Doctor Who

almh, I know you're right about her and that's why most people can't stand her. I think part of the reason my daughter likes her is because of her name. She really likes saying "Marfa Jones".

I love the Rose Tyler character (I often wonder if she's related to Sam Tyler somehow). She's definitely more interesting than Martha and I believe the Doctor agrees since he seems more interested in Rose than he has any companion that I've seen.

I suspect that the reason the Doctor kept Martha around had a lot to do with him needing to be needed and feeling so lonely after Rose was ripped away from him. It was also interesting to see Martha's reaction to the events in the story where the Doctor had been turned into a human.

I do think that the situation with Martha shown at the end of the New Years' special seemed odd.

And then of course there's Donna. After Rose and Martha it was cool to see a female companion which neither the Doctor nor the companion had any romantic feelings towards one another.
