Hmmm. Well, Madame de Pompadour - in spite of the *ridiculous* name - was, I felt, rather a good character, although...am I the only person who had the biggest "what the hell" moment ever when she snogged the Doctor? Seriously! You've met the guy twice and the first time you were seven...that is one screwed up childhood.
But you're right. I saw Doctor Who Confidential before the episode and they talked about how tragic it was that they were in love but it was doomed from the start...they...met three times...in what, for the Doctor, is your average day's work. I can understand the feeling of something that *might* be love in that kind of timeframe, but...just...what the hell? You don't give up your companions for that! They've been with you for...a long time (at least, Rose has) and she's an attractive, intelligent - but a) only one and b) *taken* woman...
(If he's that hung up on her why can't he nip the TARDIS into 17th century France for a few hours?)
