Aww, thanks! I'd be more than willing to do some holding hands-and-blushing type pictures with you... maybe not as good as a print, but good enough, yes? (If I manage to get the costume right, that is. I knew I should have done the haircut at home... the lady at the barber's made it too goddamn short. And I have no sideburns.)
@Serika: I do agree that the 'let's make flawed characters so the audience will identify with them!' companion concept should have died with Adric. I mean, bringing in Adam in the first season as a very quiet shout-out to Adric was reasonably acceptable, and ATMOS boy in season four was pushing it - but the incessant building on the trope (Rose being 'Adric for girls with issues!' and Martha being 'Adric for fangirls!') got very old, very fast.
It's why I loved Donna so much - because the authors made very certain, right off the bat, that people would be reasonably unlikely to slash her with the Doctor.
This is, however, me speaking critically... honestly, I'm one of those rarities who thinks all of the companions are equally fantastic. The 'everyday people learning to live a better life' story never gets old, even if 'the Doctor getting his heart broken by someone one-fortieth his age' story does.
No, really. Just... stop it, already. Please.
Sorry about the essay. They're a bad habit of mine. =)
