I've lagged a little behind on this and am a bit overwhelmed catching up all at once! You're certainly ratcheting up the angst! I can see how they're reacting very well given the situation they're put in... although there are a few points where I begin to think that the Doctor's been pushed to the very far edge of his characterization. He wants to protect Rose so much, I can see him pushing her away, but he's also a big softy when it comes to hurting her - he shoves her in the TARDIS and runs away; when things get really nasty in the fight in Father's Day, when she lashes out at him, he shuts down and runs away. So while I'm rightfully angry at him for the way he's doing it, I feel a little protective of him as a character because what he's doing is not intentional in the true sense of the word.
All that said, I'm enjoying this ... well, not enjoying, but you know what I mean ... on its own terms and look forward to some resolution.
And he gets a boy this time! I totally understand the impulse to give him a girl, but it's nice to change things up once in a while. ;-)
