Of course, my denial over the whole dark Seven thing is just my soft emotions... I'd have to abandon him if he were really that bad (and he may be - the audios are now officially creeping me out a bit. Except love The Settling) and I can't abandon *my* Doctor. Or Ace. :lol:
I'm glad you didn't really mean that affection thing - and, yes, there's definitely a special relationship there with not many (Or any) other equivalents in other shows I can think of. I think one of the things I liked about last week's episode was it kind of showed that magic Doctor-companion thing (or started to) instead of just telling us. (And it also made me think that my allergy to have 80s Doctors/Romana ships is because of this: that relationship is special, no matter who's the companion - although more so with some than others - and *that's* the important relationship the viewer is buying into, never mind what you see it as, and anything less starts getting as annoying as Ten pining for Rose when he's got Martha or Donna or whoever. That's why it makes me want to slap people and throw things, I realise. It's a case of 'love the one you're with!' :lol: Does that count as almost me having a theory or an opinion for once?)
Heh. No, Seven isn't especially shippy, but I quite like the idea of him connecting with other broken-hearted sorts, whether shippily or not, like with Ray. (Hence him getting Charlotte Bronte in that fic - and also why I very much like the idea of Seven/Beatric Potter that you proposed... Erm... How did THAT happen, then? :lol:)
Well, it's not exactly a cold, distant, not-at-all close relationship, is it? And the first time he's a bit better looking, she throws herself at him. :lol: I may sometimes go on about how scarred I am by the NAs (it's only a bit true, I did enjoy the majority of them!) but I love Benny and Seven, and the way she seems to pop that propaganda bubble of angst and all-powerfulness that he's trying to set up, nor will she stand for being manipulated if she can do anything about it.
