To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive

I'm all for seeing evidence that The Doctor Does Sex and various shippy bits on my screen

I guess my issue comes from the general obliviousness he displays most of the time. I mean, Nine saying that Rose looks beautiful at the beginning of "The Unquiet Dead" is really quite something, considering that Tegan tries to get a reaction from Five in "Enlightenment," but what she gets is basically "Huh. Now, about this party we have to go to..." And that's pretty typical of the classic series. It's kinda tough to see where sex enters into things at all when he doesn't even process that Tegan's actually wearing a dress for a change :)

I think it's also because I was watching them 20 years ago. That, and the part where every companion leaves eventually, and I just really don't need to see the one constant character hooking up with everything that sets foot in the TARDIS. (As tselmende puts it, you really don't want As the TARDIS Turns when you thought you were tuning in for Doctor Who (until *ahem* recently, this was an idea that the T&C types, especially, couldn't seem to wrap their heads around). It just ends up cheapening whatever companion/companion relationship you end up with later on, IMever-soHO.

Anyway, I will shut up about it now :)

And yeah, avoid the torch petition, 'cause....eeep.
