Yup, Ace *rocks*. My favorite companion ever. (And her Doctor, the 7th, is still my favorite Doc...they're like two of my best friends. *g*)
That is indeed celery. It was a thing. Eventually sort of explained. Sort of.
Can't comment on Merry!Six, but I'm amused.
And yeah, the Loom thing? I'm not a fan. The books took the series in some directions that really didn't work for me, for various reasons. And the Loom thing seemed to be based around the idea that "OMG, the Doctor MUST be asexual, Time Lords can't be interested in hanky panky!"...the same stories that dealt heavily with the Looms tried to explain away the Doctor's granddaughter as adopted. I'm very much in the other part of the fandom...I believe the Doctor had a wife at one time, and a child, leading logically to that granddaughter. (I've got a whole saga in my head about the Doctor's tragic past...) I not only love the Doctor/Rose ship, I was even a fan of the often-maligned Doctor/Grace ship in the 8th Doctor movie...
So yeah.
Bottom line with Who-dom...and with any canon, really, I'd say...take the bits you enjoy, ignore everything else, and have fun with the ride!
Also, if a second opinion would help your temporal conundrum, I love that sort of thing, so I'd be happy to help. :?)
