Yeah, I know you do. I really liked how they explored it in S9. They went somewhere - not where we may have wanted them to go, but they did. However, another series of it would certainly wear even on me. I would like it to go from the Will they/Won't they scenario to an Are they/Aren't they scenario. I like the idea of them being together but without any fanfair at all so we, the viewers, are left to collate and analyze the information.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! This shouldn't make me laugh so hard, but it did!

If I'm honest though, that would have felt too familiar to me, in both an Adam and Ros kind of way. Execution: Helen, Danny and Colin. Shot: Jo and Fiona. Torture: Zaf. Decommissioned: Tom and Tessa. Gone underground: Ruth and Zoe. Retired: Malcolm. Transferred: Sam. What's left but suicide? I thought it interesting (up until the "Lucas. North. Is dead." line) that the singularly most heroic of them all was the one who wasn't in the end.

But it would make for a completely fun and FUBAR Dr. Who crossover episode, don't you think? Maybe Matt Smith regenerates into Lucas North? But I digress....
