I think that they may have gone a little too far in the other direction. Because I felt that Martha was in an emotional holding pattern from the end of Gridlock to the beginning of Utopia and it was a little boring to see the same kind of stuff from her week after week.

Plus, with Martha, they took away the strength of the character we met in Smith and Jones, turned her into someone much more insecure than she'd originally come off as, and had her 'develop' so that she could end up in the same emotionally-strong place that we'd met her in at the beginning. Martha is my big disappointment from RTD (much like The Girl in the Fireplace was my big disappointment with Moffat), because I know he can do better.
