I think, if people are being honest with themselves, that's a part of the disappointment for some, that they were expecting similar dynamics with Ten/Martha to Ten/Rose. Instead RTD decides to do something different, and so it's seen as insulting and racist for Martha to not be as loved as Rose (even though she was loved, just not by the Doctor). People didn't get as angry over the treatment of Mickey (which was more insulting IMO), but Martha was set up as the new female companion, and people had a lot of shippy expectations before she even made her first appearance. And now they're feeling let down I gues

But I would have liked Martha not being in love with The Doctor.

I found her crush unnecessary too. She was set up to be much cooler in S&J when she comments about not gong for aliens. Some of the mopey comments became a bit much, but then I really liked how she played off Jack when he returned, and they're both kind of snarking at the Doctor and his thing for blondes. It's funnier when it's light quips, instead of Martha coming across as all emo.


Although I think I'm the only one that saw ust between them. lol.

Hee, not the only one. marriedonmars has some Ten/Donna shippers :)
