Yes, I completely agree. I'd thought for a while that they would have started sleeping together after The Satan Pit, and then my friend pointed out to me that it might even have happened during The Impossible Planet, after the scene between the two of them when they realise they are trapped - they only have each other left and both are in need of comfort; I imagine that even if the crew didn't assume they were a couple they'd probably have had to put them in the same room anyway since they were losing bits of the base all the time and probably didn't have a lot of free space; and when she kisses him before he goes into the pit, she doesn't hesitate, neither does he act surprised. I know she didn't exactly snog him senseless or anything, but like the chewing gum thing, it's an intimate gesture that implies more than just friendship.
Hmm, I actually read a fanfic about that. And, I also thought of putting in the bit about her kissing his helmet, but decided not to. Same reason for not including him flashing back to her in his arms in TRB as I stated above: I *thought* of adding that, but felt it was even too ambiguous for me. See? I tried to be somewhat rational and logical about it all, LOL!
If the "We were together" does not mean what everyone would immediately interpret it as meaning anywhere other than on a family show, then the phrasing was really weird.
Exactly. Any other show and the obvious assumption would simply be ... they were shagging.
Martha doesn't need to be told that they were together as in "In the TARDIS at the same time". RTD knows full well what "together" implies, and I don't think he'd have put it in if he wasn't hinting at that at least a little.
YUPPERS!!!
The clincher, though, was Rose's reaction to Donna's unfinished question in Turn Left. If they weren't together, she'd surely have just brushed it off with "No, we were just friends".
YES! I remember being SHOCKED! by that when I watched it the first time and then I rewatched "Doomsday" a few days later and that's when I first really began to question the not-shagging belief of Tennant.
Plus I believe they were flirting really quite overtly in Fear Her, even without that moment with the gum - which is one of my favourite moments ever despite being pretty disgusting.
Yeah, lame episode, I think ... but the Doctor/Rose moments are GOLDEN!
