  • Luna Lovegood! :D

  • I have a theory that River kills the Doctor.

  • Oh, for a second i was worried NO BODY liked her.

  • MARTHA!

    MARTHA!

    MARTHA!

  • do the martha vid plz

  • Mickey waited 12 months for Rose. Rory waited 2000 years for Amy.

  • don't you just love British television :-)

  • I think that River could be Rory and Amy's child so it would make sense that Rory is the greatest man she knew. It would also explain why she's weird around Amy.

  • Yes!! Finally another Matha lover!! You are the first other one I've met!!

  • Isn't Rory technically an Auton duplicate now? I like your theory though. Its so nice to see the young 'uns showing enthusiasm for the latest version of this re-launched thing-the kid with the screwdriver was great! I preferred Martha to Rose, she was more accomplished, witness her as the maid demonstrating her medical knowledge to Hynes' character in that '-Human' one! she was great in her first with the Judoon too. I still prefer Tennant to Smith. Aren't you in 'The IT Crowd'?

  • I liked Martha too, but RTD screwed her over by making her yet another girl who was giddy for the Doctor. Thank God Donna came along to break that cycle a little. I may well have given up on the new series otherwise.

  • I had to go back and watch that bit at the beginning where Tegan said hello to us all... It's been a while since I watched the repeats but boy was that a nostalgia hit! She's the closest Who has made it to Australia... too bad she was excruciatingly annoying.

    I'm a bit so, so about Martha. I don't dislike her but I like Rose & Donna & Ace & SJ more.

  • Everything ever > Martha.

  • The " I killed the greatest man I ever knew" comment a lot of people think is a reference to the The Doctor. However technically he isn't a man so you could be right about Rory,but my guess its someone we haven't meet yet.

  • I think I'm really fickle. I loved Rose, then Martha came along, I loved Martha, etc etc. So Amy is my favourite at the moment. However, just been re-watching all the new Who episodes in preparation for the next series and remembered why I loved all of them. Rose was compassionate and fantastic, Martha was brave and inventive and Donna was gutsy and independent.

  • I love Martha. She's my favourite companion. I can't begin to fathom how anyone could not like her, haha.

  • I cannot tell you how you made my day, I was River on the Amy , Rory and River oh my and I was delighted that you had fun. And that you got up at 10AM on a Sunday

  • Martha is my favorite companion too! I can't even count how many times I've had to defend her. I'm considering making a video about it too... I can't wait to hear what you have to say on the matter.

  • i SOOOO want to go to this at some point. its like a life goal of mine. Atend Galifrey one.

  • I LOVE Martha! She is I think my favorite companion for the doctor. Her and the 10th doctor are like the best ever together! Shes just awesome.

  • I also don't think that River kills Rory, I just don't think he is the greatest man she knew, he may have waited 2000 years for Amy, but I still don't think that makes him the greatest. I think we are yet to find out the greatest man she ever knew, or it'll be the Doctor, which is lame and predictable, so probably not.

  • I would like to hear why you like Martha so much, because I really didn't like her, I don't know if it was Freema Agyman being a poor actor or Rose was my first companion and I didn't want anyone to take her place and Martha wanted the Doctor, but his heart still belonged to Rose.

  • Don't be afraid of the haters! There are plenty of people who love Martha, myself included. (Not that it matters that other people like her--she's awesome and it shouldn't matter what other people think, but I know it often feels like it does.) She's so kick-ass! (and so smart!) I think I might like Amy Pond a bit more than Martha, but they're both fantastic characters.

  • Tegan! Im a new Who fan who's recently gotten into Classic Who and especaly into her character(I love her snarkey-ness}: very jealous :)

  • Several things!

    1. I like Martha too! Actually I never really had a problem with any of the companions. Mickey is still my fave.

    2. I don't think, as an audience, we are SUPPOSED to like River. We are supposed to be suspicious of her and feel all awkward because we know parts of her story and she knows parts of *ours*. She is the result of very clever, careful writing.

  • What you say could be true, as the Doctor isn't actually a "man," he's a Time Lord.

