Listening from 2013 (timey-wimey) I’m glad your “verbose ramblings” contain fewer rabbit trails than this commentary now. While you were yammering you missed a turning point here where the Doctor agrees to do this for Rose because, as he says, “Your wish is my command.” What previous Doctor would have said that? Depending on your point of view, this is where everything changes. He clearly is in love with her, which is why he will do anything for her and is quick to grab her hand. But she is still just having a flirt as she can’t understand everyone assuming they’re a couple despite the age gap. One wonders whether the younger, more attractive Tennant was a result of this wanting to make them a couple? And plot wise if we’re meant to think the Doctor willed himself younger & more attractive during regeneration?
