'''Hudson County''' is a located in the [[U.S. state]] of [[New Jersey]], with its [[county seat]] in [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]][[Geographic references|<sup>6</sup>]]. As of the [[United States 2000 Census]], the population was 608,975. It is part of the [[New York Metropolitan Area]]. The county's current borders were established in 1840.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of 162 [[km²]] (62 [[square mile|mi²]]). 121 km² (47 mi²) of it is land and 41 km² (16 mi²) of it (25.21%) is water. It is the smallest of New Jersey's 21 counties.

Hudson is bordered by the [[Hudson River]] and [[Upper New York Bay]] to the east; [[Kill van Kull]] to the south; [[Newark Bay]], and either the [[Hackensack River]] or [[Passaic River]] to the west.

The topography is marked by [[New Jersey Palisades]] in the north with cliffs overlooking the Hudson to the east and [[cuesta]] to the west. They gradually level off to the southern peninsula, which is coastal and flat; the western region, around the [[Hackensack River|Hackensack]] and [[Passaic River|Passaic]] is part of the [[New Jersey Meadowlands]].

There are two equally high points, 260 feet (79 m) above sea, in Guttenberg and West New York; the lowest point is sea level itself along the rivers.

[[Ellis Island]] and [[Liberty Island]], opposite [[Liberty State Park]], lie entirely within Hudson County's waters, which extend to the [[New York]] state line. Liberty Island is wholly part of New York. Ellis Island is jointly administered by the states of New Jersey and New York. Nine-tenths of its land is technically part of Hudson County, with the remainder being part of New York<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/US/9805/26/scotus.ellis.island/ New Jersey wins claim to Ellis Island], [[CNN.com]], [[May 26]], [[1998]]</ref>. [[Shooters Island]], in the [[Kill van Kull]], is also shared with New York. [[Robbins Reef Light]] sits atop a the reef which runs parellel the Bayonne and Jersey City waterfront.

Given its proximity to Manhattan, is sometimes referred to as [[New York City]]'s sixth [[borough (New York City)|borough]].<ref>Holusha, John. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D07EFDB123BF932A25753C1A96E958260 " Commercial Property / The Jersey Riverfront; On the Hudson's West Bank, Optimistic Developers"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[October 11]], [[1998]]. Accessed [[May 25]], [[2007]]. "''That simply is out of the question in midtown,'' he said, adding that some formerly fringe areas in Midtown South that had previously been available were filled up as well. Given that the buildings on the New Jersey waterfront are new and equipped with the latest technology and just a few stops on the PATH trains from Manhattan, they become an attractive alternative. ''It's the sixth borough,'' he said."</ref>

Counties adjacent to Hudson are [[New York County, New York]] to the east; [[Essex County, New Jersey]] and [[Union County, New Jersey]] to west; [[Richmond County, New York]] to the south; and [[Bergen County, New Jersey]], the only with which it shares a land border, to the north and west.

==Character history==
== Transportation ==
===Televised history===
The confluence of roads and railways of the [[BosWash]] megalopolis and [[Northeast Corridor]] passing through Hudson County make it one of the [[Northeast]]'s major transportation crossroads and provide access to an extensive network of national highways, state freeways and toll roads, and water crossings. Many long distance trains and buses pass through the county, [[Amtrak]] and major national bus network companies of Greyhound and Trailways do not provide service. There many local and intra-state bus routes, an expanding light rail system, boats traversing the Hudson, and commuter trains to northern New Jersey. Much of the rail, surface transit, and ferry system is oriented to commuters travelling to [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], lower and midtown [[Manhattan]], and increasingly, downtown Jersey City.{{Fact|date=July 2007}} Public transportation is operated by a variety of public and private corporations, notably [[New Jersey Transit]], [[The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]], and [[NY Waterway]], each of which charge customers separately for their service.
When first seen by the audience, Rose is working as a shop assistant at Henrik's [[department store]] in [[Regent Street]], London. She has a boyfriend named [[Mickey Smith]], and lives in a [[council house|council flat]] with her mother [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]] in the fictitious Powell Estate. Rose left school without taking her [[Advanced Level (UK)|A-levels]] but won the [[bronze medal]] in an under-sevens [[gymnastics]] competition at her [[elementary school|junior school]].<ref name="roseep">{{cite episode | title = Rose | episodelink = Rose (Doctor Who) | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Russell T.

