I have fallen in love with UNIT sight unseen. I've been researching UNIT on wikipedia and then reading some UNIT fanfics and I am in looooove!
Mostly, I blame
livii.
UNIT is just, they're not perfect but they do the best they can and the Brigadier recognizes he needs a scientific adviser and takes on the Doctor!
I love UNIT!
Back when I didn't even know a lot about UNIT(except from what I've seen in TCI and the love for the Brigadier) and Owen started going on about UNIT as amateurs I immediately saw red. I already disliked him in the first ep but by the second one, oh it was ON. I don't even know why I got all protective over a fictional organization I've only heard referenced.
Maybe because, Torchwood hasn't proven itself to me yet and they're already talking smack about an organization that has good people and done a lot in protecting the world. And to this day Torchwood has yet to prove they could save the world.
I'm still zen but I really should learn to stop checking on DW reviews but I can't help it *shakes head*.
Rose isn't stupid she may not be book smart but she's smart. Martha's older and has a much more steadying influences in her life. No need to go on comparing, they're clearly different people from different backgrounds who both share level heads, inquisitive minds and a sense of wonder.
Like Freema said, apples and oranges.
I do have to wonder what Martha's faults will be since we all know that RTD likes to make his characters human. From Rose, to the Doctor, Jackie, Mickey and look at the people in Torchwood Three who are nothing but big walking Issues.
Mostly, I blame
