Pretty pics and very nice recap. 69. I worry that next week will be “Martha’s story” and I don’t want that. Yes I want her to have more character and I don’t mind if she kicks ass in the finale (she will never be as bad ass cute as Rose standing up to the Cult of Skaro), but the whole season has been the Doctor’s story, and this is his enemy. Yes he needs the help of his companions (that’s always a good message) but it would not be right to have the Doctor and Jack sit and wait for Martha to save the day. Even though obviously Rose is the one who finally saves the day in PotW, we weren’t exclusively following her story to that point, and that’s what I’m worried next week will be, just to try and convince us that Martha actually is useful and worthy etc. Now if it had been Martha and Jack, I could have watched them running around trying to save the day I think, there could be big discussions going on with the Doctor and the Master and the action could be Jack and Martha and Torchwood, but with the groups as they are…nope won’t be interested in Martha getting all the action.
I am so with you there. She just does not interest me at all. We've had virtually zero development all series for her, now we're supposed to jump for joy now she's gotten her act together? Meh. I'll pass, thanks.
Also, *if* I do one of these next week (and damn if I didn't turn this into a much bigger project than it started as) maybe I'll have sorted out a better way of doing it. I do think I'm now less likely to go back and do previous episodes than I thought I was.
Bwah! It's very time consuming isn't it? Hee! I haven't had one that's taken less than a day and a half to put together. Although, I've gotten into a pretty good routine, so although they are getting much longer as the season comes to an end, they don't take much more time to do than when I first started.
