JE put Ten/Rose shippers in an impossible bind. We were given what we thought we wanted. If you don't accept Ten II as the "real" Doctor you upset a lot of people who are certain that he is. But if he's the Doctor, then it's kind of a slap in the face to the POTB to stubbornly write Brown Ten/Rose.
At first I thought "Screw Ten II, he isn't the real deal." But as I wrote, I began to care about him. Couldn't help myself. So it's very hard to find an ending that works for everyone.
I'm still trying to figure this one out. And I think another aspect to the problem is that we know there's more of the story yet to come - RTD is deeply involved in the Specials, and there are many uncertainties there.
I'm beginning to feel that the only thing I want to do is write my version of the Christmas Special - using "It's a Wonderful Life" as a template for Ten to find out the error or his ways. But that means either killing off 10.2 or leaving him alone, so still no happy ending.

Damn you, RTD, you clever bastard!
