It's fascinating because Martha has always been the most grounded of the companions, straightforward, extremely competent also. To depict her as daydreaming and afraid of losing touch with reality is telling. She always seemed the companion with the most agency also, the one who didn't need the Doctor because she already knew she could save lives, after all she was the real doctor... In fact it seemed to me the woman she became after the Doctor would have grown without his help, contrary to Rose or Amy, who, you feel, would have been much, much different. You showed how the Doctor changed her and I like it. It's a tiny piece of headcanon but I approve.
Favourite line : "But her hand remains steady and slowly, this small part of the world becomes hers all over again, as she relearns the tiny, silly, stunning wonders of being home." Love, love the rhythm and oppositions.
