The Freema Agyeman Appreciation post
Becoming tired of the negativity on the OG, I thought I’d make a list of reasons Freema deserves fangirling.
1. Making 42 a pretty good episode instead of a ‘meh’ one. I particularly love the phone conversation between her and her mother. It really makes the episode for me, especially the last phone call when you can hear the relief and concern in her voice.
(pictures, apart from the Martha/Jack one, are from freemaagyeman.com)
2. Being absolutely brilliant in Human Nature. She takes on the Family, tells Joan where to go, and generally is all kinds of awesome. Human Nature was so, so good. I think it’s probably Freema’s best performance, although all of them are good.
3. The chemistry between her and John Barrowman. It makes me want to ship Martha/Jack.
4. The hurt on her face at “It’s like when you fancy someone and they don’t even know you exist”
5. This bit. In fact, she was great in all of ‘The Sound Of Drums’.
6. She used to be a Trekkie!
7. She understands the fans, never has a bad word to say about any of us, and geniunely seems to love her job and the show.
That’s seven- add your own. :D

Title: The Most Incredible Thing Ever
Author: sarah531
Rating:: PG
Fandom: Doctor Who/Indiana Jones
Spoilers: Major ones for Crystal Skull
Notes: Set somewhere between 42 and Human Nature. Probably less cracktastic than it should have been. :p This would not have been possible without drakyndra and her post here. :D
Summary: Martha Jones meets her great-grandfather.
(no subject)
One more thing about Torchwood: this is only a rumour, but if true it’s so awesome it deserves it’s own post.
It has been speculated that at the end of Series 4, Martha and Mickey leave with Jack, and they become the new Torchwood employees. My two favourite characters, not only interacting, but they get their own show!
SO MUCH AWESOME if it’s true…
Random Doctor Who thoughts
(hopefully S3 spoilers are vague enough?)
1) You know…Martha’s ‘So this is me, getting out’ reminds me a lot of the Ninth Doctor’s ‘This is me, swanning off!’. I wonder if they did that on purpose.
2) Have been wondering if Sally Sparrow’s journey in Blink parallels Martha’s journey across the whole series. You know, I think it does. Will ponder this.
3) You know what I would change about Doomsday? Rose gets saved from the void in the exact same way, but it’s Jackie who does it, not Pete. Would’ve rounded her story off nicely…
Doctor Who: Utopia
OH MY GOD ETC
HE’S THE MASTER I CALLED IT TWENTY MINUTES IN AND I WAS RIGHT YAY ZOMG HE’S NOT ALONE!
Ahem. Er.
So much hyperactive adoration for:
-‘Oh, she was blonde!’, and Martha’s jealousy slowly rising a little. I want so bad for Martha to meet a hologram of Rose, or something, in the finale. Coming face to face with this apparently godlike girl…
-John Simm as the regenerated Master! And he was playing it really…childlike, like all of Ten’s not-so-great qualities (the childishness, the ruthlessness…) taken to the extreme.
-Martha in general. She’s still awesome.
-JACK and his immortality angst and his apparent need to strip in dangerous situations
-The conversation between Jack and the Doctor re: immortality angst
Damn, that was brilliant.
