i. Rose is not remarkable enough for an emotional position that is sold as remarkable; the universe around her treats her as special when she has done almost nothing to earn it. ii. S2 applies its harsh "specialectomy" by belatedly laying the groundwork of the Doctor's neediness and repeating pattern of fast, huge, highly-focussed love that wanders and latches onto anyone and anything regardless of what thing is actually like. Opening the worrying question of whether S1 was a lie or S2 is a back-pedal, but either way creating the problematic Ten/Rose that some felt let down by as a lessening of the love even though it wasn't.
