summary: I'm thinking about how I just want to open up and give and give and give.

spoilers: Through Torchwood 2x08 and Doctor Who 4x13.
notes: This is a (somewhat substantial) reworking of one of the earliest vids I made, and the first I posted publicly. An improvement, I hope, now that I can do things like maintain correct aspect ratios and cut to a different clip every once in a while.

Hee! I love it - I loved the original but this is just beautiful. Particularly loved the early sequence of Martha just looking so joyful at the things she was experiencing - because I think sometimes it's easy for that to get lost amidst how dark Season 3 was.

More generally I also love how you portray the progression of Martha's story. One of the the reasons that Martha is my favourite, is because with the other companions I think the Doctor becomes in one sense a full stop - they experience and learn and develop but once their time with the Doctor is over, that's it - there's nothing else. Which is depressing and heartbreaking. For me Martha breaks that pattern, she continues to grow and move after the Doctor - she's excited for her life after the Doctor, because it's going to be fantastic - and I think you captured that feeling perfectly.

(P.S. I also think that's why there is so much great post-Donna fic - it's not just about fixing her ending, it's about showing that her life can still progress too).

Err... too long - so in short. I LOVE IT!

Yay, I am so glad you enjoyed it, thank you! I completely agree about her overall arc and why I love it so much, even though it is often sad along the way.
