I think it's something about fans becoming increasingly entitled over time; at 45 years this is one of the most entitled fandoms ever! Plus there was that gap period where fans kind of did control canon, and you can tell a lot of them aren't happy about having to hand control back over to the professionals! (It's such a contrast with BtVS, where Joss was "god" to most fans. Most of DW fandom acts like RTD is spitting on their childhood every time he writes an episode! And I'd argue that RTD is at least as talented as Joss if not more.)
It really is. He's so cute. And love makes him look younger -- I noticed that in S4, that all that age he's been carrying around just melted away when he saw Rose.
It's true! Not that I don't like him angsty--I love season three, too. But you need the happiness to balance it out, otherwise the misery just gets tedious. :)
