Wednesday is at least one day closer to Friday?

And no work? sigh.

You know one of the things I hate most from newskool Who? It's this idea that women meet the Doctor and then forevermore are hollow shells without him.

Martha's not exactly hollow, Sarah Jane Smith has totally made a life for herself now and Donna just is really growing on me as a very good character. Martha has grown since the "year that never was."

And yes, the pilot for Sarah Jane was kinda campy, but the show totally takes off from the pilot. It's still aimed for a younger audience, but it's something adults can watch too and still enjoy - especially in that it's in the 1/2 hour old Who serial format.

Donna, when she leaves, I don't think will be hollow. She came into this eyes wide open and will take away an adventure of a life time and maybe we'll see her staying behind on Earth to fight the bad guys like Torchwood or UNIT, but she won't be pining w/ a broken heart after the Doctor. She's too old for that, I think. (And, it's about time we get a companion who's not pining away! Catherine Tate & David Tennant just have this wonderful best friends chemistry that I think RTD won't ruin by making Donna have another unrequited crush on the Doctor.)

Yeah. That's what I thought about Martha.

I don't consider SJA canon. I do consider her telling the Doctor her life was meaningless without him in SR canon.