  • That is a great theory, it makes so much sense, I always just figured River killed the Doctor.

  • DUDE I DON'T LIKE RIVER EITHER. Thank gosh I'm not the only one.

  • Comment removed

  • you should take a look at the Doctor Who thread in Your Pants, lots of great Series 6/River theories there!

  • This Rory thing very much intrigues me. I like Martha. I really do. She was brilliant. I do happen to like every companion in Modern Who though. I think they all served their purposes and I like all of them. Some things about Amy do bother me, but I'm still fond of her.

  • can you please do a martha video? i really do not like her, but i would actually love to hear what you have to say to defend her. dont worry about the haters.

  • I actually really love your Rory theory. Even if he's not the greatest man ever right now, we don't know what he'll do in the future.

    Also, even though I don't agree with you on Martha, I really don't understand how people can actually hate on people that do like her. Just because someone has a different opinion than you, it doesn't mean they're a bad person.

  • :flaming hate comment:

    Please make a video about this.

  • I would love to see you talk about Martha. I've recently come round to not hating her over the past few months. The reason I didn't like her at first is a common fan reason: she was too in love with the Doctor, something which I now realize isn't and shouldn't be a crime. Martha also suffers from inconsistent characterization in my opinion; the writers didn't develop her like they should have and that's unfortunate for such an intelligent, independent, kickass character.

  • martha... i like u so im not gonna hate but still

  • Why does America always get the best things of stuff that came from Britain =[ not fair =[ so jealous

  • What's wrong with Martha? I think she's awesome... The one I've liked the least is Dona, I thought she was annoying.

  • Martha is my favorite too! she is such a bad ass in the finale of season three! (and four)

  • Rose Tyler was definately one of THEEEE best companions! ever.Martha was OKAY. Donna made me laugh and Amy Pond is ginger and should just dissapear., and I am in love with Rory <3.

  • do the video on martha already, you have my support. She's underrated IMO. She risked her life to travel the world for a year to save Earth from theMaster and the Toclafane. She deserves credit.

  • I watched "The Big Bang" again....and if you remember the end when River was all vague about if she was married. If she is married, she probally killed her husband (seens as he's no where to be seen)....and that cant be Rory. Every one has their theory's and I'm probally just going against yours because I LOVE RORY ALOT :)

  • @becky1oconnor I thought she was married to the Doctor, or how else did she found out about her real name? I should watch Silence at the Library again, I'm not 100% sure if she says they were married.

  • @MUSICVALLA Yeah....they never say for certain if she is married to the Doctor......(I personally dont think the Doctor would get married).......its all a mystery..................hopef­ully we will find out in the first half of season 6... :)

  • Good theory about Rory, I hads a think about it. The problem is, the events that River is talking about (killing the man), happened before the big bang episodes (in her time line) if it is Rory that she kills, surely she would know who he was at the time of the 'big bang'.... she refers to him as 'the plastic centurian' when they first meet.

    I don't think I explained myself properly there, sorry!

  • It's just so good to see such a positive attitude to a Doctor Who-con, I remember the bad old days when being a fan was somewhat less of a popular thing.

  • The problem I had with Martha was just the whole "unrequited love story" they wrote for her. And Ten treated her so bad most of the time. I feel like the character of Martha had all of this potential but she never got to show it.

  • I love Martha as well. Don't be too concerned about the haters!

  • the only reason i don't think river kills rory is because rory has already died too many times :) it just wouldn't have the surprise factor anymore if river killed him. Other than that, I would totally believe it!

  • I love Martha! She was the only companion with stones!

  • Ahhh Kayley that sounds amazing, I am super jealous!!

    My friend and I did go to the Doctor Who experience in London last Saturday (19th Feb) and oddly enough were talking about how you and Rosianna may enjoy this.

    Look how you have effected our lives! Ha-ha. =)

  • please post the "Why you love Martha" video soon.

    I need to see inside you're crazy brain, so that I can maybe understand how you like her. I thought you mentioned in one of your videos that you didn't like Martha?

