Re: AYRT

Probably because for all of RTD's problems, they weren't that bad? Like, sidelining a black female character in favour of a ship but... also giving her kickass agency to say "fuck this" and leave of her own free will and be awesome? Sorry, but Martha is my favorite and I hate all this shit about her being badly written because I can acknowledge the writing wasn't always kind to her but she was the ONLY recent companion to choose her own ending, and I think that's amazing and gets underplayed in order to rant about how RTD made her into the third wheel.

Agreed with all of this. Martha is my favorite companion from NuWho and it really bugs me how people forget that she had quite a lot of agency. Especially in regards to her ending.

I want to love Martha. But having a character with such potential sidelined for a pet ship, written to love the Doctor and only leaving because she was sick of being second best kind of really pisses me off. You may not see it as that bad, but as the only Comapanion who wasn't white, she was vastly underutilized. It doesn't matter to me that she chose her own ending, she was still the subject of some pretty fucking horrid racism in regards to how much she was sidelined for a character who wasn't even there anymore.

I'd also say she didn't so much choose her own ending since she quit being a nurse or doctor and chased after aliens still, showing the Doctor still had a firm grip on her from afar. Not to mention the fact that, when she did come back, she was kidnapped, cloned and used by the villains.

This. Fucking thank you. So much this.

Martha never left. She wrapped her existence around the Doctor even after she left him. All she did was physically leave. She even left him a fucking cell phone, saying he better come if she calls. Then she deliberately put herself in a job where she'd inevitably run into him again. And in that job, she made a blatant mistake that she should have known not to make. "Oh gee, a higher up wants to meet me in a random far from witnesses, undocumented location and my escorts are acting a little off, oh well, clearly nothing!" And then she spent half of the fucking arc kidnapped while her ~evil clone~ did shit. She was finally released in the final episode of Ten's run.

Davies wasn't any better, he was just a fuck ton more subtle about it which is way more dangerous.
