Ohoho, to explain why both the way the Doctor was acting re: That Scene all through this episode, including especially the cake bit at the beginning, and also why Ten's obnoxiously flippant remark about how Queen Elizabeth I will have to change her nickname now at the beginning of "The End of Time" rubbed me SO hard the wrong way?
From an e-mail sent in to the 16th episode of "The Doctor Who Podcast":
"I'd always had the happy belief that the Doctor was not a man who would kiss and tell. I had this strange belief that he was mature, wise, and gentle. Now here he is pulling a gag, (couldn't hear it)ing himself up in this adolescent, 'She kissed me not you!' type of way, and not only humiliating his companion by revealing her private mistake to everyone, but humiliating an innocent young man by telling him something like that in front of his whole town. This is not the Doctor. The Doctor may be heedless and oblivious at times, but he'd not hurt someone like that."
THIS. SO MUCH. He summed up everything that I feel about it, without resorting to the screamed all-caps swear words and underlines every fifth word I would've resorted to. Or rather, already did.
