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 understand the writer's probably wanted to update him and they gave him a sexuality as a way to do that, but it does annoy me that it seems to be referred to in every single episode. Dr Who isn't a romantic drama, but it sometimes feels like it's becoming that way.

Donna is just what the show needed. Get rid of the emo romance stuff! As much as I did like Rose, it upsets me that she seems to be coming back so soon. I think the Doctor is pretty good at closing down his emotions so I think he's best left in that unemotional state for a while so he can travel around the galaxy having a great time with his new best friend!

Yes, the romantic stuff is just getting in the way. The Doctor has to make the tough decisions, not clouded by emotion, but because he cares. So it is not my Doctor anymore with all the romantic, everyone in love, stuff!

I am just Old School I guess!
