Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think she was better than Rose. She was (like I keep saying) more like a classic series companion and she was what made that episode better than last years christmas special, and her show's better than other sketch shows such as Little Britian and I don't often say something like that. Oh and you have no right to skit peoples accents or peoples acting, nobody does really, except people who write produce and do all that stuff for TV, Film, Radio etc. and people who act in those movies, TV programs and radio shows.

I WILL NOW TURN OFF CAps lock, and pick this apart.
I'll provide one God almighty can't question, and if I can't, by jove I'm gonna try.
Ah, the old Borg response. Just because it's gonna happen doesn't mean us sane people can't rant, or try to do something about it. I'm sure the argument those global warming nutcases always give is fairly similar...
Oh, great, a companion I don't really like, a companion I'm going to hate and a Doctor I wish would be replaced already. Aren't we supposed to agree on how great the next series is gonna be, not cause each other to despair?
OK, and both her voice and that kind of character grate on me so heavily that I'd be quite delightful sprinkled on spaghetti bolognese.
While a break from the over-emotional, overly-epic, live-action fanfiction would be great, turning it into a crappy comedy show is not. Fine, make it silly for one christmas special. At least the "not serious" thing would excuse the fact THEY BURNED A HOLE TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH AND DRAINED THE THEMES AND PROBABLY COOLED DOWN THE CORE in the space of a few minutes. But a whole series of not being serious? Now we're going to have lame jokes, ned humour, the outer limits of psuedo-science and two stupid companions for WEEKS! And she really isn't good for being serious. She has two voices; her normal one and her acting voice. Neither sound at all serious. You could only miss the slightly nasal and totally ridiculous sound of her voice if you were deaf.

Some of them. Most are irritating. Do you, may I ask?
The only reasons I hate her is that she isn't a comedian(she simply shouts the same thing at a television camera repeatedly every episode of her show, the IRL equivalent of DESU spam), she can't do any serious characters(she only has experience doing characters as complex as those you might find in her sketches) and she seems to have only been included in Doctor Who in order to make it more popular among the chav underclass.

To wrap it all up:
1. I already despise her comedy show, which was kinda funny the first time, slightly amusing the second and totally annoying the third time when you realise it's the exact same sketch as last week.
2. So, the christmas specials aren't wonderful. But the one she starred in was particularly not wonderful. To put it bluntly it was awful. This hardly helps.
3. Her acting is as terrible as her comedy. Since all her sketch characters sound the same, act fairly similarly, and look very alike(anyone who quotes this saying "uhh thats coz its the same person dumass" is obviously not quite thinking enough) her act is, and was, very samey. I hate all her other characters. I hate Donna. Tennant, as much as I dislike him being the Doctor, can act. Compare his Doctor to Tate's Donna. Compare the Doctor to Tennant's other work. Compare Donna to Tate's other work. The distinct difference is that Tennant plays a variety of quite well-acted characters, whereas Tate plays the same character with consistant repulsiveness.

OK, so this post was long and messy. And to quote Wikipedia, "[citation needed]". Still I think this gets my point across.

Because I was just getting to like the Ninth when he came along, because there's something about both his serious and silly moments that annoys the hell out of me, because fate has a way of aligning me against the rabid fangirls. Anyway, I don't really hate him anymore. It's more a general dislike now.

I don't hate her, I just don't like her. While certainly better than Rose she goes completely emo over and over again about how the Doctor "never even notices I exist". It gets really old, really quick.

Jeebus beebus, I thought I already explained that in some depth. But to put it simply, Donna is yet another Catherine Tate Show character, and I hate all of those. So therefore, I hate Donna. There's quite a bit more to it though, as will become clear if my previous post is actually read through to the end.


I might just do that. But Doctor Who's been running for a long time, and I'm hardly going to abandon a beloved series without having a good long rant and hoping it might change.

Everyone makes mistakes. And most BBC programs have a tendency to try to appeal to "the youth of today", which is in this case(in their mind, anyway) the chavs. They're beyond help, why even try?

I read your post but still you've seen one episode of Donna who knows she might change...doubtful though

oh and I understand about the 10 doctor. Even though I didn't like the 9th. CE went on to do heroes...something which is wonderful in itself.

oh and about Martha how would you feel about being constantly compared with someone. It's kinda like with Liz from the earlier Doctor's.

well thank you for the clarification then

I think Martha was kinda ignored or over looked as a child and hates to be over looked or compared

It isn't her show you never never know mrgreen

Give her a chance before you bash her completely. She was good in the Christmas Special and she also is a talented woman and extremely hilarious in my opinion.

People always get mad when there is change... but that is something Doctor Who fans should know how to deal with. The show has always swapped companions and Doctors so I don't see why Martha leaving and Donna arriving is so difficult to cope with... I bet she only lasts a season anyway.

Also... since Martha left it open, and we know she is coming back, who is to say that Martha's days are close to being finished. It isn't like they got rid of her character completely like they did with Rose.
