A special award

Can we give the Doctor the award for being the most insensitve/blindest Time Lord...ever?

I hope the answer is he still doesnt get it (about the fancu thing) - otherwise it would be really cruel. I must confess I kinda understood it that way...

I hope it's a significant line, perhaps he will recognise her value after her saving the world in the next episode ;-)...

It was significant for me! I reckon Ten will finally admit to her awesomeness next week . . . .

But it might be too late methinks.

If Martha had any sense she would go with Jack and have a fantastic shag and then they could invite the Doctor for a mind-blowing threesome and I really need to scrub my brain out with soap, don't I

[rhin_ariel]

Not really, as that image is pretty much what's in my brain right now. *Totally ignores the threesome plot bunnies*

Definitely. And they need to plan it for the Doctor to walk in and Get a Clue.

(Then again, I think that all the characters need to get going.)

I like the look Jack gave Martha when the Doctor was talking, before he said 'you too'. She's not the only one the Doctor doesn't notice in that way, and I'm still not convinced he felt anything more than friendship for Rose (but that's an opinion that's in the minority I know).

I think Martha would actually be surprised by how much what she has with the Doctor is like what Rose got from him. I think she thinks they were married or something.

[hydref]

Maybe once they've got rid of the Master, Jack might point out to the Doctor that he needs to talk to Martha, cos I'm pretty sure the Doctor doesn't have a clue. Umm, I feel a fanfic coming on, plot bunnies are busy working away ;-)

"Yo, Doctor, ur Martha has EMO PAIN"?

[nostalgia_lj]

That confuses me because he knows. We know he knows. So he'd never say that to her. Unless trying to hide his obvious lust for her.

[viala_qilarre]

Yes, you're right, it was a confusing line, come to think of it. Because burning hot subtext aside - the fact that they have been having UST all season, and the fact that Rose didn't get anything much different by way of concrete displays of affection - Martha actually told John Smith in words of one syllable that she loved the Doctor, and the Doctor retained all his memory of that time. This was like three weeks ago, our time.

Of course, the simple explanation is that the Doctor's a bit of a git.

[nostalgia_lj]

Unless there was some weird psychological reason it was just... actually probably into OOC territory because he's so casual about it and the Doctor's not that oblivious. He might think Jack just fancies everyone, but he knows Martha's got some deep hurt about the whole thing.

I was almost at the shouting at the telly stage at that point. Perhaps you could hand wave it away by saying he's so worried about the Master he's being even more gormless than usual about humans, but it still came across as rather gittish.
