I’ve seen people vilify Martha for this—for leaving the Doctor when he was hurting. And I would just like to point out that Martha is hurting too here. Martha just saved the Doctor’s life, and the whole world while she was at it. She spent a full year looking over her shoulder, unable to trust anyone, unable to rest. And before that she traveled for so long with the Doctor, loving him and knowing he would never love her, and it hurt her. All of it hurt. To vilify her for getting out of a situation that could only hurt her because the DOCTOR needs someone is selfish and cruel to Martha, who already gave more than anyone can fairly be asked to give.
