Ummmm!

I grew up with Dr Who, in the 60's and 70's. He was Asexual, with no romantic overtones. So the new breed with all the companions in love with him does kind of leave me cold. I like Donna, cos that is not there, I didn't like River, and I hated Rose with a passion. While I did like Martha, I would've preferred The Doctor to be back to his old self, and above all that. Not pining after Rose!

So I really do not ship The Doctor. I would ship Jack, but not with The Doctor. I know he has to be up-dated to appeal to a new generation of viewer, and maybe they do want romance, but old Dr Who fan here, and, for me, he is Asexual. No matter who they get to portray him.

Same with Owen, he is too selfish to be in a relationship! Or now he is with Tosh forever. *sigh*

Well I'm what you'd call a new viewer (really new since I watched the first three series together in like a month and am now watching the fourth... and never watched even one scene of the Classic) therefore I only know Nine and Ten and what Russel made of the show. That said I'm not too fond of this new supposed romantic interest they gave to the Doctor (River I mean) nor I like the chance that she's his wife.

But... I don't mind him *not* being asexual. Of course you know me perfectly so you know I could only be happy if I saw him with Jack (or the Master...) but I didn't hate Rose and I quite liked Martha. She was a dreamy eyed schoolgirl but who wouldn't be with a man like that? Let's face it he's fascinating. And in the end Martha redeemed herself and walked away.

All this said though... I *love* the interaction the Doc has with Donna. She is the best companion ever for him *nods*

Well, the Classic, the Doctor was above all that, romantic, stuff. He had to keep objective, which this Doctor isn't, and didn't allow himself to be tied down. He cared deeply for the human race, or the underdog, but didn't get romantic. Russel has totally ruined it, for his own lovesick reasons, and it is clouding The Doctor's judgement in my opinion.
