Hi.
Can we talk about how badass Martha Jones is?
She’s a medical student. The best in her class.
She’s at the hospital doing her medical thing.
There’s this guy. She needs to check his heartbeat.
He has two fucking hearts.
Okay? take that in for a minute.
He has TWO FUCKING HEARTS.
Now we all think this is reeeeeal funny cause we know he’s the Doctor.
But she doesn’t know that!
She doesn’t know that aliens exist!
All she knows is that this normal-looking guy has TWO HEARTS.
And what the fuck does badass Martha Jones do?
She looks him straight in the eye.
She doesn’t scream.
She doesn’t stab him.
She doesn’t recoil.
She just looks up at him, like “what the fuck is your problem.”
Look at those eyes. They aren’t screaming. They aren’t scared. They aren’t even curious.
They just simply say, in a calm and rational manner, “what the fuck is your problem.”
You wanna talk about level-headed in a crisis.
HOW BADASS IS THAT?!
And then he winks at her.
And you know what she does?
She goes “okay, I’ll deal with this later.”
Not “hey supervisor, this man has TWO GODDAMN HEARTS.”
Not “hey world check it out this man is an alien.”
Nope, Martha BADASS MOTHAFUCKA Jones goes “this is not my problem right now. I’ll solve this later.”
Can we get this woman some medals or something?
Maybe make her the first woman knight?
If that isn’t possible…
MAYBE CAN WE STOP TAGGING MARTHA HATE?
Just an idea.
Never thought about it like this. She was always cool under fire, and she always thought on her feet. She wasn’t like all the other Companions being razzle-dazzled and as a result not knowing how to react when situations got dangerous. Martha was still in wonder of it all, but when the going got tough, Martha got serious.
I’m so mad they cheated us out of what could have potentially been a waaay more exciting arc.