One night, after the shops close, she encounters mannequins coming to life in the basement of Henrik's. The [[Auton]]s are about to dispose of her when the [[Ninth Doctor]] saves her life, although he proceeds to destroy the building, thus costing Rose her job. She aids the Doctor in tracking down the hiding place of the [[Auton|Nestene Consciousness]] that is animating the Autons and subsequently helps defeat its plans of world conquest. She is initially reluctant to join the Doctor on his travels in the [[TARDIS]], feeling that someone must stay to look after Mickey, but changes her mind when the Doctor returns to tell her they could travel in time.<ref name="roseep"/>
===Hubs===
[[Hoboken Terminal]], [[Bergenline Avenue]] at 32nd, 48th, and 91st Streets in [[North Hudson]], [[Journal Square]] and [[Exchange Place]] in Jersey City are major public transportation hubs. The [[Port Authority Bus Terminal]] and [[Penn Station]] in midtown Manhattan, the [[World Trade Center]] in lower Manhattan, and [[Newark Penn Station]] also play important roles within the county's transportation network. [[Secaucus Junction]], which provides access to eight commuter rail lines and essentially serves travellers bound for [[Manhattan]], [[North Jersey]], and [[Rockland County]] and [[Orange County]] in New York State, has little significance for tranportation within the county.{{Fact|date=July 2007}}

===Air===
[[Newark Liberty International Airport]]is the closest of the New York metropolitan area's three major airports. [[John F.

Rose and the Doctor return to their own universe, but later find that both the alternate Cybermen and the [[Daleks]] are invading their Earth.<ref name="armyofghosts">{{cite episode | title = Army of Ghosts | episodelink = Army of Ghosts | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Russell T.

There, she finds herself trapped on the parallel Earth albeit reunited with Jackie, Mickey and the alternate Pete Tyler. Later, the Doctor manages to project his image through the last crack between the universes, sharing a tearful farewell with her. He informs Rose that she is presumed dead in the aftermath of the invasion, thus verifying Rose's soliloquy at the start of the episode "This is the story of how I died". Rose in turn mentions working with that parallel Earth's (non secret) version of the [[Torchwood Institute]] due to her experience with aliens. Finally, Rose tells him she loves him, even though they denied it many times during the course of their time together. The Doctor begins to reply, getting as far as "If it's my last chance to say it...Rose Tyler, I--" before the connection fails.

*[[New Jersey City University]] (Jersey City)
*[[Saint Peter's College, New Jersey|Saint Peter's College]] (Jersey City)
*[[Stevens Institute of Technology]] (Hoboken)


After last seeing Rose, the Doctor would often become depressed at the mere mention of Rose, or whenever he is reminded of her. In "[[The Runaway Bride (Doctor Who)|The Runaway Bride]]", he is reminded of Rose while attending a party, and a very brief clip of Rose from "[[New Earth]]" is used to illustrate this. [[Donna Noble]], in "The Runaway Bride", discusses Rose with the Doctor, as does [[Martha Jones]] in the 2007 series.
===Secondary schools===


In the series 3 episode, "[[Utopia (Doctor Who)|Utopia]]", Jack Harkness mentions that while he was waiting for the Doctor to appear during the 20th century, he went to see Rose a few times while she was growing up. He says that in order to preserve established events, he never spoke to her in that time.
Each Hudson County municipality has a public [[school district]]. All but two, East Newark and Guttenberg, have their own [[public high school]]s. East Newark students attend [[Harrison High School (New Jersey)|Harrison High School]] in Harrison. Guttenberg students attend [[North Bergen High School]] in North Bergen.


=== Doctor Who annual ===
[[Hudson County Schools of Technology]] is a public secondary and adult vocational-technical school with locations in North Bergen, Jersey City, Union City and Harrison.
The ''Doctor Who Annual 2006'', published by [[Panini Comics]] in August 2005, gives further biographical information on Rose in an article written by the programme's chief writer and executive producer [[Russell T. Davies]].<ref>Davies, Russell T: ''Doctor Who Annual 2006'', page 38, "Meet Rose". Panini Books, 2005; ISBN 1-904419-73-9</ref> The piece includes the address of the flat she and Jackie live in (Flat 48, Bucknall House, Powell Estate, [[London SE15|SE15]] 7GO), the fact that Jackie supports them by working from home as a [[hairdresser]]. It also mentions prior that to Rose meeting the Doctor, her only travelling experience was a school trip to [[France]] and an annual week's holiday to [[South Wales]] with her mother.


Rose (whose middle name is given as Marion) began seeing Mickey at the age of 14, and at 15 she was suspended from her school, Jericho Street Comprehensive, for persuading the choir to go on strike. After doing well in her [[GCSE]] exams, she left school to live with a 20 year-old musician, Jimmy Stone, but the affair ended in tears and with Rose £800 in debt. She subsequently returned to Jackie and Mickey, and her mother called in a favour from an ex-boyfriend to get her the job at Henrik's Department Store.

