Well from *my* point of view that's a pretty neat compliment. Thank you! *g*
The things is... I've watched this show for 3 years now. And until now it's been in the 'entertainment' category. Sometimes good - even great - entertainment, sometimes pretty bad. But it was fun and the people were pretty and the stories could go anywhere.
Only now all of a sudden the themes and layers are jumping out at me, and although I love Teh Pretty still (The Doctor + The Master + Capt Jack = prettiest show since Angel), I've realised that this is not what I'm looking forward to... but it certainly helps! ;) If however all the extra stuff just annoyed me, instead of entertaining me, I'd probably have a much harder time of it.
(I sincerely hope that makes sense...)
Oh and I saw your post. Re. Martha, then she's just doing *exactly* what the Scoobies always did - putting heart above head. And well she did manage to save her brother...
