Good point. And he points out that v2.0 is him, in his genocidal phase. So it's interesting he can be all high and mighty now, considering what he himself has done.
Catherine Tate didn't create the cultural climate. And while, no, I don't like her comedy, I thought she did a fine job as Donna, especially because she wasn't the character I've seen in her other work (not that I've seen much). She was acting, as far as I can see. And anyway, we have several generations of kids who could have had adventures when they were instead watching Doctor Who. Who's to say who's to blame?
Your points re: Rose and v2.0 are all very good. It is going to be a nightmare for her, because she'll be constantly reminded of what she was looking for.
Whilst it seems to be handing the fans what they want it is also kind of saying "really, you'll get second best, cos we get to do what we like with OUR character, thank you very much, go play with your damaged reject."
This is going to be read any way the fans want to for their own purposes, I think.
Moffat's not perfect. But it'll be interesting to see what happens next.
