I think I really looked at that line and the surrounding context differently than everyone else, LOL! When Sylvia fought the initial statement, it didn't come across that she was saying that Donna wasn't better, but she was trying to defend Donna -- not knowing the full scope of how Donna WAS better with the Doctor.
I see what you're saying completely in the last paragraph, but because it's not dependent upon just the best story, but rather the availability of the actors and the length and tenure of the exec producers/head writers, I have learned to grasp onto the most positive viable outcome that makes sense to me if I can.
If canon comes along and gives us a better, on-screen awesome Donna than we saw at the end of JE, if it's proven that Rose is not happy with 10.5, and that she and Ten will eventually be with one another, I'll be thrilled from the point of view of seeing it on screen, official canon. But until such time, I'm just the type of person who's going to grab that potential happy-ever-after and say it is so. That's just me.
Just because we disagree on this, don't think that I don't love reading your theories, because I do. I think they're awesome and there are quite a few from pre-finale that I would have liked to see come true, but, ah, if wishes were horses ...
