So here’s a non-starter: add a companion who’s fallen for the Doctor even though he’s going to spend the rest of the season mourning Rose. Martha is an amazing woman kneecapped by a crush, not the first female character to be limited by her emotional reaction to a man but disappointing in this series since Rose never was. It’s hard to respect and admire somebody you feel sorry for, and Martha deserves respect and admiration. Still, we have Ten in perpetual motion, and Martha never asks for pity, so allons-y into Season Three of the reboot.
