DWC

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).

I generally spend a lot of DWC time fast-forwarding to the relevant bits (i.e., the ones where David Tennant or one of the directors has something intelligent to say). This whole Martha's insta-smit with The Doctor has just bugged the piss out of me all series long, and there had better be a bloody good external explanation for it, 'cos I just don't buy it. I could understand a 19-year-old shop assistant going all starry-eyed in about 2.1 seconds, but a flipping medical student with a good and pretty fulfilling life, aside from her parental melodrama? No.

She tapes his passionate reunion with Captain Jack and sells a copy to Mr Saxon?

Martha and Jack shall gang up on the Doctor, who has been an arse to them both. The Doctor will learn a valuable lesson and stop being an arse to people.
Oh, look, a flying pig.

I disagree that martha and rose have been treated the same. Yet they are both getting the friendly moments but there is no gratuitous hand holding i can think of so far, no 'i could save the world but lose you'or 'there is no power on this earth that can stop me', no 'i'm so glad i met you', and remember last series the doctor came close to saying i love you, what 4 times? Martha is getting her friendly hugs and smiles but nothing really romantic like rose got.

The thing that really worries me is that one of Russell's personal heroes is Joss Whedon, a man with a nasty rep for killing off popular characters just to emotionally screw over his audience. Russell loved Rose, but Martha? Given the "debunked" rumors earlier about Freema leaving the show, I'm wondering if Martha's gonna survive S3.

Got here from new_who. Rusty sounds like somebody else I know. Take it from a Buffy fan, for the sake of your own sanity, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

"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."

Yes! Seeing Martha make her cow eyes at The Doctor - it's just painful and gets in the way of the plot, IMO.
