The S3 ending left me with a bigger feeling of "They could have done better," honestly. And I can't help loving Daleks, but maybe I'm easily amused. >_> But I agree with a lot of what you've said here.
And there should have been tears then, heartache as he confessed it and pulled her away from Nu!Ten and held her tightly and kissed her properly, and then and only then should he have been forced to give her up to Nu!Ten.
THIS. So much this. Gah. And you're definitely right about River Song. But as I said in my own journal, unfortunately, all the Doctor can do now is "prepare for an awkward, doomed romance with Moffat's shrewish creation. Ew." And there was no closure with Jack and Rose. And Donna's character was frankly violated. Like, my own layout upsets me now.
...Oh yes, I will be fixing this in fic. Not sure about fixing Donna, but like in your Time Eternal verse, my Peril-verse will at least keep her alive and kicking, and canon can stuff it. :-p
Those moments of win were fantastic; it's a shame they were temporarily blown out of my head by the episode's ending.
