Re ETA 3: Seriously, I don't understand why there are any number of shippers who think this is a good ending for Doctor/Rose. She's still needy and clingy enough after several years to have hunted him down instead of living the fantastic life he always wanted her to have. He's still emotionally detached and oblivious enough to fob his double off on her as if he were the real thing. And if Spare Ten really is the same as the real thing, then how exactly does making him half-human mean that he automatically loses all the traits that make Real Ten a crappy boyfriend -- his recklessness; his attraction to the nearest blonde; his inability to hold down a real job; the wanderlust he's going to have starting, oh, about ten minutes after they leave the beach?
Never mind all that. He practically demanded that she cure his broken self all over again. I am not particularly attached to Rose, but that still left me royally pissed. AND THEN SHE WENT ALONG WITH IT? Ten I suppose I recognize, but what the hell have they done with Rose?

I, too, was disappointed when nothing other than him entered the equation for her on the beach, but I didn't gather that her hunt for him had started the minute after she first left the beach, or that it had ever been about a personal reunion. Hunting down the Doctor is a pretty reasonable thing to do if the universe is collapsing and you don't know any other experts in that field.
Apparently she accidentally found a universal disaster after already starting to try to break down universal walls for him? I'm still telling myself they didn't start trying to find him until after shit started to happen, so they could use him for help, and she figured while she was at it she could try to reunite wif her lurve.

I refuse to believe that any of the Doctor's 5.63 billion best friends would do that. There is nothing RTD can do to convince me of it, either, up to and including filming it.
I just rewatched the episode, and I think airie_fairy got it right. When Rose tells the Doctor about the dimension cannon, she doesn't say they built it to track him down and get his help; she says they built it "so [she] could come back." And then on the beach, she whines, "I spent all that time trying to find you -- I'm not going back now." It's some pretty bad character assassination on RTD's part.