    Oh well, we all have different opinions :)

  • HA! "Spoilers!"

  • I think Martha is SOOOOO the BEST! Amy/Rose draw second and I really didn't like Donna... I think maybe river could kill Rory, maybe that is way Amy leaves the tardis/doctor? Just some food for thought! <3 ~Sarcastic_Bunny

  • Is it too obvious to say that river killed the doctor? or maybe it'll be like last season were when the doctor said he was going to die but he just regenerated. so maybe she killed her favouite version of him.

  • Martha's my favourite, too!

    And no one ever understands why :(

  • So I'm about to embark on my first episode of Dr. Who... I don't know what to expect at all. :D

  • I hate the majority of Ten's companions. Besides Jack Harkness if you consider him one X)

    But I do really like Amy Pond.

    P.S. Master Cheif costume for the win.

  • i love martha 2

  • that's a great theory!! i never even thought of it. *mind blown*

    next one of these, i will be attending!!!!!!

  • DUDE. YOU MET TEGAN.

    .... NEVER MIND, NOT IMPORTANT, YOU GOT TO WATCH JANE ESPENSON TALK. GYAHHHH.

    Weee Eleven is the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my life.

    I maintain my crack theory that the great man River kills is Wilf.

  • @ProfessorSpork I spoke to Doris Egan and was in a room with Jane Espenson. ONE DEGREE, BABY. And I have not watched much old Who, but the woman who played Tegan was SO lovely.

    And yeah, Wilf is a good idea. But like, I know this sounds bad, but Wilf is old. So I feel like it would not have been the BIGGEST tragedy if he was killed as opposed to Rory who is so young, you know? I don't think I'm explaining this right. We can talk on skype about it sometime :)

  • I love Martha too, but I prefer Amy, personally I never understand why people liked Rose, because I never have. And although I think your theory makes sense, I don't want to see Rory die again! :'(

  • @bluejaybee17 I love Amy, too. They're my favourite companions. I like Rose, but I found her really whiney and bitchy a lot of the time. I just never saw what most people see in her.

  • @owlssayhooot I agree about Rose, I really don't understand what they see in her.

  • I love Martha :)

    For every flaming hate comment you get, I will post two nice ones :)

  • @DoctorsTardis2012 You're awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • Counter argument: if Rory was the greatest man River ever met then surely she'd have recognised him in The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, instead of just "the Roman Centurion"?

    We even know she's met him at least once before in series 6 and she still didn't recognise him. I don't think it could have been Rory...

  • I love Martha too, please make a video about it!

  • It would have been so awesome if littleradge would have been there. He would win every "costume" contest.

  • @FaniFranzel I don't know. He may LOOK like Ten, but these people looked like the monsters, which is a bit more impressive xD

  • was this with an online thing like blizzaed did

  • Martha was an excellent companion :)

  • I don't get the hate on Martha - I liked her for being, you know, competant. Using her medical student skills rather than going 'Crumbs! XYZ problem! Doctor!' I think kind of opened the door to more independant companions. I know Rose solved some problems and all, but to me she seemed to be getting into more trouble than she could solve without others being forced to help. P:

    ... And the tiny Eleven there is really, really cool.

  • @marillbuddy Yeah, I just think Martha never stood a chance coming after Rose. People hated her unjustly. And also I hate when people say she was whiney and pining after the Doctor. It's not like she is just there drooling over him. Yes, she loves him, but that doesn't make her less important. She still gets shit done. I mean, honestly, who WOULDN'T fall for the Doctor?

  • Yeah,Make a video about martha and then ust dont look at the comment caz byou should know that the pople thaT put hate comments are sad and imature. So yeah please do a martha video :D xxxx

  • Just to note, after everyone is talking about which companions they like most, I'm one for Sarah Jane. And for modern companion, I think either Adelaide Brook or Wilfred Mott.

    I also like *shields face* River Song, even though I know TARDIStacular doesn't...

  • .......

