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*

I didn't particularly see The Dcotor as asexual but his sexuality (or lack of) was never a big thing for me. In my opinion, there's always been love between The Doctor and his companions, just not romantic love.

Yes, he has always cared for his companions, and in a paternal way, loved them. Of course that was before political correctness I guess. But this play on "romantic" relationships is starting to annoy me, and takes him a way from the Dr Who I know.
