30 Days of Nu-Who - Day Sixteen

[caz963]

Next up -



My love for Martha seems to have increased inversely in relation to my dislike of Rose. I didn't like Martha all that much when S3 was airing, but have revised my opinion on rewatches.



Martha's awesome is evident right from her introductory episode where she's not freaked out by the idea that they've been transported to the moon.



I like her smacking Joan down a bit in Family of Blood. Not that I don't like Joan - she's very much a woman of her time and as far as she knows, Martha is a servant with ideas above her station.



I like her quick thinking at the beginning of the episode and her comment that the Doctor is useless as a human.



I like that the Doctor trusts her to save him in 42 - and that she doesn't fall apart at the idea that trying to freeze out the sun might kill him.



I like that she's strong enough to work out that no matter how she feels about him, the Doctor is never going to feel the same - and that she's got the balls to walk away with her head held high.

But my favourite moment has to be the one towards the end of Last of the Time Lords where the Master is giving his victory speech - and she's able to throw him off track with just a smile and a giggle.

I just realised the other day that one reason I love The Lodger is that it gives us the Doctor-as-human thing that Human Nature doesn't. People seem to think it does somehow but I have never quite understood why. Also my weird narrative kink for "the Doctor does something incredibly mundane and domestic and is crap at it."
