Ohhh I love you! I agree with so much of what you've written here, so it's great to know I'm not alone :)
I agree with you on the Doctor/Rose/Jack thing. It's just... no. I went through a phase of liking it but then one day I just thought 'what are you doing? it's bad, Jack is their FRIEND'.
The Moffat thing - the library episodes make me cringe just thinking about them. *shudder* The only bit I liked was Donna's story. The rest of it is Not Good. And while I'd probably go as far as to name Girl in the Fireplace one of my favourite episodes, to me the characterisation just doesn't fit in with the story RTD built up. The history geek in me gets mad at parts of the portrayal of Madame de Pompadour (I do like her though, which I imagine is quite an unpopular opinion!), I don't like the way the Doctor gets turned into some sort of man whore (seems to be a theme with Moffat), and I don't like Moffat's treatment of companions. It seems like they keep getting shoved aside for the Doctor's Girlfriend of the Week - at least Donna and Rose do and it makes me mad. *gets off Moffat soapbox*
And I'm with you on the Donna thing. I'm SUCH a Doctor/Rose shipper, but Donna is one of the best characters in anything EVER. I love her. I want her to be my friend.
And oh, Martha. There's so much I could say here but won't. I'm not a major fan of hers, not because she's a bad character and not because I dislike Freema Agyeman (she seems so lovely!) but sometimes she just comes across as a little bland and she never struck a chord with me the way Rose and Donna did. And I don't get 10/Martha (don't get 10/River either, but that's another matter). *shudder*
I'll shut up now. *has rambled on for waaaay too long* Sorry about the length! It's nice to know there are other people who have somewhat unpopular opinions too ;)
