Yeah, Ten never appealed to me either. As far as the timeline goes, we could've seen Mickey with Rose rather than with Martha as the Doctor did go back to pre-Nine Rose rather than to where Rose is now with Handy in the parallel universe, but that would never happen in RTD-World, Rose and Ten are twu-wuv 4eva!
And since EoT was filmed well after CoE, RTD knew that Martha with Mickey was going to come out of nowhere, given that she'd only met him in Journey's End, especially given what we found out about Martha in TW series 2 and CoE. So yeah, lazy writing as a way to wedge in one more character from his own time in Who.
