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.

Oooo, I second that, despite the inevitable wanking that will follow.

Wandered here from lifeonmartha and felt the need to second - or third this:

Would it help if we collectively begged?

Would you believe that we watched it amid a sea of Warhammer and failed utterly to eat the pizza til it finished?

I love her, too! VOGONS yes LOL that's what my brain was searching for :D

Martha is great, and her family's lovely - as well as being handled with a much lighter touch, so far.

The marker-pen X's were awesome, and really made the Judoon excellent, where they might just have been space rhinos in punk kilts. :)

the love child of Wilson & House & Cuddy, banished to England! Or something. The crack, it burns. That said, I really just wanted to ruffle his hair and pinch his cheeks and pit him against Hex. Hex would so win.

Yay Martha! Bring It On, I say!

I simultaneously quite like Lungbarrow and ignore it, seeing as it's obviously completely ridiculous.

Also, I find myself wanting to know the story behind why Emmeline Pankhurst stole the Doctor's laser spanner...

Excellent stuff. I'm compiling a sort of review of reviews of the first ep for dukestreet.org - would you mind if I included a link to this?

I am definitely looking forward to the fic...so very nice to have some fresh canon to put on the fire. And I shrieked with delight when the Judoon marked a Sharpie X on everyones' hands. I feel like doing that to my students as they come into my classroom tomorrow morning...shine a torch in their face and then mark an X on their hand...good lord, I'm a DORK. Of course, I live in the US so the kids would really get scared...

Let the ship sail...it's going to be a fun ride! So much fun to be had this season!
