In other words, if the Doctor doesn't see himself as [..] That's more than enough to start on.
*shrug* She's simply amazingly unexceptional with little to recommend her and a very noticable selfish streak. tGitF makes the Doctor look stupid in the heat of the moment, the Rose love makes him look like a fool with a midlife crisis.
Weirdly though I suspect that repeating the same pattern with the new girl is going to make the love for Rose look less WTF to me. Because the utterly insane thing right now is how much the series seems to want to pin to an extraordinarily average woman, treating her as special while also demanding that she be as generic as possible.
I dunno, it's like if Buffy suddenly hooked up with... Jonathan or Andrew or someone?
