Oh yeah, I've come to ship Liz/Brig as well; they're so right for each other; you can see them smouldering at each other across the test tubes. XD
It didn't last, of course, but that doesn't mean they didn't have a hot affair while it lasted. Have your read this?
The crowning stupidity was that officer threatening to shoot the poor scientist in Planet of the Dead - if the Brig had been there, he'd probably have shot _her_!
That moment could pretty much prove your theory.;)
Torchwood the show...well, I guess that at its worst (and it is at its worst quite a lot of the time!) it's like bad fanfic written by a twelve year old Doctor Who fan who likes guns and has just found out about sex, and who thinks swearing makes you sound big and clever *considers amount of guns and swearing in own fanfic and feels like a hypocrite*. But it really does have its moments, and the oldy-timey Torchwood people who appeared all-too-briefly in Season 2 were kind of loveable, in their way.
Guns and swearing can be done well; only in Torchwood it's a bit like kids with toys. Or so I heard.
I think S17 isn't to everyone's taste; I mean, it has problems, doesn't it, and some people think it's a bit too comedic, a bit silly. That said, I love it to bits, I think it's really fun and has lots of great character and dialogue stuff, and some really good stories if you look past the cheapness and the sometimes dodgy acting. And I think Romana's just great in both incarnations. That the Doctor and, at least, Romana II were involved is firmly embedded in my fanon now (in fact it may be canon - as you say, there is a lot of onscreen evidence for it).
I kind of wish people weren't so quick to judge it. ''Destiny of the Daleks'' totally has summary executions of slave labourers! Still, it's quite possible that I wouldn't enjoy it as much if it weren't for the Baker/Ward chemistry and my own batshit. My ideal would've been a Four/Romana season with the storytelling of S18 and the charm and humour of S17.

OMG, I want more Four/Romana!
