I liked "Coupling," too - and you made me laugh out loud with Gallifreyan Spank Inferno." Heh. And I'd forgotten (how? How??) that he introduced us to Jack. Bless him for that, since Jack may be one of my favorite dramatic creations.
"Blink" was tremendously entertaining if, as I've mentioned before, I don't gaze too long upon it. Definitely high quality writing.
I agree with you about serial monogamy and the Doctor. However, I'd amend that to say he loves each companion, even after he pushes them away. And while there are some who are his one-true erotic/maybe-erotic/could-be-erotic loves, there are others who are his one-true best friend, others who are both ... each love is strong, each love is different because of personality and each love is of a different type; Rose and Romana and Sarah Jane and Jack might have had the same type of connection with him; Ace and Jo might have had a relationship similar to that of Susan; Donna and Barbara might have been similar ... anyhow, I'm rambling now, I suppose.
