I grew up with Tom Baker but he's only my second favorite, sorry. I prefer Jon Pertwee and was very saddened by his death.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the subject of the thread. I never gave the Doctor's orientation much thought, which is unsurprising since I'm asexual. I don't, however, think the fact that the Doctor fell in love with Rose is proof that he is no longer asexual. Love doesn't require sexual attraction, after all.Shades of Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544110924762194856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-56661756934898403542009-07-16T20:02:23.131-07:002009-07-16T20:02:23.131-07:00AFlyingPiglet:

I just don´t care for the new ones or even the 80s episodes, the Who story somehow ends for me when Tom Baker left 1981.<br /><br />The classic Doctor was indeed completely asexual, even between his male and female companions (someone remembers Zoe and Jamie from the 60s?) no sexual relationship existed. This was of course also because it was more or less considered as childrens program, but even the more adult and philosophical stories with Tom Baker always showed him as asexual. I liked that.<br /><br />BTW, I´m from Germany so fans of the classic Doctor exist even outside of the UK ;-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-7742873468711921042009-07-13T12:28:38.271-07:002009-07-13T12:28:38.271-07:00Sounds like all the different James Bonds!Sounds like all the different James Bonds!Ilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795337226989102549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-14140821457606972802009-07-13T11:53:27.176-07:002009-07-13T11:53:27.176-07:00I think the number of replies to this post says it...I think the number of replies to this post says it all!!!<br /><br />Yes, It is a police box - not a phone box - I did see a police box up in York recently (or was it Edinburgh??) Although I don't know if it was in working order or was just there for show?<br /><br />I do think David Tennant is dishy (speaking as someone who doesn't experience Sexual or Romantic Attraction but I do have an opinion as to what I find pleasing to the eye).<br /><br />However, for me the REAL Dr Who was Tom Baker. For every generation of Dr Who fans, there is the REAL Dr Who - normally the one they grew up with. There's about 12 months in age between me and David Tennant, and I am sure he considers Tom Baker to be his Dr Who too!AFlyingPigletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-62300744942447725122009-07-12T10:19:57.977-07:002009-07-12T10:19:57.977-07:00Someone said the Doctor is becoming increasingly &...Someone said the Doctor is becoming increasingly "hetero". I don't think that's true. He doesn't seem to have a romantic gender preference. Rose isn't sufficient to be able to tell.

I don't think that's fair. There are implications that he doesn't have a gender preference romantically.

He's my hero and I love him to pieces!!<br /><br />The Doctor is hard to explain... he's kinda asexual and also kind of celibate. In the recent episodes, he has fallen in love with one of his female companions. But he doesn't view sexual relationships as a high priority. Unfortunately, his flirtatious nature sends mixed signals to his companions.<br /><br />We also know that The Doctor is 900 years old and afraid of loving a human girl, because she would grow old and die in a short time span. The Doctor used to have a family; wife and children. But they died during The Great Time War. <br /><br />Overall, he's asexy because he prefers the heroic nomad life to a calm domesticated one.Janet S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06503472504687556817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-49794965488407001642009-07-09T17:28:01.437-07:002009-07-09T17:28:01.437-07:00Either your TV habits are radically different from...Either your TV habits are radically different from ours, which could be true, or the only reasonable option (in order to increase the public of the show) among listed is openly broadcasting delayed seasons of the show.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348364280072540390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223027726680052006.post-78859477254381886362009-07-09T15:03:28.315-07:002009-07-09T15:03:28.315-07:00Indeed...Here, we have BBC America on digital cabl...Indeed...Here, we have BBC America on digital cable, and a lot of public TV stations play BBC shows (although usually older shows).
