Totally agree. I love your posts. I'm sorry this got wanked. (!!)
I think Martha should DEFINITELY have been better written -- but if their purpose was really to do what you outline here, then maybe they knew what they were doing. I'm not sure how much credit I should give the writers, though. :P
Martha was someone who liked the life he offered, thought he was attractive, but didn't seem to know or like him very much as a person.
That's interesting! I think Martha didn't really KNOW him or the life he offered, but she put him up on a pedestal anyway. I'm sure Martha subconsciously ignored a lot of things because she had that instant, kind of hard-to-understand head-over-heels crush on him. There was definitely something strange about Martha's attraction, but I think she liked him as a person, definitely.
I love the point, too, about how the Doctor can't be with a doctor. ;) Rose challenged him because she was so very different. And I LOVED that they chose to make her less educated and less high-class, because it proves that you don't need a degree or a spaceship to be smart and amazing.
