^^^ That joke is funny because you weren't being serious. Ha. Ha.
Relationship, not romance.
And I'm not one of those "he shouldn't shag" group members; I simply feel it doesn't work in this show.
I, on the other hand, think that the show works best when it is a romance. For a comparison... It's like Aladdin: the Doctor is Aladdin and Genie mixed in one, the companion is Jasmine, and the TARDIS is their magic carpet ride. It just works better if there's a romance involved. The emotional stakes are higher, and the dramatic tension between the desire for intimacy that comes with romance and the Doctor's obsessive need to hide so many important aspects of himself is brought front and center.
That, and, well, sci-fi TV is missing well-written romances. Not adventure stories with hints of romance. Not military sci-fi epics with romantic subplots. An honest-to-goodness romance set against the backdrop of a magical machine that lets them explore time and space.
Well, if you read that other thread about the Vampires of Venice script excerpt, you'll see that romance is now out of the question...

Thanks for the fucking spoiler warning.

Where's the spoiler there? I don't see one, or do you mean the episode title?
Yeah, but look at this way: you can enjoy it, knowing there's no possibility of another awful Doctor romance.... what the hell, dude?
Thanks for the fucking spoiler warning.

I didn't want to know the title, and I didn't want to know anything about the content -- including that "romance is now out of the question." Talking about it was just rude.

Interesting that the Doctor says "Trust me" in both trailers. I wonder if this will be a 'secondary catchphrase' in the same way, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." was.
Big Weird-looking Silurian Head is big and weird, though.
"Everywhere and anywhere, every star that ever was. Where do you want to start?"
That's some cool shit right there.
It's no, "Do you wanna come with me?"

Looks like he is actually, just look at the bolded bit below.

because trailers often contain spoilers to some extent?

Why on Earth would it be reasonable to expect spoilers in a discussion about a promotional trailer that doesn't have the word "spoilers" in its title?

Why on earth would it not be?
Yes it's a promotional trailer and not exactly the most revealing, but there are things contained with in it that some people may think are spoilers, if some one hadn't heard about the return of the Daleks or the Weeping Angels and they saw the trailer for the first time on Saturday on BBC One, that can surely be classed as a spoiler and may ruin the surprise of watching it on BBC One at around 19:00hrs on a Saturday evening.
And you'll notice I'm not complaining about the Daleks or the Weeping Angels -- I'm complaining that info never even alluded to in the trailer was spoiled.

Because it's a thread without the word "spoiler" in the title about promotional trailer released to the general public, not a thread with a title indicating that it will be discussing events in a specific episode that were not depicted in the trailer.
