Sarah Palin amuses me more than she should. What an... interesting character.

Also that plant is really sad, I wonder wtf happened to it. It's definitely on its deathbed.

The Shakespeare Code is all kinds of awesome, not gonna lie. And Martha is cool, despite the apparent number of hatas she gathered back when season 3 first aired. (Apparently, anyway, it's not like i was around to witness it.)

And yeah Donna definitely returns to KICK ASS.

Why do people hate Martha?

Yes, I'm getting a very positive Donna vibe from the fandom in general, that's why I assumed she would come back....despite fandoms' love of latching onto obscure characters, no one gets that much attention from only having one episode.

I think most people hated Martha because she was 'replacing' Rose and fandom is immature that way. I don't know how far you are into the series so I don't want to like, list what most people figured were her common flaws at risk of spoiling you or whatever, but ...yeah. I will admit she's my least favourite, but she's still pretty kickass, most of the time.

Donna is like... the universally liked companion, probably the most popular in the fandom. People tend to lik Rose and hate Martha or vice-versa, but pretty much everyoe loves Donna regardless.

Well, if it was all "And then the Doctor and Rose lived happily ever after, the end" it wouldn't be a very good show. Someone had to replace her. Granted I'm only 2 episodes into the Season, so I could change my mind...

Yeah. Plus that's jsut the nature of the show -- companions always leave and he always finds new ones, that's been happening for like, forty years, it's not gonna stop now.

I dunno. There's an aspect of Martha that does grate on my nerves, and it becomes more noticable as the season goes on so I'll stay quiet, but she's still quite clever and likeable and funny, so the anger is pretty misplaced. Mostly I think people just missed Billie Piper though.
