Holy crap!

Was lurking around a few threads on the OG, when I stumbled upon a recent - and rather unexpected post from Teh Moff.

(From here)

In response to a previous commenter's "Writer Steven Moffat has all but admitted that The Doctor & Rose were sexually active as of the 'Doctor Dances' episode"

Teh Moff:
"I say, no I didn't! The whole scene was about the fact they WEREN'T at it - indeed, it was the Doctor being slightly hurt that Rose hadn't even considered him in that light.

There's precious little evidence they ever got up to anything, I'd have said - that it doesn't stop it being a love story, of course (it clearly was) but unrequited surely?

Oh, it's all sex with you lot, isn't it? And when the writer of Coupling says you're banging on about sex too much, it's time to start listening.

Steven Moffat"

Did mine eyes just decieve me, or was the word "unrequited" just used to describe the Doctor/Rose relationship by someone in the know?

It gives me my very favourite batshipper hypocrisy: If they are saying that loving Rose romantically does not mean that Rose is any better than the other companions (whom he loved platonically), why do they think people saying he loves Rose platonically are saying she is her less important?

And the Doctor, like Jack, has a less culturally restrained view of love and sexuality. To the point where sex = commitment thing, yes, mightn't ever occur to him. And if it makes you a bad person, I'l see you in hell.

Don't you just love hypocricy? It's just amazing how people can twist things to suit them.

And yeah, ideas about love and sex tend to come at least partially from one's cultural context, so it totally makes sense that his perspective would be completely well, alien.

It's fun to pull people's arguments apart.

Yes, a certain alien aspect should be expected.