== History ==
===Other appearances===
Rose is featured in the first twelve [[New Series Adventures (Doctor Who)|New Series Adventures]] novels and also appears in the Quick Reads Initiative release, ''[[I am a Dalek]]''. Like most spin-off ''Doctor Who'' fiction, the [[canon (fiction)|canonicity]] of the novels remains unclear given the BBC has never made a pronouncement of what is considered official canon. However, the events of the novel ''[[The Monsters Inside]]'' are referenced in the episode "[[Boom Town (Doctor Who)|Boom Town]]". In the novels, some elements of Rose's backstory are fleshed out. ''[[Only Human]]'' reveals she was once engaged to be married; this does not appear to be a reference to Mickey, given Rose's unfriendly reference to the former fiancée, but it could be a reference to Jimmy Stone, mentioned in the Annual ; and in the same novel, Rose briefly marries Tillun, a member of a prehistoric tribe of cave men, as part of a ruse to protect his tribe.
===Lenape===
Hudson County was originally inhabited the [[Lenape]] or [[Lenni-Lenape]] (later named [[Delaware Indian]]), who practiced small-scale [[agriculture]] to augment a largely mobile [[hunter-gatherer]] society, and likely, given the topography of the area, included much fishing and trapping. They were displaced to the west by European settlers, whose purchase of their lands was misconstrued by both parties. Their [[Algonquian languages|Algonquian language]] can still be inferred in some local place names (Hoboken, Weehawken, Secaucus, among them).


Following Rose's departure from ''Doctor Who'', a spin-off production titled ''[[List of unmade Doctor Who serials#Rose Tyler: Earth Defence|Rose Tyler: Earth Defence]]'' was commissioned but ultimately withdrawn by Davies.
===New Netherland===
[[Henry Hudson]], for whom the county and river on which it sits is named, established a claim for the area in 1609 when anchoring his ship the [[Half Moon]] at Harsimus and Weehawken Coves.
The west bank of the Lower Hudson and the the cliffs, hills, and marshlands abutting and beyond it, were settled by Europeans (Dutch, Flemish, Walloon, Huguenot) from the [[Lowlands]] around the same time as [[New Amsterdam]], in the mid 1600s. After the failure of Micheal Pauw (whose Latin-ized name [[Pavonia]] gave the setlement its name), to populate his [[patroonship]], or land-grant, houses were built and farms established at Communipaw (1633), Harisumus (1634), Hoebuck (1643), Awiehaken (1647), and other 'lands behind Kill van Kull' (1647). Relations were tenuous with the Lenape, with whom they engaged in a series of raids and reprisals, notably [[Kieft's War]] and the [[Peach Tree War]]. In 1658, Governor [[Peter Stuyvesant]] of [[New Netherland]] negotiated a deal with them to re-purchase the area named Bergen, "by the great rock above Wiehacken," then taking in the sweep of land on the peninsula west of the Hudson and east of the [[Hackensack River]] extending down to the [[Kill Van Kull]] in [[Bayonne, New Jersey|Bayonne]].<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=owpYaTSYmDMC&pg=PA62&lpg=PA62&dq=%22by+the+great+rock+above+wiehacken%22&source=web&ots=N3sWTbWs6r&sig=OWea40y4zZcNeK6XlvGItRN7nlY#PPA62,M1 History of the County of Hudson, New Jersey, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time], p. 62, accessed [[March 29]], [[2007]].</ref>, and in 1660 a village/garrison was built at the site of present-day [[Bergen Square]], establishing what is considered to be the longest continuously inhabited site in New Jersey. The Dutch ceded control of province to the English in 1664.


==A Potential Return?==
===The British and Early America===
Since Rose was trapped in parallel earth at the end of 'Doomsday' seemingly forever people have speculated whether she would return one day. The actress has not said it is the end for Rose Tyler. On the Jonathan Ross chat show she replies that in science fiction anything can happen. More recently her former co-star Noel Clarke, whose character is trapped with Rose, hinted he could return to the show reigniting suspicion that Rose will also return.
By 1675, the transfer was finalized and the area became part of the British colony of [[East Jersey]], in the adminstrative district of [[Bergen County]]. The county's seat was transferred to [[Hackensack]] in 1709. The small villages and farms supplied the burgeonng city across the river, notably with oysters from the vast beds in the Upper New York, and fresh produce, sold at [[Weehawken Street]], in Manhattan. During the American Revolutionary War, the area was under British control though colonialist troops used the heights to observe enemy movements. The [[Battle of Paulus Hook]] in 1779, a surprise raid on a British fortification, was seen as an a victory and morale booster for revolutionary forces. [[Washington]], [[Lafayette]], and other early American military and politicians met in area. Weehawken became a notorious for duels, including the nation's most famous between [[Alexander Hamilton]] and [[Aaron Burr]] in 1804. Border conflicts for control of the waterfront with New York (who claimed jurisdiction to the high water line and the granting of ferry concessions) restricted development though some urbanization took place in downtown Jersey City and Hoboken, which became a vacation spot for well-off New Yorkers. The [[Morris Canal]] and early steam railroads stimulated further growth.

