Who meme day 16 - Heya Martha

[fogsblue]

It occurs to me, that reaching day 16 means I have past the half way mark. Go me, I wasn't sure I'd make it this far.

Onwards! Day 16 – Fave Martha Moment. Hmm, I do like Martha, though I admit at first I just missed Rose, but once I got over that Martha grew on me.



Because it may not be the winning moment, but it is a great way for the main part of Martha's story to wrap up.

There is this one short scene in Human Nature that I find great on so many levels, it's literally so short, but it sticks out in my mind.



Joan: Excuse me, Martha. It's hardly good form to enter a master's study without knocking. 
Martha: Sorry, right, yeah. (she runs back to the door and knocks it before returning) But is he alright?  

This moment right here. It shows Martha's concern for the Doctor even when he's acting a bit like an idiot as a human (yes, I love Martha's line of 'You're rubbish as a human' a lot). It also shows despite the circumstances she has had to live with for 2 months (?) at this stage she still has the strength and audacity to be bloody cheeky.

Martha is so sassy and awesome and badass in that two-parter! ♥

I do love Martha when she's being sassy, she does it so well :D

[kilodalton]

ITA - she handled herself marvelously well!

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

She did!! I love that she didn't let any of it get her down for long.

Oh, Martha. Just because I love Rose doesn't mean I can't love you too. *draws hearts around Martha*

I think you're allowed to love as many Doctors and companions as you like or I certainly hope so anyway :)

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

Not according to most people on tumblr, but I agree. :D

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

Well that's true, not just tumblr. Fandom in general seems to think you must love only one Doctor and one companion. Where's the fun in that, really?

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

No fun at all. PARTY IN THE TARDIS AND EVERYONE'S INVITED! Except Moffat.

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

WOOOO! Party!


But no, no Moffat (actually, is it bad if I'd rather we didn't invite River either? She kind of creeps me out a little)

LOL Dancing Nine, you are wonderful.

She's still in prison for the crime she didn't commit, so I don't think she can make it anyway.

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

I love dancing Nine, I want one, I'll even accept a mini one ;)

And aww, that's a shame really. I know I should care about the wrongly imprisoned. But in this case. I don't. My bad.

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

A pocket Doctor would be handy, wouldn't it? You could carry him around with you wherever you go and he could dance for your amusement.

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

Could put him on the dash of my car, that way when I get stuck in traffic I have amusement. Could make a range of them, I'm sure people would love mini dancin' Doctors.

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

I SMELL A CASH COW!

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!
Now if only we knew someone who could make mini Doctors :(

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

Alas, you've identified the fatal flaw in our plan. :(

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

And it was an otherwise brilliant plan too :(

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

WE COULDA BEEN CONTENDERS. :(

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

NOOOO, NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO??

(Ok, I may actually sleep now, head is starting to complain louder)

[phoenixrising06.livejournal.com]

(Sleep well!)

[fogsblue.livejournal.com]

(Thanks, have a good day) :)

dear dear Martha. She is so under rated as a companion and I blame the writers a bit because they could have given her more to work with. Like Russell T David did for her in Torchwood.

Still in Human Nature/Family of Blood I thought she was wonderful.

She shone beautifully of course in The Last of the Time Lords but its a pity it took so long to see what she was really made of. Didn't help that poor Martha got the short stick of being the Doctors companion after losing Rose either.

I do love Martha and I think I was happy when she fell in love with Tom Milligan. And I guess with Mickey too in the End of Time.

While she falls inline behind Rose and Donna, Martha is still up there with the best of the companions.

I know what you mean. I understand what RTD was doing in the sense he was giving us the other side of the love story. The Doctor can't love everyone the way he loved Rose. But sometimes it seems like he forgot to tell any other part of Martha's story.

But she was an amazing companion really. And like Rose and Donna had some moments where she just (to steal your term) shone :)
