I'm off work sick. Thankfully I'm kept entertained by Doctor Who fandom going nuts over the new promo pictures. I've seen Rose fans call Martha a whore, slut and a chav (oh, the irony!) based on what she looks like. Also accusations that she's a Rose clone. Mm, they're so alike I'll have trouble telling them apart!

More Xena is needed, I think. Curse the strange numbering system of the discs (seasons are split into two volumes each); the DVD-monkeys that blockbuster employ to send out the discs don't understand this so send out part 4 of a season instead of part 1. Poor confused monkeys. They'd rather be back writing Shakespeare.

From the fandom reactions, I'd sort of assumed that we'd had some news about Martha's character. Am I to understand, then, that all this hatred is based on her appearance and the fact that She's Not Rose? Good grief.

And as for Martha, I'm joining the "clone of Rose" bandwagon. It was the dark trousers and shoes that did it for me.

?!

I was about to comment on that.

Apparently, Rose is the only character allowed to wear dark trousers and shoes.
