Well i suppose that it depends on your definition of companion. To my thinking it's anyone who goes on a trip in the Tardis and helps on a mission. You have to consider, however, that there are people who seem to be companion-like but never get to ride on the Tardis (Harriet Jones, for example) and individuals that after a certain point come and go only on occasion (Captain Jack, Martha, the Brigadier w/Five only being in one episode arc). In City of Death Four and Romana pick up someone who actually travels in the Tardis with them a couple of times. Then there are characters like Vincent or Adam who get a trip but don't really seem all that helpful. Where do we draw the line between companion and not?
I'm not sure about Eleven and River getting it on yet. For a while i was thinking they weren't even a couple, that it was all merely flirting, but now i'm not so sure. River certainly seems to insinuate that a lot of it is going on (and kinky to boot), but the only Doctor that we've seen who actually knew who River is died almost immediately. It's very sad that they've seen each others' deaths (assuming the death sticks for either of them, lol).
