Eww, Martha, don't go with the Torchwood team, they'll give you STDs the betraying'n'angsting bug! Really, though, I just hope she'll yell at them for being such awful human beings (especially Owen, omg, my kingdom for Martha punching Owen) and hopefully, they'll lean something from her. I'll be sad if she and Tosh don't go and sit together and shake their heads at the stupidity of the rest of the team, though.
Anyway, I just hope it'll be the Doctor the one that goes back for her. Because the asshole really doesn't deserve her unless he gets rid of his victim complex and gets over himself and moves on from his last girlfriend, omg, please. But what the hell, I'm just glad we will be seeing her again after all.
You know, I liked Rose. Still do, actually, I found her sweet and endearing. I really disliked the way she was treated in S3, though, because RTD made her into Her Holyness Saint Rose, who did nothing wrong and was so perfect and compassionate and marvelous.
Come on. She was human, and she made mistakes, that's part of why I like her, so why, OH WHY did her 'memory' (for lack of a better term) had to be used to cause poor Martha an inferiority complex all series long? Thing is -- Rose wasn't special. Oh, she was great, don't get me wrong, but why does she have to be more important than Martha? Or than Barbara, or Harry, or Ace, or Jamie, for that matter?
I dunno. Is it really just me that thinks that the Doctor has loved pretty-much-equally ALL of his companions? I might just be too fond of the omnisexual theory, I guess.
All I know is, I really wish they would've stopped with the 'OMG ROSE IS BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE' after the first episode. It got to the point that I almost wanted to dislike her, which is sad.
Is it too obvious by now that I'm writing Ten/Martha fic? Huh. (and Reading Doctor/Master, to booth.)

I really didn't like the whole reverse-telepathic signal of "Doctor" somehow giving him all of his strength back. I think that if it were the solution, at least something should have been hinted at in either 12 or 13 that it was possible, but instead it feels too much like nothing but deus ex machina.
My take on the whole Doctor/Rose thing is that RTD made the absolutely most absolutely fuck-headed decision to make the Doctor fall in love with her for real. Not platonic, not super-close camaraderie, but real love. And that just fucked everything over for everyone involved. Suddenly he has a vulnerability: she's not a time lord. She's not as smart as a time lord, not as resourceful, not as observant, not as charismatic, not as diplomatic, or anything that comes with ease to the Doctor.
This is where everything falls apart. The Doctor has never loved any of his companions more than as a companion. Sure, uber-nerd fans love to speculate, and a lot, like you, love to write fanfic about these possible things. But a lot of it is better left to the fantasies of fans.
The stories had to be written for all of the goddamn lovey-dovey shit that new couples do, and that kind of stuff really has no place in a fast-paced sci-fi action show. I take "The Idiot's Lantern" as an example: When the Doctor and Rose arrive, they spend far too much time on the two of them enjoying themselves in the '50s, what with her showing off her wardrobe and them riding along on the vespa. Too much time was taken from the actual story at hand, which made it feel really clunky. Kind of like their obsession with London being the home of the 2012 Olympics in "Fear Her", it just cripples the story because you have to cut the story to make time for the fansturbation.
The Doctor/Rose thing crippled Martha's relationship with the Doctor because he had just lost his "true love" as it were, and you're always a mopey little shit when talking about feelings after something like that happens. I also think it was a huge mistake to make Martha fall in love with him, too.
I really hope this "falling in love with his companions" isn't going to be 10's "thing", like 4 was weird, and 3 was all "Judo-chop!" Because I was like that until I found my fiancee, and it was annoying.

Thing is - while Rose was actually in, while it didn't seem entirely platonic, it wasn't overtly romantic either, and the borderline was nice, it allowed for ur fanficcers to play around with the dynamics. Now, if he'd stopped at that, and made the companion transicion a more, uh 'normal' one, it'd all been fine. But no. He just had to go and have Ten shed tears of emo pain every single episode. I admit I didn't mind the Ten'n'Rose interaction last series, it was only until later that for me, it started slowing the flow of the story and became stale.
Haha, I'm one of those odd people that like to think that the Doctor is just so much of a slut that he's shagged pretty much everyone that he's traveled with XD I'm not serious, of course, but I find it easier to be depressed by yet another ship war when I can just go 'HE LOVED THEM ALL, SO THERE and go la-la-la and pretend nothing's happening. *g*
Yeah, I didn't like the fact that Martha had to fell for him either, but I'm please to know she's smart enough to know that he's got too much issues for her to carry and that she's really best off alone. I'm proud of her.
Nah, that's mostly RTD trying to say 'up yours' to the fanboys, me thinks. He took it way too far, though.

I mean, I SO wanted to read it while watching already, so much tension, mhm.

Mmm, yeah, the tension, and the phonesex... *drools a bit*
