A tally of A/G's increasing interaction over the past three series

[dfriendly]

Ever since we got not 1, but 2 (and almost 3!) kisses in 3x10, I’ve been thinking about the progression they’ve made with Arthur and Gwen’s relationship in the three series so far. Considering I’m used to relationships on TV shows where they spin their wheels and make painfully slow progress, I am both surprised and pleased at the steady amping up of A/G. Because even when they have their setbacks, the ship has overall been moving forward at a good pace. Just look at kiss counts! XD

*Minimal interaction = meaningful eye contact (ex: 1x04, 2x03) or physical contact (ex: 2x11). Or one arresting the other, lol.
**Significant interaction = Talking, kissing, etc.
***Excludes instances of kissing, which is counted separately. However physical contact leading up to [almost] kissing (ex: 2x02 token taking, 3x10 arm grabbing) and in addition to the kissing (ex: 3x10 hand on chest) still counted. Admittedly, I might have been generous on some of them.
****Final counts for series 3 are still pending; includes what we know from 3x13 trailer and spoilers.
`The .5 of a discussion was in 2x10 with Arthur enchanted, where Gwen thought they were talking about them, but he was talking about Vivian.