In September 1840, Hudson was created by separation from Bergen and annexation of some Essex County lands, and the county seat returned to Jersey City. During the 19th century, Hudson played an integral role in the [[Underground Railroad]], with four routes through converging in Jersey City.<ref>[http://www.hudsonreporter.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=14587630&BRD=1291&PAG=461&dept_id=523584&rfi=8 "Jersey City's Underground Railroad history,"] ''[[Jersey City Magazine]]'', Spring & Summer [[2005]].</ref>

==Personality==
===Incorporations, Mergers, Boundries===
Rose was the first television companion of the Doctor with a fully fleshed-out personal life and background that the audience actually saw on screen in her debut story, as opposed to something developed over time. For the first time since the first ''Doctor Who'' episode, "[[An Unearthly Child]]", "Rose" was told largely from the companion's point of view. It was also the first time the television series has examined the consequences of a companion leaving with the Doctor; for the year she was away, she was considered a missing person and Mickey was briefly suspected of her murder.<ref name="aliensoflondon">{{cite episode | title = Aliens of London | episodelink = Aliens of London | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Russell T. Davies]], Director [[Keith Boak]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] | network = [[BBC]] | city = Cardiff | airdate = [[16 April]] [[2005]]}}</ref>
The current boundries of the county and municpalities within it evolved during the period of it's original settlement, and were more less finalized in 1925. Originally part of the province of [[New Netherland]], it became part of [[Bergen County]] in 1675, which it remained until Hudson was established in 1840. The settlements, towns, and villages originally scattered over the area chose to merge or separate for various reasons related to land ownership, geography, civic/politic interests, and urbanization.


She is also one of the few on-screen companions who were not cut off from their family and friends and the world they once knew. [[Ben Jackson (Doctor Who)|Ben]] and [[Polly (Doctor Who)|Polly]] elected to leave when the TARDIS materialised on the same calendar day they joined the Doctor. Both [[Jo Grant]]'s and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s travels with the Doctor were common knowledge by members of [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]], for which Jo worked and with which Sarah Jane had a relationship via her job as a journalist. In addition, both Jo (who travelled with the [[Third Doctor]]) and Sarah Jane (who travelled with both the Third and [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth]] Doctors) parted company with the Doctor on present day Earth and continued their normal lives. Along similar lines, [[Vislor Turlough]], companion to the [[Fifth Doctor]], was actually reunited with his younger brother because of his travels with the Doctor.
North Bergen was incorporated as a township on [[April 10]], [[1843]], by an Act of the [[New Jersey Legislature]], from [[Bergen Township, Bergen County, New Jersey (Historical 1693)|Bergen Township]]. Portions of the township have been taken to form Hoboken Township ([[April 9]], [[1849]], now the City of [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]]), Hudson Town ([[April 12]], [[1852]], later part of Hudson City), [[Hudson City, New Jersey|Hudson City]] ([[April 11]], [[1855]], later annexed by [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]]), [[Guttenberg, New Jersey|Guttenberg]] (formed within the township on [[March 9]], [[1859]], and set off as an independent municipality on [[April 1]], [[1878]]), [[Weehawken, New Jersey|Weehawken]] ([[March 15]], [[1859]]), [[Union Township, Hudson County, New Jersey (Historical)|Union Township]] and [[West Hoboken, New Jersey|West Hoboken Township]] (both created on [[February 28]], [[1861]]), [[Union Hill, Hudson County, New Jersey|Union Hill town]] ([[March 29]], [[1864]]) and [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]] ([[March 12]], [[1900]]).<ref name=Story>"The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P.

Rose is unique in that she is the first companion whose immediate family and/or a close friend knew of her travels with the Doctor while they occurred. Mickey was aware of her new occupation and tracked her movements through his [[Doctor Who tie-in websites|website]]. Jackie found out about the life her daughter was leading<ref name="aliensoflondon"/> and, despite pleading for her to stay, Rose continued to travel with the Doctor.<ref name="worldwarthree">{{cite episode | title = World War Three | episodelink = World War Three (Doctor Who) | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Russell T.

