I've come to the conclusion that I hate Tim's speech in FoB (even if I can't call it untrue) because no one comes in after to say the he also likes greasy chips and cakes with edible ball bearings and those are the details that make him real, and that would have made it so much easier for John to relate and accept what was happening.
Oh, I hated that speech, especially when they ran it over the season trailer. Fans were all asquee about how goshdarn COOL it was and...no. He's not a god. He's a man, even if a very powerful one and it's dangerous for him to be treated like he is. It's why I think Rose *was* good for him, because he was so human with her. It's why Martha couldn't convince John to open the watch and Joan could. All she could say is that he was everything to her, even if he didn't see her.
But then, I also had to think during LotTL that Rose would have found a way to tell the Master to go f*ck himself even if it was a kid's show and never knelt before him.
Yeah, I get that in-story the explanation was that she did it in order to fool the Master for the necessary time. And the Doctor and Jack and all of the Joneses-all of earth, in fact-were humbled by the Master, so why not Martha? Still, I didn't like it. Rose had a defiant kind of bravery that made her so sympathetic. I can't believe she doesn't get more props for the way she backtalked the Daleks in Doomsday.
