Sarah Jane: She was something of a feminist, but I would say that's been in now way diminished here. She was an investigative journalist, and clearly she still is, and kicking more butt than ever. She might have been pining for the Doctor in ways, but it hasn't ever stopped her work, her crusades to help people. Actually...it's almost a classic tragedy of our society; the feminist who breaks the barriers and does big jobs as good as the boys, but her personal life gets left out in the cold a bit because people don't know how to relate to a non-traditional woman. (Stupid gits. :?P I'd love to hang out with Sarah Jane Smith!)
The Doctor's Age: Y'know the funny thing is that he might actually be well over a thousand as well. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctor_(Doctor_Who)#The_Doctor.27s_age *g*
Rose, different?: I'm not even sure the Doctor knows if she will be. I think he tells himself so now, but that scene smacked to me of a certain amount of denial. He can't let himself think about this. (Also? The line about "you can spend your whole life with me, but I can't spend my whole life with you"? Completely echoes something I wrote years ago in a Doctor/Grace story. One I'm still quite proud of, actually. :?)
The Doctor's relationships: I still think this all goes back to a man who never quite got over the death of his wife. And if she was a Time Lady, but died in one of the ways which precludes regeneration...I imagine losing someone who SHOULD have been able to be with you through all the centuries makes it that much harder to love firefly mortals.
