Martha is the captain now... | Torchwood | "Reset" | 2x6 | REACTION

[@TheAppeyes]

"I felt her essence coming in" - - That's the power of a good character theme, Martha's playing just before she enters.

[@MrTheebs]

Ah, Martha. A very underrated companion at the time, but recently, I feel like people have come to appreciate her more.

[@Venemofthe888]

I honestly thought she was better than Rose was even at the time tbh. She really grows on you too

[@MrTheebs]

@@Venemofthe888 Same, I'll always choose Martha over Rose. But it was (and still is) an unpopular opinion

[@HuntingViolets]

@@MrTheebs@Venemofthe888 Me too. Yes, still run into haters or even the "backhanded compliment" people and the "I liked her better when she left" people. Ugh. Martha is a goddess.

[@radoczgyorgy2361]

@@MrTheebs And I wouldn't choose anyone else over Rose! (of course this is also an unpopular opinion)

​​@@radoczgyorgy2361It's like they took Tens bias for Rose too seriously!

[@cooluncle4242]

I had to laugh when you said Owen is starting to grow on me, and then he gets shot and dies. Like you, I wasn't his biggest fan, but that ending was shocking. It was great seeing Martha, and that's one of the things i liked about having the Dr Who related shows is we can see companions after they leave and getting on with their lives.

[@TheHallokween]

I like to think that Adam's mind tricks and changing of Tosh's and Owen's personalities is what allowed tosh to be confident enough to say that to Owen and Owen to be soft enough to accept. I feel like deep in their subconscious they remember how they felt. Owen remembers what it felt like to love tosh and not have it returned and tosh remembered her self worth and her confidence. (Simialry to how Gwen kind of remembered Torchwood after taking the amnesia pill in episode one)

[@lucasmilano8792]

I think the reference to her knowing how to be invisible was not about how the doctor looked right through her but more about how she spent an entire year using the tardis key to travel the world unseen or unnoticed by most

[@therealpbristow]

Or maybe both? =:o}

[@Dracandre]

So glad she got a bit more time to shine through Torchwood, underated companion

[@stephjovi]

I was so hopeful when the rumors came she'll be in the spinn off. Sucks that it was just rumors.

[@Pablo-hj1rt]

@@stephjovi you never know, they might be keeping her inclusion officially under wraps. here's hoping!

[@stephjovi]

@Pablo-hj1rt or she didn't want to after some racist reactions (lots of white cast members, one black former companion and they talked about replacement vs)

[@ThomasCostigan]

​@@stephjoviWtf are you going on about?

[@stephjovi]

@@ThomasCostigan there are some KZbin channels only dedicated to talking racist crap and many Facebook comments.

[@HuntingViolets]

So great to see Martha again!

[@clairesizer4057]

Fun fact the actor playing professor copley is Alan Dale. He maybe known in America for a few roles. But is actually Australian and was in Neighbours where he played Kylie ( Asdrid perth from Doctor who Titanic episode) Dad! Wibbly Wobbly timey wimey

[@Mandrozani]

It’s been a while but wasn’t he Scott’s dad?

[@clairesizer4057]

​@Mandrozani . Think you may be right lol. I was a child during this eara of neighbours, before being the biggest Kylie and Jason fan! 😂😂

[@stephjovi]

I totally agree. I always feel sorry for the Wevels. They come from a different world and just get locked in a basement. They didn't want to be there

[@PompeyDave-w6m]

Martha seems to galvanise the team, and it was a surprise to see her? The theme was a bit of a giveaway. I liked her relationship with Jack, and the way she related to the team. It was a massive shock to see Owen killed in such a pointless way by Jim Robinson from Neighbours. It does remind you of the dangers they face with Torchwood.

[@Venemofthe888]

Honestly i really like Martha and to have her come into Torchwood was another nice bit of connection Russel had between his 3 shows. This period of the Whoniverse is probably my favorite cause it shows a universe where fights are going on even when the Doctor is away. Martha is one of my favs and the fact she chose to leave the tardis by her own choice unlike was Rose who was forced out.

[@nedzed3663]

What surprised me about her showing up was how long she stuck around. I was hoping she'd become a regular. It was so pleasant having her back

[@Andy-wl6xy]

Martha! ❤👍

[@marq1609]

best episode run of Torchwood starts here

[@stephjovi]

Martha has walked the earth for a year. Trying to stay invisible to the Toclaphane but spread the message about the Doctor. She's been through a lot, her parents living with having been enslaved by the Master for a year. Than returning to a world it is now the year that never was (title of a book about Martha walking the earth for a year) people don't remember she can't tell people what she's been through

[@HuntingViolets]

A goon? I know there's a book and a radio/Big Finish story.

[@siskoid]

Whenever there's a character you don't like, and there's an episode that makes you like them after all, that's probably the episode they die in. TV truism.

[@SoTOreo]

me thinking they were gonna kill martha in this episode and being like no you didnt bring her in here to kill her in a spin off..... then we go and kill owen instead after making him more likable... this show

[@gestaltdude]

I hate to say it, but the fac that Owen was changing should have been the give away that something was going to happen to him. It's the oldest trope; let someone who has struggled start being happy with themselves, maybe having a budding relationship with someone, before something happens to them. A line from the novelization of the Third Doctor story Invasion of the Dinosaurs. "Beware people who know they are right, like Oliver Cromwell. For the good of Humanity, those people sometimes do murder." This is Copley; convinced what they are doing will benefit humanity, as well as vastly enriching himself, he has made himself comfortable with killing to protect the project. Speaking of Aaron, it is always so weird for me seeing Alan Dale in roles like Torchwood and the MCU. To me he'll always be Jim Robinson from the very first episode of Neighbours, an Australian TV soap opera that started in the mid-80's.

[@bombseel]

Mother Jones!

[@AngieDeAguirre]

Ah... Here we go!

[@lizardkingsliwinski4031]

This may be a hot take but I think Martha's better in Torchwood than in Doctor Who!

[@cooluncle4242]

I get that. I liked her as a companion, but the crush on the doctor could be annoying, and she is a lot more rounded character in Torchwood

[@davidjrandall1979]

@3:04 Foreshadowing much?

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍MARTHA!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍M

2:50 “you know what? i felt her presence” no you didn’t, you thought we were getting the slitheen back like 10 seconds prior

[@jacobhogan3208]

Eee

[@stephjovi]

Spoilers ..... Since they say her body has been influenced by time travel and she ended up with Micky, if they had kids did those kids become, well not River bc they weren't made in the Tardis but at least maybe a little different longer life span?

[@crispysquidoftheacidcats295]

if it's spoilers don't post it come on

[@twiceravenpuff]

@@crispysquidoftheacidcats295 They literally gave a warning so anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled could not be unless they click read more? Why is that a problem?

[@csmadisun]

@stephjovi I 100% refuse to accept that Martha and Mickey actually got together. That was just banter. You don't dump the devil, damn it!

[@cooluncle4242]

​@twiceravenpuff the problem can be that other people comment and give away spoilers

[@stephjovi]

@@csmadisun 😂but Micky is someone who knows the Doctor he understands more. She can tell him about the year that never was and he'll get it.
