OH MARTHA JONES. :( My roommate and I spent the entirety of Season 3 wanting desperately to like Martha, and every time we started warming to her, she'd say something flaky and start mooning over the Doctor and we'd facepalm and shake our fists at the writers. I loved her like burning when she was on Torchwood, because she wasn't defined as a character by her relationship to/with the Doctor. I was really disappointed with the way she was written for most of her stint on DW, because she did have that potential for unspeakable badassery, and every freaking time, the writers fucked it up. But that's my take.
I like writing her myself, because then she can have all the rock and none of the wangst. :D
