The only place in S2 where I felt like there was emotional dissonance was Girl. For me, everything else completely tracks from what we got in S1. Which is, again, part of why I have such an issue with the episode. It really doesn't feel as though it fits at all.

And, wow, we definitely disagree so much on Rose. I adored her from the beginning -- her attempts to make sense of the Doctor's world, her refusal to let go of finding out the truth and searching it out on her own, her ability point out the trees that the Doctor misses while he's looking for the forest, her incredible bravery in saving the Doctor, and the look on her face when she runs into the TARDIS -- I was in love with Rose Tyler before the first episode was over, and each episode has only made me love her more.
