One crowning moment of awesome: The Woman who Walked the Earth.
I will never, never forgive or get over what RTD did with this. Martha Jones, walks the earth, does all of this amazing, incredibly feat of endurance and survival and rallying the world…
…in order to get them to clap their hands three times and say “I believe in the Doctor”, so that he can turn into Christ and save them all because the Doctor! Magic! Only the Doctor can save them! All of evey thing Martha does is just to make the Doctor super-extra-magical! And he doesn’t save them by being clever or tricky or doing anything other than being super-extra-magical, and everything that Martha did, that she and her family endured, it’s all just rendered meaningless in that moment.
Yeah, I still have feelings about this, as it turns out.
Annoys me too. :/ I could deal with it though, if it actually saved the world. Unfortunately all it actually does is provide a distraction while Jack shoots up the paradox machine. So I just get angry and ignore that as hard as I can.
