Gah. Once again, you manage to say everything so brilliantly. :D
Gridlock really *does* set the Doctor's character arc for the rest of the season. We saw glimpses of his grief for Rose in S&J and TSC, but Gridlock is more about the ramifications. I think it was DT who described the Doctor in the Gridlock Confidential as having lost everything and then, with Rose, losing everything again. I always thought that was a very apt way to put it. *sniff*
Love all your parallels to NE and tEotW. Never thought about it that way, which is probably why it's a good thing we have you to do all our deep analysis for us. *G*
I'm very curious to read what you'll say about the Dalek two-parter. I liked them well enough the first time around, but I had a lot of trouble trying to watch them again.
