Haha, we could lavish praise on each other all day—I love the way you explained it all, too ;) All the insight! Oh, that's an interesting POV indeed =) I can imagine how your view of her character would be entirely different, then. The companions all brought something new, their own understanding, but Martha was very resourceful indeed. When I rewatched, one of the eps I liked most was 42, when Ten was so frightened and Martha was there for him, by his side. It was really a strong moment between them. And as she was training to be a doctor, she knew how to reassure and support people in very difficult moments. I also loved the end of Gridlock when she put her foot down so firmly when realizing he really wasn't willing to open up to her, about Gallifrey. "You talk so much, but you never say!" She really seemed to see through him. Rose loved him, and their relationship was very strong, and yet she didn't really seem that curious of that background, instinctively hitting the deep stuff, the hidden part that hurt. Oh, good point about Clara! I really like the way she seems to want to prove herself to him, too… Like I said—yay gushing all over each other ;)
