Heh. I am possibly the least shippy person on the planet (I think I'm missing the gene), but there were so many moments between Ten and Martha that were SO GOOD to me - which is why I spent so much time writing meta about the two of them in my "martha jones" tag, about how Ten was falling apart and how he could trust Martha to hold him up; how she could be the doctor that *he* needed. And yet there's also the way that he just *forgets* that she has emotions, too, and really doesn't treat her at all well. I never really got back on his side after that, because as cute as he and Donna were together, I couldn't really forgive him for treating Martha the way he did and then offering Donna such easy support and closeness.

I love Eleven and Craig! I'm just so giddily pleased by their buddy comedy whenever they get together. And at the same time, even in the comedy of "The Lodger," the show lets us see that Eleven *can* be thoughtless and hurtful - he doesn't *mean* to steal all the glory from Craig, he's just having a fun time pretending to be a human, but we can see that Craig does still get hurt. I feel like the Ten era was constantly expecting me to care more about the fact that Ten was hurting, and not care about the fact that he hurt people; I feel like the balance is better with Eleven - he can break my heart into tiny pieces, but the show also lets us see when he's going off the rails or doing something questionable.
