I'm really glad you didn't skip that scene, it balances out the angst...very WHOish. :D
Are you kidding? You totally made it work, for one thing it's SO much easier to watch the episode now. Seeing it from this perspective I don't have that urge to bash Moffat's head in.
Though it is his way of writing isn't it? His "babes of the week" would make great companions but he tends to forget the companion the Doctor already have. I must admit that makes me a bit worried for the new season. I mean yeah I do get that I was watching Doctor Who and not the "Ten and Tyler show" but it really irks me the way he wrote relationships in that episode.
Yeah it definitely doesn't make sense for him to fall that hard, that quickly for some fabulous creature (since he's met thousands of that type before and technically he is one himself) without there being something more to it than her just being ZOMGAWESOME!!1eleventyoneone!
"oh man my French fling died, this is tragic!!!!" LOL!! I read French fry at first and I was all: "wait...WHAT?" although I wouldn't put it past the Doctor to call her that if she'd made it to the TARDIS.
...ultimately why Journey's End, though bittersweet, is still the happiest ending any of them were ever going to get
Oh that's my sentiment exactly. The thought of having "himself" live a full life with Rose is as close to happily ever after he'll ever get. Also I truly believe that TenII/Rose will have a more fantastic life than Ten/Rose because TenII can actually allow himself to love Rose properly.
._. Hah, this is starting to morph into my lengthy incoherent reaction post to JE and the Twin!Tens, then again who didn't write incoherent lj-posts about that mind fuck?
...That part that makes him half-human also enables him to be the kind of man that The Doctor can never be for Rose. He can, as alt!Ten, understand her in ways that he couldn't as Ten because he's now human as well. He can give her that normal life and he doesn't have to put up barriers to shield himself from the hurt of separation when she dies, because in the end he'll die as well.
...and I think that Ten has found peace in TenII/rose based on the fact that a)as you said he never has to watch her die b)he'll be watching over her as TenII and c)there's a foreseeable end to him now.
