Sorry to randomly comment on you like that but it's the second comment of the sort I've seen on this entry and that just tickled me a bit. That's kind of a double standard in fandom isn't it? The fact that it's perfectly okay to talk about how Martha totally pwns Rose and is much better than her, but when Rose fans talk about how they think Rose is better than Martha they get labelled as batshit insane 14 year old fangirls. I'm generalizing here, but that's generally the case.
It's perfectly okay for you to think Martha is better than Rose, but I think comments like yours and the other one above (I'd like to see a Martha/Rose meeting just to see Martha kick her blonde ass) just add fuel to the fire. I understand that RTD's alleged comments make people want to respond and contradict his statement, but I don't think it's necessary to always compare Martha to Rose when trying to demonstate how awesome she is. Wouldn't it be better in fact to (unlike The Doctor) not compare her to Rose and appreciate her for her own awesomeness?
I'm sorry for rambling LOL I'll get off my soapbox now.
