I still think it was pretty awful from Rose's point of view. And actually, the difference in the way the two Doctors responded to her insistence that he finish 'that' sentence underlines for me why that is. The 'real' Doctor responded to that in a completely different way from the 'alt' Doctor - and that in itself is to me enough to show that what she's walking away with at the end isn't really the man she fell in love with at all. OK, so maybe she'll find her own kind of happiness with him. But I think there'll always be a sort of empty, hollow ring to it all the same.
All that, of course, is putting aside the fact that I would have preferred her arc just to be left to rest as it was at the end of Doomsday, anyway. I had no problem at all with the Rose character, or even her relationship with the Doctor, up to exactly that point. In fact, I quite liked her. But I'm afraid almost everything that's happened with her in season 4 has only damaged my opinion of her. :-(