The City of Jersey was incorporated by an Act of the [[New Jersey Legislature]] on [[January 28]], [[1820]], from portions of [[North Bergen, New Jersey|North Bergen Township]], while the area was still a part of [[Bergen County, New Jersey|Bergen County]]. The city was reincorporated on [[January 23]], [[1829]], and again on [[February 22]], [[1838]], at which time it became completely independent of North Bergen and was given its present name. On [[February 22]], [[1840]], it became part of the newly-created Hudson County.<ref name=Story>"The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 146-147.</ref> As Jersey City grew, several neighboring communities were annexed: [[Van Vorst, New Jersey|Van Vorst Township]] ([[March 18]], [[1851]]), [[Bergen City, New Jersey|Bergen City]] and [[Hudson City, New Jersey|Hudson City]] (both on [[May 2]], [[1870]]), and [[Greenville, Jersey City|Greenville Township]] ([[February 4]], [[1873]]).<ref name=Story/>


Rose is a quick-witted, inquisitive and compassionate young woman, who despite the strange events she is thrown into is quick to adapt to them. She falls easily into the role of the Doctor's latest companion and shows both determination and courage while facing various [[extraterrestrial life|alien]] threats. She cares deeply about the Doctor, although whether or not her feelings are purely platonic or have at some sexual component to them is left open to viewers' interpretation. She states on several occasions her desire to stay with the Doctor for the rest of her life,<ref name="impossibleplanet">{{cite episode | title = The Impossible Planet | episodelink = The Impossible Planet | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Matt Jones (writer)|Matt Jones]], Director [[James Strong (director)|James Strong]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] | network = [[BBC]] | city = Cardiff | airdate = [[3 June]] [[2006]] }}</ref><ref name="armyofghosts"/> and chooses to stay with the Doctor, even though it means forever leaving her mother and Mickey on the parallel earth.<ref name="doomsday"/> In their final moments together, Rose tells the Doctor that she loves him; he begins to reply but only manages to say her name before his transmission is cut off and the two are parted indefinitely.<ref name="doomsday"/> It is strongly hinted, however, that he would have replied "I love you"; he had already once started to leave her such a message, believing that he would soon die, but ultimately changed his mind because "she already knows".<ref name="satanpit">{{cite episode | title = The Satan Pit | episodelink = The Satan Pit | series = Doctor Who | serieslink = Doctor Who | credits = Writer [[Matt Jones (writer)|Matt Jones]], Director [[James Strong (director)|James Strong]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] | network = [[BBC]] | city = Cardiff | airdate = [[10 June]] [[2006]]}}</ref>
Hoboken was established in 1804, and formed as a [[township (New Jersey)|township]] on [[April 9]], [[1849]], from portions of [[North Bergen, New Jersey|North Bergen Township]] and incorporated as a full-fledged city, and in a referendum held on [[March 29]], [[1855]], ratified an Act of the [[New Jersey Legislature]] signed the previous day, and the City of Hoboken was born.<ref name=Story/><ref>"How Hoboken became a city," [http://www.hudsonreporter.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=15203872&BRD=1291&PAG=461&dept_id=523584&rfi=8 Part I], [http://www.hudsonreporter.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=15203874&BRD=1291&PAG=461&dept_id=523584&rfi=8 Part II], [http://www.hudsonreporter.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=15203878&BRD=1291&PAG=461&dept_id=523584&rfi=8 Part III], ''[[Hoboken Reporter]]'', [[March 27]], [[April 3]], and [[April 10]], [[2005]].</ref>


Rose is not the first companion whose deep platonic love for the Doctor doesn't at least suggest romantic interest as well. [[Sarah Jane Smith]] hints at complicated feelings for the Doctor in "[[School Reunion (Doctor Who)|School Reunion]]" when he asks her if she had ever married and she tells him she hasn't ("You're a tough act to follow," she adds). [[Grace Holloway]] makes a joking reference to having fallen for the [[Eighth Doctor]] in the [[Doctor Who (1996 film)|1996 TV movie]]. In "[[Army of Ghosts]]", Rose also indicates her intention to stay with the Doctor "forever", a sentiment never before expressed by previous companions, many of whom were reluctant travellers. According to the BBC website, Rose's favourite film is ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'', though the canonicity of this is unclear.<ref name="bigbrother">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/index12.shtml |title=BBC Doctor Who website |accessdate=2007-01-13 |work=[[bbc.co.uk]] }}</ref>

Writing in the ''[[Times Literary Supplement]]'', [[Roz Kaveney]] described Rose as a "'[[Mary Sue]]" — an unironic reflection of the writers' and fans' desire to get in there and help the Doctor out (while managing to stay pretty)."<ref>{{cite news |first=Roz |last=Kaveney |authorlink=Roz Kaveney |title=Rovers' returns |url=http://tls.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,25357-188175,00.html |format=fee required |work=[[Times Literary Supplement]] |publisher=[[News Corporation]] |date=[[2005-04-29]] |accessdate=2007-02-05 }}</ref>

