Finally saw Doctor Who! Liked the first two episodes well enough, but... not that bothered. This one? Oh yeah! That's the show I love. :) And ASH was *so* good! ::takes hat off::

*sigh* I'm such a shipper.... although I think it's desperately unfair that Buffy takes so much flak for one little kiss, when Rose strings both of her fellas along with no problems.

Oldskool Whovians were appalled when RTD resurrected Doctor Who and both he and Chris went on record to declare that the relationship between the Doctor and his companion Rose could be characterised 'love'. The show originated in the 60s when the Doctor was an older, superior being and more of a teacher of mankind rather than a friend, and sex/shipping really didn't come into it. Fans were convinced that the Doctor was completely asexual, in spite of the fact that his first companion was supposedly his granddaughter...There was an uproar when the Eighth Doctor kissed his female helper in the 1996 TV-movie, and the idea that the Doctor could ever fall for one of his companions was anathema to a lot of people.

Of course, there were certain rules that Time Lords were supposed to live by (non-interference being the most important, like Startrek's Prime Directive), but the Doctor has always been a bit of a rebel, and now that he's the last of his kind as well, who's to say he might not form a romantic attachment to a human at last? After all, he's half-human himself, or so the Master discovered in the Doctor Who-movie...

Ah! Light dawns! I missed out on oldskool Who. I mean I knew it existed, but my family didn't have television when i was growing up so my who knowledge is primarily from a friend who's folks allowed him to watch TV... Thanks so much for filling the blanks!
