Fannish update

For a summer that wasn't going to include much travel, I sure did travel a lot. June: four days of camping, then two weeks of travel, including Niagara Falls, Quebec City and Pennsylvania. July: a week-long teaching conference (within my state, but at a touristy destination), visits with the family and an old high school friend... I haven't been ( Read more... )

I'm onto season four of Doctor Who, but Martha might be my favorite companion even though season three wasn't my favorite season. It's strange, but she's awesome! I just love a smart woman.

I can see why they keep giving the Doctor companions--their enthusiasm gets to mirror my own for space travel.

And yes, Martha is great even when season three isn't...

I watched an ep with Martha and... she just didn't click with me. I don't know. Maybe I can't watch Who without Rose? I have no idea. I enjoy Donna. But maybe I just don't like the Doc so much without Rose... Ten and I have a complicated relationship. Hee.

I don't think the actress who plays Martha (who was great in the season 2 finale) is quite as skilled as the rest of the cast, nor is the writing strong enough to make up for her performance. Like so many shows, really excellent acting can make up for the bad writing in so many ways (yes, BSG, I'm looking at you), and I don't think the actress who plays Martha can pull it off.

*sigh* I get that. Since I either have to deal with Ten or stop watching, I deal. Rose was originally written as a foil for Nine, so I think Martha actually works better as a foil for Ten. Sometimes with Rose and Ten I worried that all that giddy energy was going to bounce out of my TV screen. (Okay, not really, but hopefully you see what I mean.)

Lyssie's reaction to Martha: "She's hot! And thinks! And has a tattoo!"

And is awesome. Despite me not having a Martha icon. Woe.

The PLaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I am excited for exactly the reasons you are.

She's smart and not a pushover! I like her!

I only have two icon slots left right now... and I haven't found a Martha icon I like yet. (I finally had to make my own Mickey icon; I gave up in exasperation. Not that this icon is super, but at least it's Mickey and NO ONE ELSE. All I could find when I looked was Mickey plus someone else. And there were hardly any of these, either.)

The Plan! Wheee!
