Rose's journey is absolutely one of my favourite things about the new series and I definitely agree that the Master basically filled that emotional connection for the Doctor in s3.
Without the Master, it's possible Jack might have gone some of the way to filling that role, but while I tend to ship Jack/Doctor and I find their relationship rather brilliant and interesting, a lot of their connection (especially in Utopia) seems to come through Rose.
I admit I've long been fascinated by the idea of Rose and the Master meeting. The way he speaks of her looking into the Time Vortex... obviously that's to make Martha feel inadequate but he's fascinated, both by all that she did when it drove him mad and, so I imagine, by a human whose loss has so deeply affected the Doctor.
Anyway, now I'm rambling with no real direction. Just assume I've nodded to EVERYTHING in this post and you'll get and idea of what I think! XD
