This is maybe why it took me an entire season to get over Nine and used to Ten.
the friend i am doing my re-watch with is having the same exact issue.
I will say, though I never really bought into the Ten/Rose, the show almost changed my mind for one split second - and that was just after he got shot by the Dalek. Suddenly, if only for those last few minutes, I saw it.
i will say that i could definitely buy ten/rose at various times -- but not the kind of ten/rose that most of fandom seems to produce. they love each other, but they want different things, as is made obvious many times, so the ten/rose i can see is fairly sad.
but Rose and the Doctor's positive influence on each other kinda came to a stop when he died saving her and then came back with a self that revolved around her.
as in all situations involving a nineteen year old girl and a thousand year old alien, i blame the guy who has the age and experience to know better.
