You think being dumped by text is hard? Imagine being one of the Tenth Doctor's exes (or not-quite-exes, we're counting brutal platonic break-ups here too).

the tenth doctor's super power has to be the ability to not get embarassed because if i were him and i had woken up from a three month coma only to find out i had fallen in love with a racist in front of my black companion you would have to put me back under.

the way it has clearly never occured to doctor who fans how black fans feel about 'human nature' and 'the family of blood.'

joan agreeing wifh martha a couple of times later in the episode doesn't make up for her racial prejudice. watching martha constantly be reinforced to her face that she will never be good enough is not happy viewing. it's supposed to be a reprieve actually, to show in another world they wouldn't work. but clealry these knuckleheads didn't realise that thay DOESN'T WORK when you have positioned her in a RACIST time period. martha and john don't work because he sees her as his LESSER not because they just don't gel together. and john smith despite being referred to as being "kind" to martha and viewing her as his "favourite maid' doesn't come across at all. he is indifferent and barely acknowledges her and is racially prejudiced too.

the cast is amazing but i am not rooting for john or joan and it's almost funny that the narrative expects me to. literally felt nothing at that 'life he could have had' montage. i was too focused on martha, because dammit someone has to be.
