I'm with you completely. The writing - whoever did it! - is so good that I don't find it jarring or difficult to accept when the tone changes so abruptly from the teasing and banter to the serious moral territory. There are some people who just love to find fault :(
I was attracted to writing Ten and Donna through the banter first of all (they remind me of Josh and Donna in The West Wing in that respect, which is my "other" fandom) but like you, the fact that she's his equal - his counterweight - is what really clinches the deal. She knows what she's signed up for and still wants to travel with him forever, *sniffle*
