I dub this AU That Needs To Happen. All that's missing is that Brendon tries to fix whatever he broke on the console with gum and Ryan trying to walk around in the fourth Doctor's get-up ^__^
True, very very true, and that's why I love Donna so much. RTD's got such a hard-on for the Doctor that it bleeds into all the companions he'd written--Rose, Martha, Jack--but with Donna that rules were laid down from the beginning: no fancying allowed. I myself am trying to catch up on the Classic Who series (almost done with Five, a Doctor I decided to start with after Time Crash dragged me without protest into the awesomness that is Doctor Who). Not that I have anything against any of the New Who companions, esp. Rose because there's a ton of wank about her and I, frankly and unashamedly, love her to bits, but knowing there's an almost mythological history of the series, I never once thought that Rose would overshadow the entire universe, even though I'd not seen anything but the new series.
Regarding Martha and her Torchwood eps (and her return DW eps), I rather like companions returning in any capacity, and her and Jack reminiscing briefly about the Doctor was nice, kind of like a worn pair of jeans. It almost made me want to watch series three again, but I wasn't sure if I could handle Daleks in Manhatten/Evolution of the Daleks again :/ Freema is most definitely not the best actress, but she does have her moments of passable-ness.
Long comments are my favorite--I don't have enough people on my flist that are DW/TW fans ;__;
