Thank you so much for this. I've been plagued with negative thoughts lately about Rose's return (predominantly the idea that maybe RTD regrets the intensity of S3 and is bringing Rose back so they can have some closure and go their separate ways/have moved on), but honestly, after reading this, you've made me feel so much better about this ship and why I love them so much. I've been burned by ships in the past so much that I'm always on the lookout for danger.
But RTD and TPTB are adults, they knew what they were doing when they wrote S3 and the fact that Rose was mentioned all the way up to the last episode (with the Master mentioning the time vortex) seems to signify something. When all of the production team, the actors (I mean even DT, ultimate DW fanboy (no sex in the Tardis!), declared Rose "the love of his life"), hell, even the composer loves D/R, I think I'll put my faith behind them. They probably have a great reason/idea for bringing BP back (as she said herself that "it is a great story").
So, I'm pretty much in love with this post. I recently watched Series 1 (I actually saw S2 first, so I accidently did it out of order), and I can't believe how they sucked me in to romance. I fell for them at that line as well, "I could save the world but lose you." and what surprises me now is that that line occured in episode 5. And I totally bought it. That's how awesome the actors/writers are. =) Not to mention that my roommate, who totally didn't ship D/R with 10 (she said Rose loved the Doctor more than he did her), is now shipping them like crazy since watching S3.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm friending you! I love your posts. =)
