On Martha

[magicallaw]

You know, it's funny. This time last year, after it was announced that Martha would be back in s4, there was nothing I wanted more than for her to stay in the TARDIS and travel with the Doctor again. And now? Now, I'm so happy she left.

Also, it's a little ironic maybe that, out of her, Rose and Donna, she went through the most when she was with the Doctor, but got the happiest ending and the healthiest relationship with him now.

I dunno dude... I really think that DONNA is the companion who has gone through the most with the Doctor. She went from being Donna Noble, just a Temp from Chiswick, to being Donna Noble... the Most Important Woman in All of Creation. She grew into an entirely different person, she completely evolved.

I'm not saying that Martha didn't grow as a person whilst travelling with the Doctor, because everybody does. I don't believe that Martha grew to such an extent that Donna did though, nor did she go through such a personal journey as Donna.
For one, Martha started off with a much better life than Donna, and with a LOT more self-confidence.

JUST MY OPINION THOUGH. And I daresay hardcore Martha fans will disagree completely.

What I meant was that more was asked of Martha when she was companion: Farringham, 1969, walking the earth. Donna and Rose never had to do anything like that, not really.

In terms of personal growth, oh God, Donna wins that race by a million miles. *clings to her*

Yeah but the reason Donna wins in the development stakes is because Martha was already ahead when she met the Doctor, meaning most of Martha's development had nothing to do with the Doctor which is probably why it's outlasted her time with him. Any reset of Martha's time with the Doctor would merely put her back where she had always intended to be anyway: on the way to being a doctor, and sorting out her personal life.
