https://itcouldbesaid.substack.com/p/it-could-be-said-34-doctor-who-did For anyone who's interested Jonn's review finally kicked me to write down why I really hated the ending of Journey's End. Fun fact - this began as an attempt at microblogging rather than doing twitter threads, yet it became a more standard article because I really hate the end of this episode.
Come to think of it, Moffat totally refuted both Rose and Donna’s exits with Amy and Clara’s respectively. They were the ones in control, not the Doctor.
Good insight! Had obviously spotted the way Clara's exit inverts Donna's, because I have eyes and stuff, but hadn't noticed that Amy's does the same for Rose's - that she chooses to be trapped without the Doctor, and that it's a romantic attachment to someone else that does it.

ah yes but they're not themselves, this is the first time Rose kisses the Doctor I think?
