CzechOut, thank you so much for your detailed answer (thanks to Shambala too, of course) and your "essay".

You underlined my point: if the Doctor keeps memory of these encounters... goodbye to freewill in choosing companions, goodbye to an actual surprise when he sees his new faces, and so on. What a pity such a topic was never properly addressed and/or prevented (so easily, after the "Jamie&Zoe treatment").
