This started somewhat seriously and descended into crack, lol.
1. The Doctor going on and on about "oh, and Martha was so awesome-- Have I already told you about Martha? She was a doctor, Martha. Or almost. I miss Martha. Martha would've known what to do" and then I want him to get slapped by Donna because it would be lol-arious and I'd laugh so, so much.
2. MOAR TARDIS. I've wanted a 'lost inside the TARDIS' episode ever since I first started watching the series, because the potential sounds oh so incredible. I'm talking about endless maze-like corridors and stumbling into all kinds of strange rooms with strange things (and a pool and an aquarium and a room filled with weird insects and, dunno, a live dinosaur, why the hell not) while being chased by nasty things and not being able to get out. Oh yes, I'd love that.
3. I want Martha to either get the Doctor to see her in the way she wants him to, or for her to get over him for good. Since this is still Who and the former will never happen, then I just want her to move on. She's already starting to realize how much she's worth, and by the time she comes back on board, and has spent some time away from the Doctor, I do believe she's going to get it, how the Doctor is really so unhuman and so uncapable of what she's asking of him and how, in the end, she deserves better than pining.
4. I want Donna to slap the Doctor. Repeatedly. And then he'll (finally) be angst free and we'll all be able to sleep better.
5. As everyone and their mothers ask around this time: more alien planets. We're tired of Earth, RTD! (and of Cardiff...)
6. More time traveling. Paradoxes, conflicting time lines, wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff, I want it all. There's a reason Father's Day is still one of my favorite episodes of New Who, after all.
7. The Master. *shifty eyes* Played by John Simm, that is..
8. More info on the Time War and the Doctor's parenthood/weddings/family Time Lord-y stuff. That would lead to angst, though, so that's a catch-22. Mmm...
9. For the Doctor to finally listen to what Donna said of him needing someone to stop him, because it's so very true, and he sorta knows already just how much of a monster he can be, and yet he doesn't do much about it. Donna will be so good for him, really, and I know she's strong enough not to get broken when she leaves, which she will. The Doctor wants, above all, to be loved. To be needed, whether or not he's willing to return the favor. Asking Donna to come along, someone who he knows won't glorify him or adore him or worship him or fall in love with him for that matter and that will tell on his bullshit, is actually a step forward for him, or at least, it is to me.
10. More random licking of stuff by Ten. Seriously.
And one thing I want to see in Torchwood, season 2:
1. Martha pwning everyone else. BUT. That's something I just KNOW will happen, because, well, DUH, so.
2. Martha punching Owen. Because it would make my life brighter, I swear.
ETA: I was cruising through
ihasatardis and man, I hadn't realized how much the glowy!Doctor from LotTL still makes me cringe everytime I even think of it. I still don't think the episode is as awful as the rest of the fandom found it but that part? Was so so so so bad.
And my other thinky thoughts include, DUM DUM DUUUUM, how better everyone's costumes have become. Most of Rose's outfits during series 1 were Awful with a capital A (ugh, remember that horrible hoody... thingy in The Long Game? Ew, and the exceptions were the Union shirt because it was cute and the pretty shirt in The Christmas Invasion), and then it got much much prettier in series 2 (with the exception of the blue cardigan or whatever she wears all through Army of Ghosts/Doomsday), and then most of what Martha wears during season 3 is all really really pretty so yayz for the wardrobe department to actually improve their work. (now, if the make-up department had only cut back a bit on Billie's mascara...)
In other news, I have a new car. Now that I've actually driven it for longer than three minutes, I'm starting to like it very much. Sure, I'll always be attached to my old, shitty, red chevy, because it was my first car, but this one's rather... shiny. Me likes.
Also, I took a three hour nap in my grandma's couch. Um. (My family just kinda went and left me there because I didn't want to wake up, haha.)

I pretty much agree with all your points, especially #10. The world would be a much better place if it had more of that.
Haha, I love naps! But it's kinda hilarious that your family just left you!
(no subject)
WE SHOULD HAVE AN ONLINE PETITION. 'MORE LICKAGE BY TENNANT', IT COULD BE CALLED. LOL.
I know! They just said, 'hey, we're going' and since I kinda ignored them and curled up a bit more they just went 'bah, see you at home' and left, haha.
(no subject)
YES PLZ. I mean, especially now that she's the only one left in existence. They did it so well, back in the Baker years—Logopolis and Invasion of Time were both awesome, and the TARDIS sequences were key to setting the tone (and plot) in both—why not again? The TARDIS is surely sci-fi's gift to writers everywhere. And I wanna know what happened to the roundels, damn it.
I still don't think the episode is as awful as the rest of the fandom found it but that part? Was so so so so bad.
But so, so, so funny. There's no funny like unintentional funny.
(no subject)
But oh, definitely - the TARDIS is just so intriguing and cool. I've always disliked most sci-fi because everything's too shiny, too ordered, too neat, and the TARDIS (and Doctor Who on itself, actually) is just the opposite, which I very much approve of.
Well, yeah, there's that (I think I did laugh in that part when I first saw it - I think I yelled something close to 'OMG TINKERBELL!DOCTOR!), but at the same time, it's sad that we're laughing at an episode's climax, lol.

I kept nodding and going "YES!" with every single point. Every single one of them. I love them all and I love you for pointing them out. YES.
Especially 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 and 10. And Seven. 7 is good.

I think I'll lol and be happy evertime the Doctor is slapped by Donna. Oh, it'll be wonderful, I can already feel it. *is excited like whoa*
(no subject)
I think I'm excited for Donna, overall. 'Cause you're right, she's totally the kind of girl who won't put up with any of the Doctor's nonsense -- sometimes a slap in the face is just what a broody Time Lord needs, methinks!
Also in agreement re. the clothes. Sometimes Billie Piper would come onscreen and I'd just think, "God, no, is that what fashion is like in Britian?!" (Then again, North American "fashion" isn't so fantastic either, but anyway.)
(no subject)
Oh God, yes - some of her first outfits were so so bad and she looked, well, not trashy, but rather like she didn't care at all. Ugh.
(no subject)
I confess I am slightly scared of Torchwood, though? Torchwood made Jack inept. IF TORCHWOOD MAKES MARTHA INEPT I WILL CRY.
Damnit, I still need a Martha icon.
(And anyway even in the promo photos Martha already looked far more awesome than everyone else there, lol.)