    HOW DID YOU THINK OF THAT?!?!? THAT IS BRILLIANT!!! Of course the fact is the doctor isn't a 'man' in a literal sense, he is a time lord (I'm not say he isn't male). It makes sense! And also, I've never liked the idea that River kills the doctor. She might make him regenerate, but kill him... Also, she does love the doctor. Thirdly, under what circumstances would she get arrested for killing the doctor? I know I'm a bit vague in that last comment, but you see what I mean (I hope...)

  • I adore Martha! :D I'd say Donna was my favourite, but Martha is wonderful <3 Everything seems to point to River (who I also love xP) killing the Doctor, so it would make sense/be far more likely that she doesn't, and while killing Rory is a horrible though, I can really see that happening. Er, that made no sense, did it? xD

  • Pff, Martha. You know who I love? Rose frikkin Tyler. *ducks when Rose Tyler haters throws stones* OI, she was actually called the second best companion ever. Right after Sara Jane! Take that, Rose haters!! *ducks again*

  • @Narglesonamistletoe Everyone loves Rose, I don't know who you're talking about. I just find her generally annoying.

  • @owlssayhooot Everyone thinks she's annoying. Like EVERYONE. I've never met anyone who hasn't said at least once: "Rose is kind of needy/whiny/bitchy/annoying." But still, Rose shooting the heads of Daleks, with the hugest gun ever is so freaking amazing.

  • @Narglesonamistletoe i disagree... everyone that i know LOVES rose, personally l'm a Donna person but i think that Martha is much more unpopular (no offense martha fans)

  • @Narglesonamistletoe But by the way, I don't hate Martha. The one I really hate, is River. I HATE RIVER SONG!!!

    I wish she could just leave. Seriously, he has 3 companions!! You might not call her a companion because she doesn't live in the TARDIS, but she's probably going to be in every one of these episodes. which really pisses me off.

  • @Narglesonamistletoe i love Rose. she's amazing. Billie Piper portrayed her SO well. <3

  • I liked Martha, she wasn't my favourite but I don't see why everyone hated her. Also I really really wish I was super rich so I could constantly go on flights to America to attend Harry Potter and Doctor Who conventions, America seems to get everything good.

  • Little Eleven has even mastered the WALK! :O wow...

  • @DOCTORxxWHOxxFAN I KNOW RIGHT? insane.

  • @owlssayhooot It really is! And thanks for replying! xx

  • I actually loved Martha too

  • It would make sense if it was Rory because it was so beautifully set up to be the Doctor and that's what everyone's expecting. I mean, if it was actually going to be the Doctor, they wouldn't go through so much trouble to make it look like it's the Doctor.

  • "Old Who" ? Not so "Classic" any more it seems ... :(

    And while we're on the point ... how can we still call it "New Who" now we're three Doctor's in?

  • @aka4x7b Because it's newer than Old Who?

  • @owlssayhooot

    So it's more a case "THEE Doctor Who Series" and the "Relatively more Recent Contiguous Doctor Who Series"?

    The real problems kick in if New Who stops for a few years then starts again, what would we call it? Post New Who? Modern Who? Now Who? Does the Old New Who become Neo Classic Who? Transitional Who? The Murray Gold Who? Does the Old/Classic Series become Pre Millennial Who? Dad's Who? Extinct Who?

    These issues keep me awake at night. :P

  • I am so unbelievably jealous.

  • And when River said that she killed someone, my first tought was she killed the doctor.

  • Make a video about Martha soon, please.

  • I'm fairly certain something will happen to Rory to cause River to kill him.

  • Martha was great, she had some fantastic episodes. :)

  • Interesting theory. As soon as you said it, it kinda made sense.

  • I really liked Martha when I watched her series and I was really confused to see all this hate about her when I joined tumblr... I don't understand where it comes from.

  • awwwwyour wering amy-pond-colour nail varnish :D

  • @GreenFairyPrincess It went with my costume :)

  • I would like to know, why I never knew about this!!!

  • God..at least you don't like Donna..What a complete Sonic strewdriver up the ass that series with her was..bleugh!!

