MISTER SAXON!
Anyone else excited that we're finally seeing some direct nefariousness from our villain? Also, is anyone else really not all that smitten with Martha and her family? Or that the doctor is letting her replace Rose mightily quick? |

Mightily quick? I thought he'd been pissing Martha off about Rose for 5 episodes now. He got over Sarah-Jane leaving quicker than that*. When he starts wearing eye-liner and dancing to a funky soundtrack in his head, that's when we start to worry. *He did have a universe to save admittedly. That sort of thing focusses the mind wonderfully.

I guess he has been brooding over Rose plenty long enough -- Mostly, I think I was misplacing my skepticism of Martha as a companion onto the Doctor. And it's true what you say about saving a universe -- always does the trick for me! |

I don't like this family theme they seem to have going - what's wrong with a companion who buggers off and doesn't feel the need to ring their mummy when they're in trouble? :-P

My... antipathy to Rose is well-chronicled (I liked her in the first series, honest, I just wanted to hit her with a shovel for the second one), but I really, really liked Mickey and Jackie. I can't warm to the family, but I love the way they're building up the Mr Saxon thing. The Doctor normally gets over his companions really quickly. "Doctor, I'm leaving!" "Yeah, whatever, I just found a new bird in the street." (Although he was a bit emo over Jo, if the internet is telling me right.) So the emo is a bit weird. The Doctor has always replaced companions really quickly, so, er, the Rose thing? Not normal.

None of the old companions had mobiles, problem solved. They can't really get away with not having a family now. People are bound to ask questions like 'Why doesn't she have a family?'. This is because people are dull. I, for example, like soup. See how boring that is? You'd never catch Peri having a family. Her family having her on the other hand...

They could have an orphan, he/she could sit with the doctor and share their loneliness ;-)

Can't they just go and dig out Ace again? Minus the 'orrid flirtation in The Curse of Fenric, she wasn't too bad... I'm half expecting some sort of "hello mum, I'm on tv!" vs "Calm down, dear. It's a commercial!" the next time Martha picks up the phone... Also: Martha's actor isn't too bad an actor, it's just a shame her character isn't terribly likeable...

Fuck it, the whole thing should turn into the chimney sweep rooftop scene from Mary Poppins complete with tap dancing orphans and cross dressing bisexual midgets sung to the tune of 'Are Friends Electric?' or 'Feel Good Hit of the Summer'. Bob Hoskins involvement is mandatory.
