Time, Truth, and Hearts (Doctor Who)

Time - The Doctor. Because he's a Time Lord. Duh.

Truth - Martha Jones. I chose Martha for truth mostly because of her involvement in "Human Nature" and "Family of Blood", because she's the only person who knows the truth about John Smith. Simbolic, you know?

Hearts - Rose Tyler. Simple enough. She's got a pure heart...and she holds the Doctors'...both of them ;)

The video starts off more about the Doctor and ends up more about Martha, but Rose has a constant presence. She's had a massive part in the Doctor's life, after all. I really like the way this turned out, and I worked on it for -ages- so I hope you all like it :D

The song is "All These Things I've Done" by the Killers.

I enjoyed this song that you choose...

and especially giggled at your reasoning

but have I really missed this video for a year???? WOW I don't usually do that.......that's amazing that I missed this video at least I watched it now, I should catch up

HogwartsHonorRoll,

John Smith is such a wimp. He cried and complained and treated Martha horribly amd he is a real pain in the ass. You earlier referred to Martha as a "transitional" character, but that is not how she was described to the public, yet they knew all along that they would get rid of her at the end of Series 3. I feel duped and as brilliant as Freema's performance was, I'm sorry they even created Martha because they didn't treat her well, so really what was the point of it all?

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

Okay, yeah.

I think we've hit something that we agree on. Matron vs. Martha being a bit unfairly balanced.

However, John Smith fell in love with the Matron, and she realised that though he was the same man, he wasn't. I can't see the Doctor loving her. I don't think the Doctor was ready for romance so soon after losing Rose.

[Lucille7777]

HotwartsHonorRoll,

Yes I agree except that at the end of Family of Blood the Doctor betrayed Martha by asking the Matron to come with him as his companion, and that everything John Smith was, he had in him and that they could at least "try", but she said no, so he went back to Martha, and Martha asked how she was and that she would go and speak to her but he said no, so what made it o.k. for him to have a relationship with the Matron but not with Martha? Rose was still an issue for him.

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

Well, they couldn't exactly have a romance right after Rose. That'd cause a lot of outrage.

And I do admit that Martha is a bit of a transitional character, and that maybe that wasn't fair for an actress as brilliant as Freema.

As well as I think that the BBC overreacted by axing her because she wanted to do Law and Order. I say good for her, though. She deserves to do other things and to branch out of Doctor Who, and the BBC has no right to stop her.

[Lucille7777]

HotwartsHonorRoll,

"Martha" was created by RTD before Freema took the role, but I suspect the unrequited love angle was a ruse to get rid of Freema if she didn't work out as Martha. I've listened to the commentaries and its just the way RTD and David Tennant discuss her that I don't like. You see how they axed her from Torchwood because she had the balls to get another job at ITV in Law and Order; and David's smirk after the hug, at the end of Doctor's Daughter said it all - total disrespect.

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

Part Three:

On another note, do you know for sure that Marthat was created specifically for Freema?

I really don't think that racisim came into play with her character and her relationship with the Doctor. And I think that her looks (which by far, Freema is a beautiful woman, there is no denying that) being what they are that in a different situation (namely not so soon after he'd lost Rose) he would have treated her differently.

Hmm...I don't think we ever will agree on this.

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

Part two:

I really believe that the Doctor does feel remorse for the way he treated her, and I don't think that (as you, Lucille7777, mentioned earlier) he recommened her for the job at UNIT because he was trying to redeem himself, but because apologies and anything heartfelt is generally difficult for him and that he hoped that he might be ablet to make something good come of her travels with him and not had simply caused her heart to break.

Splittage again.

*eugh*

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

I personally really enjoyed the story of the unrequited romance...it gave Martha a chance to develop as a character and gave her more dimension.

Ermm...gonna have to split this one up a bit.

[Lucille7777]

To HogwartsHonorRoll,

We will always disagree on this but if Freema were White, this unrequited love and generally disrespectful performance by David Tennant towards Freema Agyeman would have never been tolerated. When has Doctor Who in it's entire history brought on a beautiful companion just to make her life miserable and insult her? Never before until Freema Agyeman's Martha character was created.
