He really is in a dark place at the moment. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Part of me is hopping about, going 'see, see, see!'-a la Daniel Jackson-look how important Rose is to him! But then...how is he going to get out of this, though? So far, I'm not sure Martha is going to help him with that, given how he's resisting caring about her and she's still got her eye somewhat fixed on having him for a boyfriend.
Indeed! All through Daleks in Manhattan, I was saying, "Can't someone please give the Doctor a hug?" And then he hugged Martha in Evolution and regretted it afterward and my heart just ached. Because Martha's right -- he has moments when he sees a glimpse of something that reminds him of Rose and then the pain crashes back in when it isn't her.
My hope is Martha will give up on the crush and just be his friend, because that's what he really needs right now. He needs a friend. But I don't think she'll be able to do that until she really understands what Rose meant to him and why. Until he's in a place where he can do that, Martha simply doesn't have enough information.
I love it! Me, I'm more of a sucker for authorial intent, so it makes me veeery happy when RTD busts out with 'the love of his life' and 'he thought she was the most wonderful woman in the universe.' YAY.
RTD is so cute when it comes to the Doctor and Rose. So cute. He set out to tell a love story and damn well did it.
