Blink
All of time and space he promised me, and he's got me working in a shop!
Martha Jones
Okay, so they were hardly in this ep. But still, lots to talk about methinks!
Favourite moment?

I believe that it was all part of the transcript and that she's just playing along.

LOL!! Oh most inapt sponsorship!!
This ep is great fun--love watching it--but my favorite business is thinking about it in the context of Moff's other eps and the constant charge that he deliberately un-ships the Doctor/companion. By most logic I see on teh internets, the scenario should separate the Doctor and Martha, and he (and she) should have a significant interaction with a different companion/potential "love" interest (Nancy/Jack [although I think the Nancy thing is more of a stretch than the "real" threat posed by Jack wrt Rose], Reinette/slightly Mickey, River/Lee ( ... )

I entirely agree with you about Doctor/Martha in that Moff's story doesn't maintain THAT unrequited love scenario. I wasn't clear in my original post. What I meant was that it continues the developing theme of unrequited or thwarted love that mildly plays through the series (Shakespeare/Martha, Tallulah/Lazlo, Riley/Martha and that married couple in 42, John/Joan, and then the big one that's to come...), without making it either an overwhelming bit of the plot or tacking it on to Doctor/Martha.
So thanks, Moff, for making them hang together without the magic box to whisk them away from their issues.

Ah, no, you weren't clear...

It's interesting that in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, the Doctor's appalled at the idea of living in a proper house, and yet by the time of Blink he's apparently quite cheerful about it - which is why I think my fanon's not wholly impossible...
