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*

It would depend how long DT lasts as The Doctor I supose, and she would have to come back fairly quickly. She is not a companion, as The Doctor seems to just visit her. So cannot see her in future episodes at all to be honest. Think it will all be off camera!

I think so too. It's a case of one day in the far distant future the Doctor will meet this woman, fall in love with her and tell her his real name.

Blimey! Now I think of it, Moffatt's made it pretty much impossible for any other relationship to ever top it, which must be making the Doctor/Rose 'shippers absolutely furious.

And it's already been established that there's nothing scarier than a disappointed 'shipper.

Oh yes, I think that Buffy!Verse fans know only to well how bitter disappointed shippers can be!

I, on the other hand, am delighted that Rose is not the One Big Love for The Doctor.
