I wonder, just how much of the crazy in the Doctor Who fandom would be avoided if people would actually come to terms with the fact that Rose isn't the exception, she's just the first example of the new rule?

I'm a few years too old for Billie's moment, but the thing is she wasn't a pop star, she was a washed-up pop star. And for The Kids that was... jeez, half The Kids weren't even born when she was famous for that. It's not like we were running about going "Ooh, Billie Piper, she's so famous and cool! This guarantees Teh Awesomeness!"

Yeah, she had never been known for, you know, good music, just your average pop trash, and her moment had long passed. I can almost see why some of the OG peoples were so outraged by her casting.
