On that one, I don't think he needed a ref in his ep anyway? Cos it's too early time-wise.
Well, that's how they fanwanked it on the commentary, but he did admit that, yeah, no one told him about it.
He seems to get mostly left alone cos they trust him, I think. Gatiss as well, from the sounds of things.
There's trust and then there's not sharing the season arc. The first one can make sense, the second one confuses me.
How do you mean earned?
Sarah Jane is an established DW character -- she's someone that the Doctor knew already, so there was a reason already established for him to care about her. With Reinette, a connection was formed because of telepathy. It was a shortcut. It felt like a shortcut and so I couldn't buy the romance.
Sarah and Rose have both traveled with the Doctor and gotten to know him the hard way (along the slower path, as Reinette might say). Reinette just got to magically know, in one moment. The emotion didn't feel real to me, because it wasn't allowed to develop -- it was just there and we were supposed to accept that as good enough. Heck, I was more willing to buy Nine's connection with Lynda.
