Well I can't respond for the people who made said comments but as for myself, I only had to resort to the Martha/Rose comparaison when I had been attacked on the same grounds. And I've never done it with pleasure.
I absolutely understand that, I mean, sometimes for the sake of discussion comparison is needed. I just think in these cases it wasn't and their points (assuming their points were in fact that Martha is awesome, and not that Rose sucks which would still make my point that it only added fuel to the fire stand) would've come across even if they hadn't used Rose in comparison. HOLY CRAP SOMEONE STOP ME I AM RAMBLING QUEEN LOL
That was the whole point of this post really, to show some arguments about the fact that Martha actually *has* come into her own as a more than competent companion and that it was unecessary to take the piss at RTD for one poorly misquoted comment.
Exactly. I mean, I think I remember RTD saying in a confidential that season three was about Martha's journey and that in the finale she finally came to her own and stood out of Rose's shadow (I'm paraphrasing but that was the jyst of it I believe) and that's precisely what I felt watching the third season.
I *do* personally prefer Martha to Rose but that doesn't mean that I don't like the latter at all. Actually, I'm hoping for them to really *ahem* get along... If you catch my drift.
I have absolutely no problem with you or anyone else prefering Martha over Rose. I just wish people would stop pitting them against each other :( (that includes RTD) I'm obviously all for them ::ahem:: getting along as well, as I'm sure you figured out from my post haha ;)