===Industry and Immigration===
===Short stories===
;''Doctor Who Annual 2006''
During the latter half of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries, Hudson experienced intense industrial and residential growth, due largely to construction of railroad terminals and ports in [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]], [[Bayonne, New Jersey|Bayonne]], [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]], and [[Weehawken, New Jersey|Weehawken]], which significantly altered the shoreline with [[landfill]]. Before the opening, in 1910, of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]'s [[North River Tunnels]]under the Hudson, trains terminated on the west bank of the river, requiring passengers and cargo to travel by ferry or barge to New York, or to transfer to the [[Hudson and Manhattan Railroad]] tubes, opened in 1908. [[Hoboken Terminal]], a national historic landmark originally built in 1907 by the [[Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad]] to replace the previous one, is the only one of five major rail/ferry terminals that once dotted the waterfront still in operation. [[West Shore Railroad]] Terminal in Weehawken, Erie Railroad's [[Pavonia Terminal]] and [[Pennsylvania Railroad]]'s Exchange Place in Jersey City were all razed.

[[Central Railroad of New Jersey]]'s Communipaw Terminal, in what is now [[Liberty State Park]], has been restored, though is no longer used by trains. Across a small strait from [[Ellis Island]] and [[The Statue of Liberty]], it played crucial role in the massive immigration of the period, with many newly-arrived departing the station to embark on their lives in America. Many, though, decided to stay and the population boomed, people taking jobs on the docks, the railroads, the factories, the refineries, and in the [[sweatshops]] and [[skyscrapers]] of Manhattan. Many manufacturers, whose names read as a "who's who" in American industry established a presence, including [[Colgate]], [[Dixon Ticonderoga]], [[Maxwell House]], [[Standard Oil]], and [[Bethlehem Steel]]. [[North Hudson]], particularly Union City became the "embroidery capital of America". Secaucus boasted numerous pig farms and rendering plants.

===World Wars and New Deals===
*"The Love Invasion" by Gareth Roberts & [[Clayton Hickman]], [[Mike Collins]] and [[David A. Roach]] (issues 355–357)
Upon entry to World War I the US government took the [[Hamburg-American Line]] piers in Hoboken under [[eminent domain]], and Hudson became the major point of embarkation for more than three million soldiers, known as "[[doughboys]]". Anti-German sentiment led to many German speakers being interned at Ellis Island or to leave the area altogether. In 1916, an act of sabotage literally and figuratively shook the region when [[Germany|German]] agents set off bombs at the munitions depot in New York Bay at [[Black Tom]]. The fore-runner of [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]] was established on [[April 30]], [[1921]]. Three huge transportation projects opened between the wars: The [[Holland Tunnel]] in 1927, The [[Bayonne Bridge]] in 1931, and The [[Lincoln Tunnel]] in 1937, allowing vehicular travel between New Jersey and New York City to bypass the waterfront. Major [[WPA]] projects included construction of two stadiums in Jersey City and Union City. Both were named for [[FDR]], who attended the opening of the largest project of them all, The [[Jersey City Medical Center]], a massive complex built in the [[Art Deco]] Style. During this era the "Hudson County Democratic Machine", known for its cronyism and corruption, with Jersey City mayor [[Frank Hague]] at its head was at its most powerful. Industries in Hudson were crucial to the war effort during WWII, and many residents of the county enlisted.

Revision as of 19:11, 6 August 2007

Template:Doctorwhocharacter Rose Tyler was a fictional character played by Billie Piper in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. A shop assistant from London, she became a companion of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors.

Conception

After the announcement that the show would be returning, the BBC revealed the name of the new companion, Rose Tyler, on March 28, 2004.[1] It was announced at the same time that former pop star Billie Piper was in the running for the position. Writer/producer Russell T. Davies frequently uses the surname "Tyler" in his work. A family named Tyler is featured heavily in his Virgin New Adventures Doctor Who novel Damaged Goods, and Davies has created characters named Tyler in other series he has written, including Ruth Tyler in Revelations (1994), Vince Tyler in Queer as Folk (1999), and Johnny Tyler in The Second Coming (2003).

The casting of Piper as Rose was announced on May 24, 2004,[2] and was welcomed by fans of the show.[3] Actress Georgia Moffett, daughter of Fifth Doctor actor Peter Davison, also auditioned for the role.

Rose appeared in every episode of the first two series of the revived Doctor Who, starting in 2005 with the episode "Rose" and ending with "Doomsday" (though the character made very brief flashback stock footage appearances in the later "The Runaway Bride" and "Utopia").

