And she wasn't obsessed with the Doctor. God, as much as I like Martha, her crush on the Doctor was awful.

She was obsessed with the Doctor. Remember the s4 pilot? But I agree that Donna not carrying a torch for the Doctor was a refreshing--albeit brief--change of pace.

Obsessed, but not in love with. She made it very clear she wasn't attracted to him in that episode and that didn't change. She just wanted to travel with him and have fun. (And she packed luggage for it. God, Donna was awesome.)

God, Donna was awesome.

She really was.

Agreed. Martha was great in the beginning, but I do wish they'd diluted the pining by a factor of five.

Agreed. I loved Martha, but the pining and the jealousy just made so much of her season painful to watch for me.

This. It's the way male writers emasculate interesting, strong female characters: Martha was a fascinating replacement for Rose, until they made her crush on the Doctor so obvious and in-your-face and it made her act stupidly. That last made it inevitable viewers would quickly lose their interest in her.

I have loved all the companions of the new Doctor Who, but as soon as one of them started 'falling in love', first Rose, then Martha, Jack Harkness, I lost all interest in them. I also hated the will-she-won't she game with Amy...

That is why Donna, Wilf and Williams Snr. are the very best of the lot: I really wish Wilf or Williams Snr. could have stayed on for more than a couple of episodes, and could have been the official, full-time companion for a couple of seasons. That would have been great!

Or heck, why not bring back the Shalka!Master: that would be a companion who would throw a spanner in the works... :D
