Word to pretty much all of that. As a genficcer, to whom (despite my newbie status) this show is All About The Doctor, this particular divide alone has been mainly responsible for me avoiding the generalized Who fandom.

Rose may have come closest, but I just can't 'ship the Doctor. *shrug* I realize this is an unpopular theory! :-)

To me, one of the keystones of the Doctor is that he's a wanderer in every way. Even his heart never settles for long. While he and Rose might have been happy for a time, in the context of his life, even that would've been momentary. So I'm more on your side than not.

What a LOVELY way to put it. Yes, the eternal wanderer. *glee*