Character history

Televised history

When first seen by the audience, Rose is working as a shop assistant at Henrik's department store in Regent Street, London. She has a boyfriend named Mickey Smith, and lives in a council flat with her mother Jackie in the fictitious Powell Estate. Rose left school without taking her A-levels but won the bronze medal in an under-sevens gymnastics competition at her junior school.[4] Her father, Pete Tyler died in 1987 in a car accident, the year after Rose was born.[5]

One night, after the shops close, she encounters mannequins coming to life in the basement of Henrik's. The Autons are about to dispose of her when the Ninth Doctor saves her life, although he proceeds to destroy the building, thus costing Rose her job. She aids the Doctor in tracking down the hiding place of the Nestene Consciousness that is animating the Autons and subsequently helps defeat its plans of world conquest. She is initially reluctant to join the Doctor on his travels in the TARDIS, feeling that someone must stay to look after Mickey, but changes her mind when the Doctor returns to tell her they could travel in time.[4]

During her time with the Doctor, Rose sees the end of planet Earth,[6] watches her father die,[5] encounters the Doctor's oldest enemies[7] and learns about the consequences of tampering with history.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). It is revealed that Rose herself is the Bad Wolf,[8] the words being a message that she must return to the future to absorb the energies of the time vortex, saving the Doctor and the Earth from the Daleks. By absorbing the power of the TARDIS, she creates a predestination paradox and makes it possible not just to destroy the Daleks but to leave the clues seen throughout the series. The vortex energies also allow Rose to resurrect Jack Harkness, an act which grants him a level immortal[9] although the Doctor notes in Utopia that Rose had been unaware of this.

Soon the energies she absorbed begin to destroy her body. The Doctor, through a kiss, absorbs the power, sacrificing his ninth incarnation and regenerating before Rose's eyes into the Tenth Doctor.[8]

Rose is initially disconcerted at the Doctor's transformation,[10] and is even more distressed when the Doctor falls into a post-regenerative coma, unable to counter the threat of a Sycorax invasion. However, when the Doctor recovers and defeats the Sycorax, Rose happily accepts his new face and manner.[11]

Rose is knighted by Queen Victoria, making her Dame Rose of the Powell Estate, although immediately afterwards the two are banished from the British Empire.[12] When the Doctor, Rose and Mickey accidentally travel to a parallel Earth, Rose meets an alternative version of her father, who has become a success, unlike Rose's actual father.[13] Mickey elects to stay on the parallel Earth to fight the Cybermen, and Rose is upset that she will never see him again.[14]

Rose and the Doctor return to their own universe, but later find that both the alternate Cybermen and the Daleks are invading their Earth.[15] Although Rose and the Doctor manage to remove both enemies from Earth, Rose is nearly pulled into the "Void" between worlds in the process, and is only saved by being transported to the alternate world on the other side of the breach. There, she finds herself trapped on the parallel Earth albeit reunited with Jackie, Mickey and the alternate Pete Tyler. Later, the Doctor manages to project his image through the last crack between the universes, sharing a tearful farewell with her. He informs Rose that she is presumed dead in the aftermath of the invasion, thus verifying Rose's soliloquy at the start of the episode "This is the story of how I died". Rose in turn mentions working with that parallel Earth's (non secret) version of the Torchwood Institute due to her experience with aliens. Finally, Rose tells him she loves him, even though they denied it many times during the course of their time together. The Doctor begins to reply, getting as far as "If it's my last chance to say it...Rose Tyler, I--" before the connection fails.

After last seeing Rose, the Doctor would often become depressed at the mere mention of Rose, or whenever he is reminded of her. In "The Runaway Bride", he is reminded of Rose while attending a party, and a very brief clip of Rose from "New Earth" is used to illustrate this. Donna Noble, in "The Runaway Bride", discusses Rose with the Doctor, as does Martha Jones in the 2007 series.

In the series 3 episode, "Utopia", Jack Harkness mentions that while he was waiting for the Doctor to appear during the 20th century, he went to see Rose a few times while she was growing up. He says that in order to preserve established events, he never spoke to her in that time.

Doctor Who annual

The Doctor Who Annual 2006, published by Panini Comics in August 2005, gives further biographical information on Rose in an article written by the programme's chief writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies.[16] The piece includes the address of the flat she and Jackie live in (Flat 48, Bucknall House, Powell Estate, SE15 7GO), the fact that Jackie supports them by working from home as a hairdresser. It also mentions prior that to Rose meeting the Doctor, her only travelling experience was a school trip to France and an annual week's holiday to South Wales with her mother.

Rose (whose middle name is given as Marion) began seeing Mickey at the age of 14, and at 15 she was suspended from her school, Jericho Street Comprehensive, for persuading the choir to go on strike. After doing well in her GCSE exams, she left school to live with a 20 year-old musician, Jimmy Stone, but the affair ended in tears and with Rose £800 in debt. She subsequently returned to Jackie and Mickey, and her mother called in a favour from an ex-boyfriend to get her the job at Henrik's Department Store.

