#This scene makes me so sad#because above all else#above UNIT and Torchwood#and even the Doctor#SHE was a doctor#Martha Jones helped people - her passion was to heal#and save lives#and now she might be the only one who can save the universe#but at the cost of the entire planet#she’ll kill them all#and it’s the last thing that she wants to do#but it’s the only option now#so when this woman pulls the gun on her and threatens to kill her#Martha sadly nods her head and tells her to do it#because then she wouldn’t have to make this choice#and it kills me

oh my god martha nearly did to the earth what the doctor did to gallifrey

oh my god

This is the exact reason why I maintain my position that Martha was not, under any circumstances, the companion.

She was the doctor.

Now I know that he’s always the same man at the core after regenerations  so on and so forth, but when it really boils down, the doctor isn’t a timelord, the doctor is an idea. At least in the RTD era, every companion at one point or another, has had to make the choice to become the doctor.

Rose Became the Doctor when she accepted her fate as the bad wolf.

Mickey became the doctor when he stayed in the parallel universe.

Donna became the doctor during the meta-crisis.

Jack became the doctor when he ‘died’  for the first time trying to save everyone before Rose destroyed the Daleks.

But Martha? Martha was different, Martha was special. Martha never chose to become the doctor, because that was who she always was in her heart; and substantially she was the only companion of the RTD era who didn’t need to be saved by either the timelord doctor or TARDIS intervention (in the case of Jack, seeing as it was the badwolf, who brought him back).

Anyone who doesn’t like Martha because she was “just the rebound companion” clearly isn’t paying ANY attention to who she is, and deserves a kick in the ass. Martha was the strongest. She was lured away by a handsome man who flirted with her, but she stayed because he offered her a chance to see the universe and learn all about what makes each and every life important.

When Martha walked away from the Tardis at the end of Season 3, she knew who she was and thanked the Doctor for showing her the experiences she needed to have in order to accept the nature of what it is to be a “Doctor”. She learned how to make the choice, no matter what, to save lives. Even in the big picture sense, she would always remember how to save lives.

This is why she’s wonderful.

What, people call you the Doctor? 
               Well, I’m not. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve got to earn that title. 

shipnation:

I have never been so fiercely protective of a fictional character than I am with Martha Jones.

She got shit from the Doctor, from the fandom, for doing everything a normal person would do, and beyond that, her only fault to viewers is she fell in love with their beloved Doctor (and ::whispers:: she’s black)

She saved his life on more than one occasion. Including giving her last breath when she just met the guy. Not good enough.

She had the crappiest/most dangerous “adventures” with the Doctor and stuck by his side. Not good enough.

She is a doctor in her own right, but took a job at a shop, worked hard and supported him when he had no money, no tardis. Not good enough.

She endured racism and servitude as a second-class citizen all to protect his identity. Not good enough.

She walked the earth for an entire year, while her family worked as slaves, to save the world from tyranny. Not good enough.

After all that she still wasn’t good enough, so she left, and you know what?

You are better than good Martha. You are fucking amazing.

Celebrating New Who | Favorite Theme

My favorite theme in this new series is when female companions selflessly stand up for, or stand in solidarity with, one another. These four moments in particular are really powerful indications of how much these women care about each other, even though they never got to spend much time together. I think they are some of the most beautiful moments in the whole series.

Doctor Who Meme ✖ [1/9] Scenes Sonnet 18

I love the look on Martha’s face.

Because I bet she read that Sonnet when she was in school.

And the realization that that fucking sonnet is going to be about HER RADIANT BLACK BEAUTY!!!

Martha Fucking Jones gets POETRY written for her that lasts through the ages.

YAAASSSS

The Doctor’s faces are killing me!

I actually find this really great because NOBODY KNOWS who “the dark lady” is.  There are various sonnets composed for/about her, but nobody knows her identity.

We do.

Martha stole Shakespeare’s heart
