Well, as I've said before, I share your unpopular opinion on Donna in "Journey's End." I think her fate is tragic, but fits so perfectly with the arc of the season. "Turn Left" in particular sets up how amazing she can be without the Doctor.
I am sooo glad to see you, and others in the comments, who are not totally enamored of Doctor/Rose/Jack. I find OT3, Doctor/Jack, and Rose/Jack all incredibly squicky. I do like Jack, but I don't love Jack. I really enjoy Torchwood, but I think I love Gwen and Ianto more.
The first time I saw "Love & Monsters" I thought it was a little silly, and was sad that the Doctor and Rose were hardly there. But I don't understand the hate towards it at all, and I find myself liking it more and more every time I see it. The Jackie bits are especially great, but the characters in general are a bit endearing.
With you on the Daleks! I don't get what all the fuss is about! Granted, I thought "Evolution of the Daleks" was very, very lame, but I'm still not bothered by the Daleks inability to die.
Though the brown suit is clearly superior, the blue suit does have it's good moments. I actually really loved it in "Planet of the Ood,"
Some more odd opinions: I like all the new series full time companions, though admittedly not equally. At times it feels like Martha fans must hate Rose and vice-versa, which puts me in an awkward spot fandom wise. I liked Donna in TRB, and series 4 made me love her. I'm not really sure whether she or Rose is my all time favorite.
I ship both Doctor/Rose (Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, and Ten II/Rose) and Doctor/Romana (in pretty much any regeneration for either), and would love to see Romana come back in the future. I get the impression, however, that many Romana and Doctor/Romana fans abhor the new series and/or Rose.
It bugs me in fanfic when the Doctor expresses something about how Rose is so much more perfect or understands him so much better than anyone ever could or will, or that she is the only person that he has ever or will ever love. I think he's completely in love with Rose, and that's not reduced at all by the fact that he has loved other people (romantically or platonically) during the past 900 years.
"Fear Her" has a really awful plot. It's only redeeming factor is the adorable flirtiness of the Doctor and Rose. If not for that... totally boring. (Of course, "42" really is totally boring, but I've never seen much love for that!)
I'm sure I have more... but that's what I can think of now.
