I read a review of the special, I forget where. They really enjoyed it, but questioned why the Moment had to be Rose. I don't think out of any particular anti-Rose sentiment, but they felt it could have been any companion (they wanted Donna, as I recall).

Silly. Of course it had to be Rose. Because Rose was the Doctor's rehabilitation. Because he went from this event to being Nine with her image stashed away in his head somewhere (nothing is ever forgotten, not completely). Because Rose was the one with a big, transcendent, space-time link that could hook her into an event like this. Because all the girls with a box are one girl with a box. Because she said "the Time War ends" and "I wanted you safe, my Doctor," and willed it so.

Of course it had to be Rose!
