To all the “What about Martha?” people, I would like to gift you this…

SPOILERS FOR THE NEW DOCTOR WHO SPECIAL BELOW THE CUT!

You know that the FIRST thing Donna is gonna do with her UNIT access, now that she remembers her, is look up our dear Dr. Martha Jones and have her round for tea. And Martha’s going to bring Mickey, incase you forgot that those two got together (I didn’t). And the three of them are absolutely going to DRAG The Doctor.

They’ll regale each other with “War Stories”, like how Donna and the Doctor fought fat. Or when Martha helped Shakespeare save the world with Harry Potter. Or how Mickey and Rose were trapped on a spaceship and Ten showed up 10 minutes late, drunk with his tie around his head, after snogging a historical figure.

Martha is going to meet Rose. And yes, Rose will absolutely love her new Auntie, but Martha will just adore the ground Rose walks on. She’ll help Rose with her toys, telling her stories about all the different creatures she recognizes. She’ll give her hair tips, and take her shopping, cause that’s what Aunties do.

Mickey and Shaun will bond, they’ll share a pint and laugh. Maybe Wilf will join them. Sometimes they’ll talk about what it’s like to be amongst the stars, other days they just sit and watch the football game.

Jack shows up at some point, because of course he does. No one remembers calling him, he just showed up on the front step with a bottle of wine, and arms full of presents for Rose, because he has 15 years worth of spoiling to make up for.

Meanwhile The Doctor gets to see some of his favourite people again. Sometimes they have big family dinners, where they have to go eat in the TARDIS just to fit everyone. Sometimes they just pop round for tea, and a chat.

And they’ll go on adventures, of course they will. Because they can do that now. They can go on an adventure, and then go back to their lives.

The Doctor gets to have a family, and a normal life, and it’s wonderful.

They are two of the smartest bitches around but are complete idiots when it comes to realizing their crush reciprocates their feelings. It's honestly hard to watch.

Two Poirots converse while three other Poirots tend to their unique agricultural endeavors.

A silly little AU concept returns.

Annie (1982). A spunky young orphan is taken in by a rich eccentric, much to the chagrin of the cantankerous woman who runs the orphanage.

With just enough cynicism to keep itself from being saccharine and an absolutely delightful soundtrack, there's a reason Annie's left her mark on pop culture. Some of the cinematography is pretty wonderful too. 7/10.
