"I was a dad once." *watches the asexualists go boom*
You do realize that I'm a dyed-in-the-wool old-school no-hanky-panky-in-the-TARDIS girl, right? And that this comment's got to be a throwback to Susan, even though she was supposed to be his granddaughter. I don't see how the being a Dad/Doc-is-asexual ideas are mutually exclusive, really, considering the longevity of the character and how different regenerations have different personalities. One being a grandfather doesn't mean Two-Ten have any interest whatsoever (though it also doesn't necessarily mean they don't).
Frankly, I don't really care what these characters are up to in that regard as long as it isn't canon and therefore I don't have to see it on my TV screen. :)
I find it interesting that you saw the crowd disappearing so early on--I was convinced, what with there being so many shots of him, that it was going to be the guy with the torch. And the moment with the Doctor lighting the torch is the only one where my willing suspension of disbelief said "Huh??" Big agreement on the lack of smuggery, which I think is why I liked this ep so much, in addition to Rose kicking ass.
