eighth doctor adventures (1997-2005)

[nat-20s]

Tenth Doctor's gender with Rose: Alison bechdel gender

Tenth Doctor's gender with Martha: wretched little man

Tenth Doctor's gender with Donna: pronouns are the/bit

honestly the Doctor should be so grateful Martha is even still around in Utopia, considering in the last story she spent months working in a shop in the 60s, and the one immediately before THAT she spent months being his maid in the 1910s. I'm surprised she didn't just walk out the second they landed in modern day Cardiff

IT IS A VERY GOOD DAY.

One small step for TV, but one big leap for Whovian kind.

the thing is that martha and the doctor are an interesting, complicated, eternally evolving in my head dynamic that completely change the game of the narrative, and I am so into them and I will think about them forever and ever

and on the other hand I suspect that at least a certain percent of it comes from my specific reading of the doctor-as-character, and from things that the writing brought up around martha, her position in her family, her history as a medical student, her later decision to join UNIT and Torchwood, her more-than-average complex feelings both during and after being a Companion about what that life meant for her, and what the doctor changed in her life, that I would say were intentional, but weren't brought up in a narrative that was given as much space and time (ha) as other companions, and so she is eternally left in character limbo where I can only ask questions (and read fanfic) and stipulate on what this story was all about for her, and where she went as consequence, and what her feelings are about having been within it, and of course the parts that aged more poorly related to a bunch of white people writing a black woman as a lead character who weren't so well-versed on nuance as one would wish... so it's also the most frustrating dynamic in nu!who, if not all of doctor who, for me, because there is no attempt at giving it a proper end from her side, in the way there has been for so many other companions, including of course lots and lots of classic!who companions

on the third hand you would really want that potential bringing-back to be interesting in a way that interacts with their past dynamic, and fun for freema to do, and you'd worry about the amount of racist backlash that might occur, because nobody was giving martha grace as a character in the first place, would this past complexity that seemed to go over a lot of peoples' heads be something that the show perhaps should be more explicit about, so that there is no ambiguity as to how this series of events affected her and why it's more complicated than with other companions, and how does it both honour her character's inherent strengths, while also not having to make her be so strong All The Damn Time

on the fourth hand... just wanna see her again. and she'd be fire opposite ncuti, you know she would

Sorry to any First Doctor stans out there, I just couldn’t add him in good conscience because of all the racism. The War Doctor is also not here because he doesn’t really do companions. ¿Do I need to explain why Ten’s not on here?

More hinting of a Unit spinoff with Martha??

This is the Whoniverse logo

And look at the top corner....the only three characters who are not the Doctor are Sarah Jane Smith, Gwen Cooper and...Martha Jones!!!

Obviously Sarah Jane Smith was the main character in Spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Gwen in Torchwood, so is this hinting a future spinoff with Martha??

RTD, care to tell me why you dissected Fitz Kreiner and made 3 pathetic, emotionally repressed bisexual men in a mid-2000s TV series spin-off? (Most specifically Ianto Jones)

that one bit of longest day where sam and tanhith hold each other in the desolate bloodstained collapsing time sector while she’s crying & he’s just coughing and coughing up blood an shit .kept replaying in my head so

[cactiaintracist]

I'm probably delusional but I keep telling myself the reason Martha didn't appear or was not even mentioned in the giggle (I'm still mad about it) is because she has a key part in the future series

[variousqueerthings]

actually wonder about martha and donna. they met and got on really well, they could've hung out conceivably, but then donna got her memory wiped. and now her memory is back again. it's another facet of the eternal question about martha and the story: did she leave it entirely? how would she (from an in-universe pov) want to possibly still be in that story, especially considering how donna in some ways could have been a much healthier point of contact than the doctor? is she still disillusioned and tired, or would she think fondly back to some of the wonder and want to be in some way connected, not just as someone who's scared and carrying the responsibility of the world? who is martha jones today after all of that? did she ever run into donna with no memory on the street and did she know not to greet her like a friend, and what could it have meant for her that donna wouldn't recognise her? another link to that story severed outside of martha's control. does she know about the companions group? would she know that donna got her memory back? what would her feelings be if she did stumble across fourteen, either by connecting with donna first or realising afterwards that this face lives with donna (whether or not she knows about both the mindwipe and the regaining of that memory)
