That said, I think this makes a lot of sense. I see the Doctor as effortlessly able to love, but not necessarily able to love in the same way as a human (it's interesting that to me we see some of those same influences working on with Jack as he is portrayed in Torchwood. He, too, has an incredible capacity for love, even sexual love, but he's got the competing forces of immortality (like the Doctor) and the very human relationships of being part of a team shaping that ability).
And as usual, I love the way you mix the humor with the tragedy, which is spot on for the show. ‘A dog?’ Rose’s voice was effortfully neutral. Donna looked around for the exit. - this is such a great line.