  • @Mikeg993 I do like Donna. I never said I didn't.

  • Thank you .. I am now worried that if Rory dies once more .. I might cry myself to sleep . And I love Martha to she was better then Rose . Rose seem so needy . SHe never let the Doctor get so close knowing one day he was going to move on unlike everyone elsc .

    and I was at something like this in london a while back and we all thought that river had something to do with him burning galifry . the doctor says himself he has changed so much . I think she means that .

  • I don't get people's hate for Martha, she's not my favorite (Tie between Jack/Amy and Donna personally) but she was a fun and great addition to that third season and truly a character that had a lot of depth to her.

  • @ZackHunter I've not had any terrible objections with any of the companions from the revamped series-- If Donna had joined the Doctor in RUNAWAY BRIDE, I might have disliked her, but as it happened, I think Donna was great. Martha was nice coming along when she did, as an "above average" person after totally normal Rose, and she's become even more remarkable in her appearance since.

  • Interesting theory about Rory ... I'd never actually thought of that. Thank you for enlightening me!

  • Wish I coulda gone. Unfortunately I was across the the country. Also at Katsucon.

  • 3:30- DAVID TENNANT TWIN!

  • I've actually grown to appreciate Martha a lot more recently. I really had a hard time getting past the fact that she just sort of left the Doctor. It seemed selfish to me, but I think I'm starting to understand her and why she had to leave him (besides the obvious unrequited love thing). But you should really make a video on the subject, I would love to hear your opinions on her character.

  • i get the whole roy thing, River has always looked at amy as if she kinda knows all about her and either something horrible or magnificent happens to her. I mean roy did stay with the pandorica for 2,000 years and is clearly capable of amazing things. i support your theory! also she may not consider the doctor a "man"

  • i get the whole roy thing, River has always looked at amy as if she kinda knows all about her and either something horrible or magnificent happens to her. I mean roy did stay with the pandorica for 2,000 years and is clearly capable of amazing things. i support your theory! 

  • I love Martha too! And I have no clue why I just think she is...awesome. I didn't like that she ended up with Mickey though.

  • Well, Martha is probably tied with Rose for me. I didn't like either of them very much. But I don't HATE them. xD

  • I don't get why people DON'T like Martha.

  • Thank you! Someone else who doesn't hate Martha! I don't, well I kinda do, but I do not really understand why everyone hates her so much.

  • I went to an anime convention about a month ago and saw half a dozen doctors. It felt amazing knowing that Doctor Who is gaining popularity.

  • I have always thought that when River made that statement she was talking about either Rory or the Doctor. However, I have a hard time seeing them kill the Doctor (I mean, after all, that would mean the series would end with slim chance of revival). I could definitely see Rory though.

    And, by the way, I like Martha a lot as well. :) You should definitely make a video as to your reasons why!! :)

  • I wonder how many thumbs down I would get if I admitted that I like Martha more than I like Rose. I mean, Rose is BADASSCRAZYAWESOMEHOT, but MARTHA. Mmm.

  • AHHH! Someone dressed up as a weeping angel, that would creep me out so much! This looks amazing, Kayley. I want to go to Gallifrey One soooo badly. I will definitely make it some day!

  • Martha is my favorite too!

  • OH MY GOODNESS!!! janet fielding!!! fangirling so much right now...

  • I don't get how people can not like Martha.

  • I like Martha too :)

  • River killing Rory makes more sense to me more than River killing the Doctor - it's just too obvious for Doctor Who. I...I think you may be on to something, there.

  • Martha? I'll wait to hear your side.

  • Little eleven is my favorite.

    Omigod. River is going to kill Rory. You are so right.

  • Martha was my favourite Tenth Doctor companion. Rose worked best with Nine and while Donna was entertaining as ever I quite liked Martha's story the most and she was an interesting character. Not to mention I thought Freema Agyeman was the most talented actress out of the three.

    I would like to hear your reasons for liking Martha as well as good counterpoints to criticism directed at her.

