Re: Red bicycle...

I don't often particularly identify with Rose, for all she's a viewpoint character. Usually the differences between her and me in character, cultures, talents, style, and so on, are so great that I identify much more with Jack and the Doctor. I'm much more like Martha. I am probably even more like Donna Noble, God help me. And I would not, under most circusmtances, identify myself as a Rose fan, though I think her character development was one of the most brilliantly written themes I've seen on television. Still doesn't make me specifically a Rose fan.

But. That line about the red bicycle made me totally identify with and love Rose. When I was ten I had a bicycle, and used it all the time, and loved it - though I probably wouldn't have put it in those terms. But that bicycle gave me a freedom to get around that I'd never had before. I used it for years.

It was blue, not red.

But that line really made me relate to Rose, and enhanced Rose's reality for me. I could just see her at ten, exploring the world. And Jackie being pleased that she loved the bicycle, but worrying about her safety.
