Martha Jones - One Year On

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

Cut in case people haven't seen Journey's End... )

Consisting Martha always gets the short end of the slick I'm very happy with her ending. She choose to leave the Doctor again, with a smile on her face and friend(s) at her side. I wish the ohters had had not so horrible endings but I'm very glad after all the crap she gone through they left her (mostly) alone. I mean her last time on board the TARDIS she ended up walking alone, watching her companion die and took a huge emotional beating. She always get kicked on the teeth on Doctor Who so I'm happy she was left alone.

I don't think RTD likes Martha better (that thought has never entered my mind at any point of Martha's time on the show. I think he's is because he can't touch her or mess her up too badly because she going to Torchwood.

I've never believed RTD likes Martha that much, because he's never done anything to show me he does. With him it's All About Rose!

I'm SO glad Martha got to walk away - and that she walked away with an old friend - Jack - and a potential new friend - Mickey - was even better... She was in the best place for her...

He never done a thing to show me he does either. It's always been Rose for him. He only created Martha because he couldn't keep Rose (Billie around). It's pretty apparent when two series after she gone he's still bring her up and having her over shadowing the new companions. *shakes head*

I really was the best place For Martha and much to my delight no meaning of running off to check on her beloved husband to be.

I know. I feel bad for Donna, that so much of her season was about other companions (much as I love Martha!)

The fact that she walked off hand-in-hand with Jack made me ridiculously happy!

So do I, her time as shadowed by other companions whic won't have been a problem if she had been on the show longer.

It did me too. Least Jack has always seen how wonderful Martha is and not been afraid to show it. I think Martha and Mickey could be very good friends, fro starters they both know feeling of being second to Rose in the Doctor's life and being what it feels like to be treated like crap by him. I really want to ship the two of them
