Rose, Donna and Martha

[tari_roo]

So Season 2 is done, there's been a runaway bride that isn't Julia Roberts (but still had red hair) and now a medical feisty Martha.

My thoughts...



I wasn't sad to see Rose (and her family) go but I was kinda touched by the whole scene and the Doctor's emotions about it all. Rose certainly added life and spark to the Doctor and as much as she annoyed me, I think I agree with iyalode's sentiments about her being good for him.

But Donna (Catherine Tate) just cracked me up no end. I really really wanted her to stay with the Doctor. Her humour and thickness about some things was just... wonderful! The whole story for Runaway Bride was fantastic and I liked the parallel's to Amy in season five. Red headed brides obviously made an impression on Ten :)

I hope Donna appears again! (Don't spoil me if she does)

And now Martha. One episode of season three in and I already like her more than Rose. Quick, witty, intelligent and well... kinda wonderful (and this after just one episode).

I look forward to more Martha.

I am restraining myself from watching more season 5 as I don't want to get the sequence any more confused than I already have.



And I still find the Daleks utterly ridiculous. How can anyone take them seriously when they have no discernable ability to open a can of soda without blowing it up? Sure, sure, they got weapons and a giant sucker, but really? no thumbs, no fingers, no ... I give up.

... could I maybe lure you over to Torchwood by telling you that Martha also did a few guest spots? No? Well, can't blame a girl for trying ;)

If I had to choose, I also would say that Donna is my favourite companion, but I think some of the best DW episodes happened with Martha.

season 4 completely and utterly sealed Donna as my fav Ten companion ;)

I loved Martha and that she got her own peace and love - Mickey. But Donna, gah, Donna. So damn awesome.

alas, Martha on TW is not sufficient temptation just yet. Donna? Maybe! :)

I am not sure why Martha needed to be hooked up with Mickey. That came a bit out of nowhere, without any backstory. What happened to this cute Doctor she fancied? Wasn't that a better match for her?

And yes, I totally like the scene where she tells the Doctor, that she is leaving. Guess that does not happen very often to him!

If you want to see David and Catherine play together again, go here and download "Much ado about nothing": http://www.digitaltheatre.com/production/details/much-ado-about-nothing-tennant-tate/

It's what I saw live in theatre (twice!) and it's wonderful, all the banter between them. I am so glad it got filmed!