Other appearances

Rose is featured in the first twelve New Series Adventures novels and also appears in the Quick Reads Initiative release, I am a Dalek. Like most spin-off Doctor Who fiction, the canonicity of the novels remains unclear given the BBC has never made a pronouncement of what is considered official canon. However, the events of the novel The Monsters Inside are referenced in the episode "Boom Town". In the novels, some elements of Rose's backstory are fleshed out. Only Human reveals she was once engaged to be married; this does not appear to be a reference to Mickey, given Rose's unfriendly reference to the former fiancée, but it could be a reference to Jimmy Stone, mentioned in the Annual ; and in the same novel, Rose briefly marries Tillun, a member of a prehistoric tribe of cave men, as part of a ruse to protect his tribe.

Following Rose's departure from Doctor Who, a spin-off production titled Rose Tyler: Earth Defence was commissioned but ultimately withdrawn by Davies.

A Potential Return?

Since Rose was trapped in parallel earth at the end of 'Doomsday' seemingly forever people have speculated whether she would return one day. The actress has not said it is the end for Rose Tyler. On the Jonathan Ross chat show she replies that in science fiction anything can happen. More recently her former co-star Noel Clarke, whose character is trapped with Rose, hinted he could return to the show reigniting suspicion that Rose will also return. [17] [18]

Personality

Rose was the first television companion of the Doctor with a fully fleshed-out personal life and background that the audience actually saw on screen in her debut story, as opposed to something developed over time. For the first time since the first Doctor Who episode, "An Unearthly Child", "Rose" was told largely from the companion's point of view. It was also the first time the television series has examined the consequences of a companion leaving with the Doctor; for the year she was away, she was considered a missing person and Mickey was briefly suspected of her murder.[19]

She is also one of the few on-screen companions who were not cut off from their family and friends and the world they once knew. Ben and Polly elected to leave when the TARDIS materialised on the same calendar day they joined the Doctor. Both Jo Grant's and Sarah Jane Smith's travels with the Doctor were common knowledge by members of UNIT, for which Jo worked and with which Sarah Jane had a relationship via her job as a journalist. In addition, both Jo (who travelled with the Third Doctor) and Sarah Jane (who travelled with both the Third and Fourth Doctors) parted company with the Doctor on present day Earth and continued their normal lives. Along similar lines, Vislor Turlough, companion to the Fifth Doctor, was actually reunited with his younger brother because of his travels with the Doctor.

Rose is unique in that she is the first companion whose immediate family and/or a close friend knew of her travels with the Doctor while they occurred. Mickey was aware of her new occupation and tracked her movements through his website. Jackie found out about the life her daughter was leading[19] and, despite pleading for her to stay, Rose continued to travel with the Doctor.[20] She was able to communicate with her mother via her "Superphone" and Rose would often phone home during her travels and let her mother know her activities.[21]

Rose is a quick-witted, inquisitive and compassionate young woman, who despite the strange events she is thrown into is quick to adapt to them. She falls easily into the role of the Doctor's latest companion and shows both determination and courage while facing various alien threats. She cares deeply about the Doctor, although whether or not her feelings are purely platonic or have at some sexual component to them is left open to viewers' interpretation. She states on several occasions her desire to stay with the Doctor for the rest of her life,[22][15] and chooses to stay with the Doctor, even though it means forever leaving her mother and Mickey on the parallel earth.[23] In their final moments together, Rose tells the Doctor that she loves him; he begins to reply but only manages to say her name before his transmission is cut off and the two are parted indefinitely.[23] It is strongly hinted, however, that he would have replied "I love you"; he had already once started to leave her such a message, believing that he would soon die, but ultimately changed his mind because "she already knows".[24]

Rose is not the first companion whose deep platonic love for the Doctor doesn't at least suggest romantic interest as well. Sarah Jane Smith hints at complicated feelings for the Doctor in "School Reunion" when he asks her if she had ever married and she tells him she hasn't ("You're a tough act to follow," she adds). Grace Holloway makes a joking reference to having fallen for the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 TV movie. In "Army of Ghosts", Rose also indicates her intention to stay with the Doctor "forever", a sentiment never before expressed by previous companions, many of whom were reluctant travellers. According to the BBC website, Rose's favourite film is Spider-Man 2, though the canonicity of this is unclear.[25]

Writing in the Times Literary Supplement, Roz Kaveney described Rose as a "'Mary Sue" — an unironic reflection of the writers' and fans' desire to get in there and help the Doctor out (while managing to stay pretty)."[26]
