put it behind him for a bit then slowly go back. I think it was coping mechanism with everything that went wrong before.
*giggles at the word 'higglety-pigglety'* >>;; *is five* RTD did so much I can't stand. ...and actually, while I do like Ianto, I don't understand Jack/Ianto. I know I'm the weird one here, but it just doesn't make sense. Jack killed Ianto's girlfriend in a very traumatic way, even if there were extenuating circumstances. It doesn't seem something you'd really get over enough to jump in the sack with someone. @_@
EDIT: His mention of Jack was saying he could go to all of Jack's stag parties in one night. There is no way I'm not ficcing this someday. >>;; He even said he could help little Rose Tyler with her homework. *wibble*
Don't worry. It's not River that's the problem there, it's rather the phrase itself and its definition. Please don't make me hate you, Gneil. Pleeeeease! D':
Maybe that's why Eleven is so wrong to me. He's finally broken. This might sound weird, but... Well, I know he's an alien, but the Doctor's always reminded me of the Fae from the old stories. He isn't human, doesn't quite get humans but he's still fascinated by them. He's childish and fatuous, but he's still a good faerie (insomuch as fae can be good and not benevolent neutral). Eleven... Eleven feels like a bad faerie. Like he's got something very dark and very nasty going on underneath the surface. He doesn't want companions because he's curious and lonely, he wants them so he can fuck around with them. Hell, I'd actually read that fic.
It's a fun word. It should be used more often. >7I just put it down to Torchwood being so irreparably fucked up, nothing makes sense
