Wait, what? More on-show romance? I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH ALL THAT.

Hey...maybe her character'll be gay.

Hey....it could happen.

Dude...that's not Rule 34.....I'm pretty sure.

As a feminist, I would like to say that I want to set him on fucking fire right about now. Just fucking stop stop stop stop stop. Jesus FUCKING COCK!

I am loathe to point this out... but he has had several love interests. One must assume that, since he had a granddaughter, he had at least one child, which means at least some kind of non-platonic fling took place back on Gallifrey. Thought it wasn't explicit, I do feel some sort of romantic relationship with Romana was going on with Four. Eight was ten types of touchy-feely with Grace, and later admitted that he was in love with Charley Pollard before they parted ways. Nine/Ten WERE in love with Rose Tyler, so...

...I hope we can still be friends.

Seriously, though, I think the romantic element of the show has gotten out of hand. I liked that he rejected Martha, and I liked that Donna did not fall head over heels for him. The Rose Tyler thing was a beautiful fairytale, but I'm glad it's over.

With filming due to begin this summer, Gillan beat off dozens of hopefuls to land one of television's most coveted roles.

LOL forever.

But we have to have women on this here television show, and what other role would a woman play if not the hero's GIRLFRIEND?

...


rage.

When I saw the new Doctor I thought they were tapping into a sort of Jonas Brothers vibe with their choice, so maybe he'll wear a purity ring and nothing will happen.

Doctor/Tardis would be my OTP, except that I keep getting swayed in the direction of Doctor/Angst. (Which is mostly Five's fault, really.)

I'm sorry to laugh at your pain, but I can't help it.

You rock. That is all.

The only thing is, I REALLY want to see the plot where the hot young Doctor and his companion fall in love with each other, and then he regenerates into someone old and crusty and doesn't see why anything should change.

I read this originally as meaning something like "The doctor does not need love interests or people...."

When you put DOCTOR WHO in all caps, it makes the grammar look funky.

Amen.

I was just discussing how it would be much less demeaning to women to have a more Batman & Robin (not the movie, the concept. The platonic concept too, in both senses of the term) -style dynamic, as it places the companion in less of an 'opposite and foil' role and more of an apprentice one. It seems that with a lady companion, writers just fall into the whole "she's everything the doctor's not! Stupid, ruled by emotion, slow to react! Ha-haa!" trap far too often. I guess Martha's the closest to a real apprentice-style companion that there's been, which is cool at least, but... must it be so rare?
