Martha Jones - One Year On

Jul 13, 2008 08:16

Just a quick observation I made in a comment to someone elsewhere on my LJ, that I think is worth repeating here.

It's funny, a year later, to think that Martha actually got the best/happiest ending of the three new Who companions. She got to choose what to do - and chose to walk away from the Doctor (again), whereas Rose got dumped with Alt!Ten in Pete's World and told to "fix him", and Donna got mindwiped against her will...

Not that I see this as an indication that Russell T Davies likes Martha any better than the other two. I suspect he left her story open-ended like that in case the PTB wanted to bring her back into Torchwood (which is something a lot of people are assuming will happen), just as he apparently brought Jenny back to life at Moffat's request.
