Whoever made the decision to bring Martha Jones into the Torchwood storyline made the right move. We already know that she comes back to the good Doctor in the new series.
Not only do we get more information about Martha having become a member of UNIT, the military division featured heavily in the old series’ of Doctor Who, but we see that she’s less naive than she was when she travelled with David Tennant’s Doctor.
Miss Jones is still pretty straight-laced compared with her highly-sexed Torchwood colleagues, but she’s become much more confident since her last encounter with The Doctor. She handles Jack with more authority than you’d give her credit for. Maybe because she knows his fate as the Face of Boe?
Considering Martha was such a weak character during her first season in Doctor Who, the writers have done a brilliant job of resurrecting her. Let’s hope she keeps her new traits when she resurfaces in the next series of Doctor Who. And kudos to Freema Agyeman for evolving her character so deftly without losing Martha’s original spirit.
