There’s no ex-boyfriend, which is a godsend. That doesn’t make her a lesbian, though! Mind you, I was dying to do that, just for the trouble it would have caused!
Russell T Davies previewing Martha Jones in Doctor Who Magazine 373 (via scriptscribbles)
I’m training to be a doctor. Not an alien doctor, a proper doctor. A doctor of medicine. Well that certainly is nonsense. Women might train to be doctors, but hardly a skivvy and hardly one of your colour. Oh, do you think? Bones of the hand. Carpal bones, proximal row. Scaphoid, lunate, triquetal, pisiform. Distal row. Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate. Then the metacarpal bones extending in three distinct phalanges. Proximal, middle, distal.
There’s a lot of things you need to get across this universe. Warp drive… wormhole refractors… You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.
Friendly reminder that Martha was engaged to this guy during series 4 (spring 2008)
and yet by mid-2009, according to Children of Earth, she was on honeymoon, and it was revealed her spouse was Mickey in The End of Time.
Like, damn, she moved on fast.
how do we know she moved on? polyamorous martha confirmed
I’d been thinking about that for a while–Martha seems like the sort of person who’d consider that because A, she’s the kind of nerd who’s, she’s probably read a lot of interesting HP fic and meta and been exposed through some interesting relationship ideas through that, B, her experience of Ten’s lingering obsession with Rose would mean she’s kind of suspicious of the whole “True Love” thing and she doesn’t want anyone to think of her the way Ten thought of Rose back then. She likes to have clear models/prodecures for things but is also interested in exploring and pushing the limits of them, so I think she’d be well suited to that kind of relationship model.
And also, Mickey’s bi, and this wasn’t explored nearly enough, so maybe he had a thing with Tom too.
