(no subject)

No this isn't another post to express my hatred of RTD over his quote of doom.

I wasn't even supposed to post about it but frelling_tralk made such a brilliant meta on the subject that I had the urge to pimp it since I couldn't agree more.

Oh look ! Coherent thoughts.

She particulary nailed that part :

Martha is going to be appearing in a spin-off, as well as continue in DW. All of this surely points to the fact that she is meant to be a kick-ass character in her own right, and that RTD does appreciate her. Martha's character didn't need the Doctor to fall in romantic love with her, especially when the audience all know the reason why that didn't happen, and it had nothing to do with Martha's flaws.I mean heck plenty of people did fall for Martha.



And for the record, I'm as hardcore a Martha fan as you can get. This was the only comment I made responding to yourfavoritesky's post yesterday :

He (RTD) was repeatedly surprised at people who thought he didn't like Martha. I think he meant to say that the Doctor and Martha couldn't just have the same kind of bond that the doctor had with Rose, which does not make her any less special in her own right. It was just poorly phrased.

Thing is I refuse to harsh my squee from the Voyage of the Damned trailer so that's my interpretation.

As for mah squee ? Still intact.


Especially since David Tennant and John Simm are publicly dating again, and Freema is still breathtakingly gorgeous, so WTF ever fandom. :p

Look; I was only being half serious with that kind of comment. I understand you can't really reduce the whole thing to a silly mathematical equation type thing but I just couldn't be bothered to go into a big explanation of my opinions.

I'm sorry if you felt I was attacking you in any way, I was merely trying to point out that comments like that, wether they are only half serious or not don't do Martha or Rose fans any good. For the record, I also encourage Rose fans to not compare her to Martha when talking about how awesome Rose is.

I understand you didn't feel like getting into a huge discussion about why you like Martha which is why you resorted to a quick Martha > Rose, but my point was, you could've easily just said Martha is fucking awesome! She kicks ass! rather than doing what most Martha fans blame The Doctor for doing, comparing her to Rose.

So no offence, but I don't need you going off on a big rant at me accusing me of thinking all Rose fans are "batshit insane 14 year old fangirls" on the basis of one comment that doesn't really even say anything anyway.

I didn't accuse you of thinking that, it just so happened that your comment was the one I responded to and I only pointed out the double standard that I feel exists in fandom as a whole, regarding Martha and Rose.

Sorry if I sounded defensive...it's late and I have an essay due tomorrow that isn't even halfway finished, so my brain is a little fried! But I do take your point about the comparison not really doing anyone any favours, so shall try to do better in the future. :)

Haha, no problem I'm sure I was a bit defensive there myself. I just want Martha and Rose to have hot sex in the back of the Tardis everyone to get along :)
