Well, it didn't seem to be a romantic convention that you were familiar with, so I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you just aren't a romance-genre sort of person. My mom hates genre romance (I, on the other hand, am quite likely to read it in between my non-fiction stuff, to lighten everything up a bit).
I mean, if you are familiar with that convention, then I'm not sure why you'd use his anger in that moment as an argument against D/R being a romance. It just... doesn't make much sense to me.
Possibly our mutual confusion stems from the fact that you see DW as a love story and I see it as an adventure with romantic subtexts?
It could, if I saw Doctor Who as a love story. But I agree with you -- it's primarily an adventure story, with the love story mostly existing in grace notes and undertones, with the occasional more obvious exception.
