Oh yeah, that's really interesting. I kept having these niggly feelings that the Rose/Doctor relationship all went A Bit Wrong in series 2, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why. Because I liked Rose a lot, and at the end of series 1, I'd have hated the thought of her leaving. But when she actually did leave, I just though, hmm... probably all for the best. It's a bit disappointing really, although there's lots I liked about series 2. But that coloured it for me, a bit.
I was just thinking though, the reason I found The Parting of the Ways emotionally affecting was because it was about Rose, actually thinking for herself, about how she wanted to live her life - realising that she wanted to do things and make things better. And by the end of series 2, it wasn't about that any more, it was about following the Doctor around wherever he went. So I rather breathed a sigh of relief when it was all over -- now she can go off and do interesting things on her own.
As for the Doctor, silly boy - he'll be perfectly all right by next Tuesday. I hope Martha is cantankerous, difficult, headstrong and other words like that.
