To BurnGorman, From what I've heard of from the Commentaries on the DVD as well as what I've read from other sources, RTD created Martha Jones as a Black character, so I assume any Black actress given the role would have been treated similarly.
To CrazyOnDoctorWho, My problem dear is that the show didn't have to go there, but they did so with a caveat that the Doc could not possible love Martha. They could have turned it around since Martha has so much going for her and shown that she could never love him. Instead they chose to humiliate and mock Martha. I believe the people who made those decisions are racists in their hearts. Freema herself was not treated very well there either, and she bolted to ITV to do Law and Order.
CrazyOnDoctorWho, There you go again, insulting me when your incapable of defending your argument. You never answer any of the questions I pose, you just attack. So they tried to make it right by giving Martha a doctor as a fiancée, big deal. While the Doctor is feeling so guilty (about nothing I guess), and confessing all to Donna, does he ever consider apologizing to Martha herself? He didn't apologize to Martha in the few episodes she did in Series 4. In fact the Doc barely looked at her.
CrazyonDoctowWho, Just because the Doc knew that Martha would be useful to him as a companion doesn't mean he's not racist. He completely dogged her and yet every White woman he met previously, during and after Martha he treated with greater respect than he did her. Intellectually, ethically, Martha possesses the highest standards that he's ever had in a companion and he did use romantic tactics to bring her to bear, but then changed his tune later, as if there was something wrong with her.
So what are they trying to say, that anyone is better for the Doctor than Martha? With all do respect to the actress who played the Matron, her character can't hold a candle to Martha, but it seems the Doctor is willing to latch onto anyone romantically as long as their White, and not Martha, so why did he bother flirting and pursuing Martha? Also, why didn't he kiss Martha on the forehead or even lick her cheek instead of a lingering kiss than later telling her "that was a genetic transfer."
CrazyOnDoctorWho, Oh right, and the writers are the one's to ask about whether or not their racists? They wrote that crap in the first place. The Doctor should have taken that rubber face of his and found a White woman from the get-go instead of using an innocent, intelligent, professional woman like Martha, who, on his best day (Timelord or no), he'd be lucky to find such a woman who would accept him and his madness.
To CrazyOnDoctorWho, The difference between us is that you idolize the Doctor and believe hes perfect, incapable of human racist tendencies; I disagree.
Oh my gosh. That was amazing! Nice thinking! It's brill!
lmao first one i see with this song lol gotta fave this one lol 5/5
