Silver Surfer #8 - "Tall Tales"

[laughing_tree]

'I was sitting with David Tennant and Billy Piper when I gave her a trade, and David Tennant (who'd already read it) said, "Oh, you'll love this! There's a lot of Rose in this character, Dawn." (And yes, in that moment I did everything in my power to NOT go "squee!")' -- Dan Slott

I knew there was an extra reason I found Dawn annoying.

[seisachtheia]

hah! That actually made me laugh, especially as the first comment.

[bizarrohulk]

Could've been worse. She could have been based on Clara Oswald.

[captainbellman]

Enh...not a huge improvement, but her setup with 12 (enabler/adrenalin junkie) was at least a refreshingly different concept.

[bruinsfan]

Exactly. That quote was a big "A-HA!" moment that made the reason for my visceral dislike of Dawn click into place.

I like Rose… /runs

On scans_daily, you're never the only one.

I have no particular dislike of her. The romance idea was a bit too much at times, but...
Certainly far more likable than certain other modern companions who could be named.
Who are ginger. And come from Scotland.

I like Rose and Clara both and I'm not sorry.

[mesmiranda]

Hear, hear!

[lordultimus]

Well, at least Slott is honest about his rip-off - er, inspirations.

[captainbellman]

Unlike some.
