Oh, I LOVE her. That was nigh-on inevitable - there are only about 3 companions across all the TV stuff, the books and the audios that I'm less interested in, possibly meaning I'm very easily pleased - but I thought Martha was wonderful, smart and brave and adventurous and compassionate and I can't wait to see more of her. Bring on the post-ep fic! And the fic about her siblings and family; I get the feeling they're going to be less featured than the Tylers but I liked them a lot, especially the cute sister and the stepmother who seems to bear an uncanny resemblance from Chantelle off Big Brother.

As for the story - loved the Vogons Judoon and their big marker-pen Xs on people's hands, and the weaselly JHO who could easily be the illegitimate English son of Wilson off House, and the vampire with a drinking straw and the Leather Stigs! (Top Gear, for the uninitiated) Beautiful moment when Martha was staring after her family in despair and suddenly the Doctor was there, watching her; just a lovely way for a companion to join.

Oh, and just on TVL "As soon as the Doctor sees Martha, he's thinking 'she could be the one' - he's attracted to her intelligence" - bloody hell, I knew Confidential would be shipping them, but they're leaping in with both feet, aren't they...! It was a lot shippier than I expected. As a multishipping h0r who got into this mad sprawling fandom in the first place because I loved the Nine/Rose subtext in Rose, I approve.

Next week's trailer: someone says 'hey nonny nonny!' I cracked up. Deliberate Blackadder reference, Mr Roberts?

ETA: the Doctor's reference to being in a nursery - dear RTD, the ignoring of Lungbarrow gives me great pleasure. Please continue. :)

Having no icon skills myself, I will go and sit patiently on dwicons till some turn up.

I would certainly believe that. I wish I had pizza...

There's some left?
Although probably not by the time you get back. There is cake though.
Cake of chocolately goodness. With slightly squiffy icing due to me dancing to the confidential. I bet I got some on the Warhammer. I got half the kitchen floor.

Mmm, chocolate. Sounds fun.

You've never seen our house, you should come round some time for cake and watching of stuff!

We have a spare room so long as you don't mind a sofa bed and sharing space with many DVDs :)

[owl]

Not a bit :D
