Man, some of the SJA fandom is really being HARSH on poor Rani and her family. It's one thing to not like a character for her own sake, but Rani is catching so much flak for just... not being Maria. I liked Maria too, but I respect the actress for choosing to focus on her exams rather than count on an acting career in the long run. And writing out the Jacksons meant writing out roughly half the cast. Obviously they would need to bring in new characters. Not to mention, this is a spinoff of DOCTOR WHO. New characters happen.

So, Rani's not Maria. But she's not trying to be. She's Rani.

Really? That's so silly. I like them both. But I honestly like Rani better.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, chunks of the fandom still haven't forgiven Martha for not being Rose. :p

Heheh I didn't want Martha to be Rose I just wanted Martha to be interesting. And she usually failed. :)

The only one I've lovedloved has been Donna.

I thought this fandom was more grown-up that than :(

I mean, I don't love Rani yet and I miss Maria, but it's been two episodes. She's allowed to have some time to work at stealing our hearts.
