I really should give up Confidential because it generally annoys me, but I keep being sucked in by David Tennant's Paisley accent. Perhaps if I press mute whenever Rusty comes on?



If you didn't have Rusty banging on in Confidential that Rose was the Doctor's TRU LUV, and Martha's LUV is unfortunately unrequited, my natural conclusion would be that Ten loves them both, but isn't in love with either of them (Nine is a different matter). But then Martha said in Family of Blood that it's unrequited, which leads me to think that the Doctor is just a big tease and is still asexual after all.

I don't understand what excuse the Doctor has for still not requiting, because you know by this stage he'd go 'Rose? Oh, yeah, Rose.' Going by what's actually in the episodes, he's been treating Martha pretty much the same as Rose for about 4 weeks now.

Rusty's saying there'll be a payoff for the unrequited luurve in the finale. But apparently the Doctor is not allowed to love requitedly except Rose, what so does that mean for Martha's future? That Martha stops being in love with him, or that she leaves in some way?

I'm getting tired of everyone being in love with the Doctor. It would have been so good if Martha had never been in love with him in the first place.

Doctor: BUT ALL HUMAN WOMANZ FALLZ IN LUV WIT MEE!

Martha: WTF BBQ HUBRIS? I B SNOGGIN GUEST STARZ NAO KTHANXBAI.

Doctor: I SULKZ NAO.



I am trying carefully to have no expectations of Blink, beyond "At least it's the Moff" and, "It can't be worse than Love and Monsters. I do like Martha's jacket, however (check the BBC site).

there were a lot of 'ten' examples in there as well. i think with martha we are defining what was different and special about the rose/doctor relationship. Look at the conversation in school reunion- its because he loves her he tries to push her away like sarah jane. He doesn't want to see her whither and die.From then on he tries multiple times to say 'i love you'. I think if he was in love with martha he would know to say what he feels before he loses that chance again.

Or he could have used the chameleon arch and they could have withered and died together. Even when she's with him he's still the lonely god, she isn't enough even when she's saying she'll never leave him.

Multiple times? Apart from the Time Lord Lose Track of Time there's the 'oh, she knows' which could have been 'have a fantastic life' or 'I'm so sorry' or, knowing Ten, some complete random babble if he'd actually said it.
