You're right.
for 2 people, I think that 2 seats next to each other are much better : you won't have to share the leg room. And in 2nd class, the seats that are face to face go by 4, so you might have some people next to you.
We will be sitting across from each other at a table because that was the only way to guarantee that at least one seat will be facing forward. Sitting backwards no matter how smooth the Thalys train purports to be is something I wanted to avoid. Hopefully there will still be good leg room! If not, we can always walk around for a bit.
