So much seconded to all of that. WHERE HAVE YOU PEOPLE BEEN ALL MY LIFE.
(Honestly, I don't even know how anyone can think Ten/Rose, or even Nine/Rose, was any sort of healthy relationship, let alone a swoonily romantic one. I like Billie Piper as an actress and Rose as a character well enough; but she and the Doctor brought out the absolute worst in each other, except [surprise!] when Moffat was writing them.)
Also, as a Christian viewer, I found the whole "Lonely God" motif to be gross. And just when I'd almost convinced myself I was being hypersensitive, RTD had Ten assume a crucifix posture and be carried up into the air by robotic angels, which ... ugh.
Not the Doctor, basically. And definitely not MY Doctor.
Meanwhile, Eleven is now my favorite Doctor of all time, even displacing my long-adored Five (though only just). So uneven scripts and occasional annoying sex jokes aside (seriously, people, lay off with that), Moffat had to be doing something right.
