I ship Doctor/Martha.

Oh my god.

It was that last two-parter that did it; she's so capable, so awesome, so in love and so bound for disappointment (again and again). Her feelings don't make her useless. I wish I could make a thoughtful review, but I don't feel like it and I just really loved it. And Martha's situation just *got* me.

I ship them in the way I shipped Mulder and Scully--I yearn for it but I don't want them together in canon, because that would probably ruin it. I'm content with fannish satisfaction of these urges. But I'm sure I never thought I'd care even that much.

Whoa, I haven't watched the last two yet. Now I must.

Don't you love it when you start shipping against your will?

That's what happened to me with Mulder/Krycek.

Is Martha the new companion for the new season?

Did you buy Rose as someone who wanted it?

I buy Rose that way, except sometimes I find it a bit annoying because it feels like "OMG I get 2 travel r0x0rz!!!1!" and less... discovering new life and civilizations and boldly going where no teenage British girl has gone before.

Rose was all "this is a life I'd never have had," like an escape, right?

Exactly. Which is really really easy to identify with, but sometimes I want to shake her and say, look, it's so much bigger than you. Which I think Rose does understand, just sometimes it irritates me. I quite like her, though.

Right now I am partway into both S1 and S2 because I am watching S1 on TV and S2 on dvd. I just watched an S1 ep that finally explained who Jack is, and I was very seriously amused by him. Amusement is serious business!

Rose is still in many ways a child.

Yeah. And I'm wondering whether I like her better in S1 than S2 because the Doctor in S1 looks older and the teenage girl/older guy is *such* a kink for me. HA for I am shallow.

I don't know anything about the One True Companion business. Today I watched one from S2 where they meet Sarah Jane, and I thought it was really, really cool (but I don't really know old school Doctor Who so fans of the Fourth Doctor or whoever might've felt differently).

I don't know who Barrowman is yet, I don't think.

*jumping in randomly*

the shippy stuff with sarah jane is a retcon, but at least it's a convincing one, and a possible one! i remember when i was watching the end of planet of the spiders and sarah has been hanging about UNIT for several weeks waiting for the doctor, who most everyone thinks is already dead, and she is pacing about hugging one of his shirts. so, yeah, she loved him, and one could debate endlessly about the possible or non-possible romantic nature but at least it makes sense.

but the only ship i care about is holmes/moriarty, which is utter crack, so take my responses with a large grain of salt. generally most of the shipping stuff in the new series i tend to wish wasn't there, because i don't want the producers telling me how to interpret the characters, damn it all.

i do enjoy a few others, but actually care about? not so much. meanwhile, holmes/moriarty is ridiculous so i don't care if other people even know it exists.

dear production staff: please to not be thrusting russell t. davies' completely acceptable and understandable crush onto every other character in the show. many thanks. the prof_

I prefer Martha to Rose actually-I think she's awesome!
