WORD. THAT THEY ENDED UP TOGETHER BOTHERED ME SOO MUCH. Ugh, stupid.

(Anonymous) 2010-02-05 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree with you so much that it almost hurts.

[identity profile] generationxwing.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree wholeheartedly.

To me, it was just another instance of RTD breaking his toys so no one else could use them.

I want to not agree with this secret because I love them both dearly and would have been joyful about them getting together if they had had any kind of interaction before that scene (other than like 30 seconds in JE), but.... yeah.

(Anonymous) 2010-02-05 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember hearing someone around here explain why they really like this pairing in a compelling way, but when it actually happens on the show as opposed to just some people's pet pairing...it's really hard not to see it the way OP does :(

DITTO!

(Anonymous) 2010-02-05 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't believe it was race-motivated and certainly not in any kind of racist way. I don't even see it as pairing up the spares. I think RTD honestly wanted all of his characters to end up happy and had probably worked out a complete backstory for these two in his mind, and we would have seen it had Noel and Freema been available for Torchwood. As it is, of course it is out of the blue and doesn't really work. But I do love the idea of it, and this is exactly what fanfiction is for.

I completely agree... but I did squee a little at that scene because they are super cute together.

Someone said that in the episode/commentary they do for each episode, RTD said it was for the pun, 'Smith and Jones'.

[personal profile] gladdecease 2010-02-05 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...now I'm trying to remember where I heard that he paired them up for the Smith&Jones lulz. :/

I do sort of like the pair, but not the execution. Full third season of Torchwood w/these guys on it, the two of them slowly growing together and getting tired of rules/regulations/etc. would have been appreciated. though one of the Torchwood audiobooks has Martha on her honeymoon with Tom, so...

FUCKING DESTRII.

[identity profile] angathol.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm way behind (season 3) but I've found that this show has more interracial couples than any other fandom I've ever been in. Even the BBC Christmas game had a mixed family at one point. Although I'm not far enough to comment on the validity of Mickey and Martha as a couple, I probably wouldn't really give it a second thought considering how much variety they've shown so far. But that's just me.

I didn't think they ended up together because they were black, I assumed they ended up together because it was the most convenient way to fit them into Ten's never ending goodbye.

[identity profile] oxymoronic.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, RTD. No one found that funny. ):

it is actually my headcanon that he's sat waiting for threads like this on the internet and throwing back his cruel head in cackling laughter. WRRYYYY. WRRRYYYYY. Way to break fandom's hearts D:

Agreed. Frankly, though, I just figured RTD threw them together because it was the easiest way to wrap up their storylines. Still, I found myself caring less about how Mickey/Martha made sense and more about WTF happened to Tom.

(Anonymous) 2010-02-05 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't so much mind them getting together, but I mind that we don't see the justification of her not getting together with her first fiance, or understanding why Martha and Micky got together.

They may have done so because of bonding over their shared experience travelling with the Doctor, but the way it was presented really did smack of "two extraneous characters of same race - naturally they'll hook up".

The Doctor is the only thing they have in common.

[identity profile] allyndra.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't assume it was racist, but it did really, REALLY bother me. There was no set up for it, no chemistry at all. And yes, what about Tom? He wasn't a big character, but his presence in Martha's life had been mentioned enough to make me screech when she ended up with Mickey instead.

(It also breaks my personal canon, where after getting back from Pete's World, Mickey meets this world's Jake, who can love Mickey without comparing him to his dead boyfriend. But I don't think that's why I was upset.)

[identity profile] ateenangel.livejournal.com 2010-02-05 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That bothered me so much!

I love Micky. I love Martha. I did not love this.

I doubt it was the reason, but it really did seem like they only got together because they were both black. >.<

I mean, what the heck happened to Tom?

And seriously, we're supposed to think that mercenary!Martha is a good thing? What the heck happened to being a doctor?

(Anonymous) 2010-02-05 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Did we forget the part where the other new marriage we see in the same episode is inter-racial?

I'll agree that it was kind of lame pairing-the-spares and that doing for the Smith and Jones lulz isn't the *greatest* reason to make a character decision like that (though this is a case of fandom taking something way more seriously than the creator of the canon would ever count on), but racially motivated? I don't think so.
