Doctor Who companions: the good qualities and the bad.
And because I know someone will ask for it:
I was already considering reblogging this photoset because it speaks truth…
AND THEN I CLICKED THE OSWIN ONE
TOO SOON, BRO
*cackling helplessly*
I of course knew where it was going, and still…
Every companion has flaws and everything but guys

Martha
a
pushover
I’d say she is at the start of S3, because she’s the glue holding her whole family together (she’s even nice to her dad’s horrible girlfriend) and she doesn’t call the Doctor out on his behaviour towards her til the end. (Because she’s blinded by love, I guess.)
Basically, I always thought Martha’s journey was learning to come out of a one-sided relationship where it was all her serving the other person’s ego, and finally do whatever she wanted.
I love analysing the set design of Doctor Who, so looking at this makes me so happy- those knick-knacks on the table, do you think they’re things Amy and Rory have picked up from their travels? And there’s so much art on the walls- Amy hasn’t lost her love of art! Or of plants and gardens, look, there’s plants everywhere!
And it’s all blue, the same shade as Amy’s bedroom I believe, or close to it. And, quite significantly, for me at least- there appears to be another picture of a naked woman at the back of the room. (Amy’s bedroom too had one.) Amy’s whole personality is expressed through this room. And that’s not even getting into the lovely picture of the trio, or the Amy/Rory picture we saw in Amy’s Choice sitting there on the mantlepiece. It’s fabulous. I love it!
I love the analysis, but I sincerely hope that Rory’s terrible ponytail is not canonical in the present universe (joking not joking). Although the implications are kind of interesting, especially since that was a dream state….
Also, I’m kind of impressed that the picture of the trio has Arthur/Rory smiling-that doesn’t happen too often on the show!
You’re right about the Amy/Rory photo! It shouldn’t exist! :O Should it?
My mind is slightly blown, although I think it’s an oversight…but still…

Falling into her Dalek-induced hallucination, the first thing Amy sees is a loving couple. The man is returning to the woman and she greets him happily. A reunion with her own loved one is the thing Amy wants most in the world at this point, but she watches with a blank expression.
Then the smiling man gestures to the little girl, who is illuminated by a spotlight. She’s standing at the back of the room, at the end of Amy’s path. In front of her is another couple, laughing together- that thing Amy and Rory aren’t doing anymore. Opposite those two is another man, who seems to be watching them- and Amy and Rory too have a man always watching them-
There’s the little girl. Her hair is red, like Amy’s, and she’s wearing a crown, she’s someone’s little princess. On seeing her Amy smiles, and her expression is (heartbreakingly) one of love and relief.
That girl was probably Hannah, the woman at the beginning’s lost daughter. But I think she might have been someone else’s lost daughter too.
And lastly, Amy’s expression when she ‘looks again’-
Whatever she thought was in that room…she really, really wanted it.
