The never-ending appeal of the Doctor and Rose
... "in the grip of love"???? XD
I love how they are still being shipped.
Even though it's vicariously via Tennant and Piper, who are not in the same episode, and have not even been onscreen together in 4 years.
Even though this veers perilously close to RPF.
And even though this is REALLY not the best picture of Tennant.
The fact that they are still recognizeable enough as a pairing for Moffat to repeatedly mention the ship even today, and for the BBC to have its special True Love advertised as such even 4 years after their last on-screen appearance together, I think pretty much cements them as the OTP-of-all-OTPs.
Tl;dr - other pairings may come and go, and you can paint it anyway you want, but for this pairing to still be advertised as such YEARS after the fact pretty much speaks volumes. Often imitated, never replicated <3
