YES TO THIS. BIG, FAT YES. The Doctor seems to have a hard time letting people live or die on their own terms (see: Astrid falling to her death after a moment of self-sacrifice, only to be brought back in the form of a half-conscious ghost long enough for the Doctor to smooch her and tell her she's flying before he 'releases' her... and River living in the matrix so the Doctor can pretend he's saved her).

Either that, or RTD has a hard time figuring out how to resolve character arcs, which is compounded by his tendency to write characters who have no lives and nothing better to do than travel with the Doctor forever.
