Martha vs. Rose

This is for my group.

Who do you like better, Rose(Billie Piper), or Martha(Freema Ageyman).

Let's weigh the differences. Rose was with the Doctor longer than Martha is, because she is leaving at the end of this season. Rose was the type of person who would go off and randomly explore, even in the early episodes of season Martha on the other hand, sticks close to the Doctor. The Doctor, however, my friends and I have said this, seems a little more attached to Martha, seeing as he let her share her bed on the second episode of season three. Whether or not not this will be a big player in the future, nobody knows.

Group members, post your feedback on this post or leave a comment, I would love to hear your thoughts on this topiic.

Well keep in mind that Martha is coming back in Series Four of Doctor Who (BBC has confirmed this), so she will end up having close to the same screen time, even if she doesn't get picked up for Series Five (Hopefully).

Martha has been more of staying on the Doctor's coattails than Rose, but the Kiss (Smith and Jones) and the bedroom situation (The Shakespeare Conspiracy) were both due to unusual circumstances, rather than any romantic feelings of the Doctor (Martha is another story) and this is confirmed when Martha leaves the Doctor (The Last of the Time Lords) she comes out and says she is leaving because her's is an unrequited love for him.

As for who I liked more I would rate the companions (of the New Series):
Jack Harkness
Rose Taylor
Sally Sparrow
Martha Jones
Donna Noble

I've only seen a couple of episodes of season 3 (damn Australia for being so far behind!) but so far I like Martha better.

I think she is an intellectual equal for the Doctor, is much more confident in herself than Rose, and refuses to allow the Doctor to be superficial just to protect himself. (One of my favourite moments is at the end of 'Gridlock' where she forces the Doctor to discuss what the Face of Boe said through the cunning plan of sitting down and not moving until he talks to her.) I also think she has better one-liners than Rose did:

Doctor: "You can say you've met Shakespeare!"
Martha: "Great, and then I can be sectioned!"

That said, I've only seen the first three episodes with Martha. She may end up irritating me and I'll have to go back to Romana 2 as my favourite companion. ;-)

I liked Rose, but I LOVE Martha.

[this is good]

well Australia is yonks behind you, but I have to say it is a close call, I did like rose overall, but after "human nature" (season 3 episode 8) I have to say martha gets it, she seems extreemely loyal to him, but is still her own person and doesn't trot behind him like a puppy. She disagrees with him frequently, and is a more interesting character.
