I think part of the problem is that Ten II literally didn’t exist till twenty minutes into “Journey’s End.” He practically screams “plot device.”
There is a sense that some of what 10 does there on the beach is aimed at saving Donna.
But if he knew that Donna was in trouble before she started babbling (and I’m not saying that you’re wrong), why didn’t he say anything sooner? He had a whole team of bright, talented people aboard the Tardis, not to mention two other Time Lords. If he’d told them what was happening, maybe they could’ve found a better way of dealing with it.
The JE kiss had all the earmarks of all the other false kisses.
In my eyes, the only real kiss in Doctor Who was at the end of “The Parting of the Ways.” Sure, you could argue that the Doctor only kissed Rose to save her life. But it felt real in a way the others don’t.
