So..all of my opinions are completely uneducated because I still haven't watched all of S2, but yes, what I got out of it was this, to the point where I was surprised to see what a common right!ship it seems to be. like:
Ten knows/fears/suspects that the man with whom Rose is in love isn't the reality of him.
was it not all about this?
I don't think his feelings for her amounted to an ~all-consuming, beyond reason, beyond rationality, beyond self-preservation, "without you the universe itself ceases to have meaning" sort of earth-shaking codependence (that's Eleven's Amy thing -- but that's a topic for another day), nor should that really be... something... to be aspired to...? Rather, I think Rose was the Doctor's attempt to do it right.
Yeah, exactly. I think the Doctor, in those early seasons, was in desperate need of someone to ground him, and he latched onto Rose. And Rose wanted a way to have her own adventures, and the Doctor provided that, so she latched onto him. On that level, the clone is pretty apt.
