Nos's fears linger in the brane, don't they? Cos she speaks TRUTHS.
I see where you're coming from. But I think part of the reason why they went for a Doctor/Companion shippy thing was because I suspect 'they' reckon you can't make TV without any kind of romance in it at all. Andrew Davies was going on a while back about how all TV really came down to sex, sooner or later - and if you missed out the sex, no one would watch. You could argue that old-school Who was an example of successfully not mentioning the sex - but then given the whole 'for the dads' business of the girlie companions in the little frocks, there's been sex in Who since forever, really: just left to its own devices a bit more than now.
The family thing would fulfil the whole required 'I could save the world but lose you' thing without making us all shoot ourselves, mind. And would restore Ten to being 'nice if daffy uncle/grandad' as opposed to 'man-whore/pervert'.
Actually, in the course of writing this comment I've decided you're a genius. Seems to me they've been seeding the half-human thing through this season. And everyone's meant to be visited by the dead in the last two. What if the Doctor is too?