  • wouldn't it be great if that "little eleven" became the doctor sometime in the future?

  • @ocdturtle His name was Tristan, such a cutie!

  • @ocdturtle That probably wouldn't happen, they'd all have American accent and won't be English :(

  • @happy0little0bunny true, but it would still be cool

  • @ocdturtle Yes.

  • I was all off in, omg what if River kills Rory world, and then you said Martha was your favorite and I snapped back

    yuck :(

  • Seriously. Make a video about why you like Martha.

    I. Don't. Get it.

  • @sequenceofletters Martha was amazing .

  • @sequenceofletters She is so badass.

  • @sequenceofletters why wouldn't anybody like martha? O.o

  • Are you on Gallifrey Base? You'd fit right in!

  • You should go to science fiction conventions. I was at one last weekend and I went to six really interesting pannels, all of them seated by sci fi writers. I've been going to these cons all my life and I absolutely live for them. The people there are just all so awesome.

  • Martha was my companion

  • sounds awesome :)

  • I did have the theory that it was the doctor, but now you say that, it does have some sense to it.. she does used to word 'man' and the doctor isn't exactly a man. Theories are what makes this show so much more enjoyable, and i think the ones surrounding River are more so as there's so much mystery around her character. I'm excited to see where it goes!

  • lol i think that she kills the doctor sorta and makes him regenerate, personalty, Rory is great and all but he already did sorta almost die, i think if he died again it would be a bit... repetitive?

  • **is jealous.** Like really jealous. I am SO going next year.

  • I thought the greatest man... what the doctor...???? tell me if you disagree... because i hope it isnt true

  • @wowthatsailor The Doctor isn't a man. And it feels too obvious to me.

  • i'd love to see a "why you love Martha" video!

    no flaming hate comment from me!

    ;)

    btw looks like this was tons of fun!

    definitely cool

  • I have only watched the Doctor Who episodes from 2005, but of the companions we have seen thus far, Martha is my favorite, also. Rose was too mopey and Donna was too irritating and Amy doesn't feel like a companion with the way she goes on about Rory all the time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them all as companions, but Martha felt the most interesting.

    Also, I am sure this is nothing new, but I've always assumed River was referring to the Doctor.

  • i would have gone as the 9th he's my favorite....

  • 1. I had a friend who brought up the whole Rory thing. 2. I have read/seen a few places that said they have been planning the whole River thing since they first brought her in. The name of the First Episode she was in was called "Silence in the Library". Just found that interesting considering the name of the person/group is called The Silence. Hope this get everyone thinking. I've even gone as far as thinking that The Silence might be in the first River episodes... who knows.

  • I love that the girls dressed as daleks had whisks.

    and the little eleven was adorable.

    and Martha is awesome.

  • @rainbowbubblesXD :D that was me and my friends

  • @rainbowbubblesXD

    Thank you very much

    -Girl dressed as a Dalek with whisk and plunger

  • @VeggetableMonster Your costumes were pretty awesome :]

  • @rainbowbubblesXD Thank you so much! We worked really hard on them!

  • I really hope she kills Rory. Rory seems to be the one who always needs saving. I'll guess that Rory will be killed so the Doctor can go back to having one companion.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with that theory! Brilliant! :) Although... I don't really want it to happen.

  • I am so jealous  right now! Not only have you met Janet Fielding ! (Tegan) but it

    sounded to me like John Leeson the REAL voice of K-9 was there too! You are

    one lucky fan!

  • @Pattonfrodo He was. I got him to say "TARDIStacular" and just used the audio over the shot of K9.

  • @owlssayhooot ha ha! That is SO Cool! :) You Rule! LOL

  • I pretty much bawled when Rory died so I REALLY hope you're wrong. But I also think there's a chance you're right with River killing Rory. I'm assuming she would do that by accident somehow because I can't see her intentionally doing it.

    OR because River time travels she kills him before knowing him, and now she's getting to know him knowing that in the future she kills him? THAT would be depressing.

  • Martha is my least favorite companion, I don't hate her or anything, I just like Donna the most.
