I love Martha Jones, she is awesome and one of my favourites of the NuWho companions but oh my god watching her episodes makes me want to scream because the Doctor is just so ignorantly emotionally cruel to her. I want to write GET A CLUE AND STOP BEING A THOUGHTLESS DICK on a cricket bat and smack him in the face with it.
Honestly series 3 is an exercise of frustration for me. All I want is to watch Ten & Martha enjoying themselves together but all I get is Ten being an ass and putting way too much responsibility on Martha's shoulders.
Like, I don't expect him to return her feelings. That's an unreasonable expectation to put on anyone but, like, dude. A little self-awareness and tact? Please?
Human Nature is basically Let’s Emotionally Torture Martha for 2 Whole Episodes and I can’t bear it. It’s all so cruel. Why the fuck did the Doctor choose 1913 England aka a time and place Martha will absolutely suffer racism and misogyny in one stinking package from almost everyone. (Because the writers wrote it that way I know. But still ugh.)
Like I would be a thousand percent more comfortable with Human Nature if it took place either somewhen else or if Martha’s cover story wasn’t literally his fucking servant. Like, he couldn’t have programmed John Smith to respect her?
