This is the last story on Myspace I'll ever tell. (Okay, maybe not.)

I may very well build a shrine to blog!Martha after this is over...

So, yeah, I'm still here.

As is Myspace. Thank. God.
Still remembering what I saw. Remembering what happened. Remembering what I did. And trying to make that choice.

Remembering is neat. It's like pictures in your mind.
Okay, so I got up to the bit where the Master left us billions of years in the future.

Audience: Wow. Blog exposition.
The Doctor, me and Jack followed him back to Earth. Back home. It was so bad. Looking back, I remember just how helpless I felt and how I saw things that nobody should have to see.

Jack actually grabbed the Doctor's ass. I mean, went and grabbed it! And then the Doctor just kinda stared off into the distance, not seeming to notice. Maybe if Jack was a blonde?
And how we ended up just having to hide to try and survive.

Which at least gave me and Jack the chance to get the Doctor to tell us the truth about the man who ruined everything.

Well, I made Jack get the Doctor to tell us the truth, since I had to remind him of my name earlier on.
He's like the Doctor gone wrong.

Right down to the blonde. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
Another Time Lord but broken. I still can't get my head around how he was Professor Yana. The Professor was so brave and sweet but behind it all was this monster.

Who liked cookies.
The Doctor wanted to save the Master. And me and Jack – we wanted to kill him. I'm guessing that makes us the bad guys but we're only human.

I'm not sure where exactly I'm going with this, but it's something about killing and being human and the Doctor's mancrush on the Master...
Yet, considering what happened... I'm still wondering whether I had the right idea. Which is such a terrible thing for me to think. But then again, you don't know what happened next.

Wondering? Hell! I had the right idea! Has the Doctor even *seen* the classic series? YEESH. I should have saved the DVDs from the flat. Oh, my flat! *sobs*
The thing is, the Master was Harry Saxon. He travelled back in time and he was Saxon all along. And that's so strange because, I know who Saxon was. I knew about him before I met the Doctor. I watched him on telly and everything. It's like that timey-wimey stuff all over again.

Sorta. I mean, it's pretty straight-forward if you give it half a second, but, you know, ON THE RUN!
When I watched him on Newsnight, the day before I met the Doctor, he was the Master. He knew then who I was. And when I left, he used my family. He took them and used them to get at me. To get the Doctor. And for me it's been months but for them? It's only about a week. I suppose, if I'm going to find a bright side in all this, that's quite funny really. It wasn't the best week the Jones family have ever had. Leo's birthday, Lazarus' party, end of the world. Yeah, dead funny.

Although, the shrimp puffs at Lazarus' party were pretty damn tasty...
So, the Master brought these creatures to Earth. They were called the Toclafane and... and I still can't believe what they really were.

Oh, I am such a horrible tease. Tee hee!
The things they did to people. Obviously, you saw the President being murdered but that was just the start of it. The world as we knew it ended and I was on my own. Oh I remember how I used to pray for a bit of peace from my family, from Julia, from Stoker and my mates and... well, I guess the Master gave me that.

Hold on. Why exactly am I trying to fight the Master again?
He won. He had Mum and Dad and Tish. He had Jack. He had the Doctor. And I had to leave them all behind so I could save them.

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but now armed with two interns from the hospital and a stack of tongue depressors, I'm starting to think Jack might have been a better plan...
And I watched as the world burned. The sky orange with fire. The trees covered in ash. The streets red with blood. And I can still hear the screaming. It's there in my head and I don't think that'll ever go away.

Audience: *pats Martha*
What feels like so much more than just a few months ago, I started this blog with "Hey – my name is Martha Jones and this is the story of my life."... now I'm going to really tell you that story. A life none of you know about.

'Cause the reset button's gonna get hit at the end of this next episode, I just KNOW it.
I'm going to tell you the truth about what happened to Martha Jones.

Before the reset button. *nods*

Aww, she was sadly un-wanky this week. *pout*

Is it just me or did she just basically recap the episode for us this time? I just don't know what to think anymore. I do know I want you to do this to all the blog posts as it makes them bareable.

LMFAO. I'm not sure which bit I find more funny, your replies, or the fact that they totally fit in the crack in my head. I knew there'd be an update. Because, of course, Earth's Superwoman Defender can afford to take time out of her busy schedule to deal with us mortals. It's just common courtesy, really =o

Besides, myspace = TeH R0XoRz.

Course.

Heh. I thought that. Maybe the myspace is there for those who are hard of understanding and need it spelled out.

That's the best thing about it really. You know that in order for it to make sense, at the end of the last episode she somehow updated while Jack and the Doctor were holding back the cannibals, and for this one, the first thing she did when she got back was rush to an internet cafe!

Sigh.

:D

1) How many of Martha's friends are going to be reading her blog while the world is ending?

2) How is it that Martha continues to come off as an even bigger idiot in her blog than on the show? And I'm not just talking about the inconvenient times she picks to update said blog, just...she seems to think she's thinking such grand thoughts when anyone with half a brain would...I don't know care about other people in the world?

3) Reset button does seem like a distinct possibility doesn't it? Don't know if that would be a good thing or not.

I'm going to tell you the truth about what happened to Martha Jones.

Does that mean she's been lying to everyone for the entire season?

Yeah, not a lot to snark about, sadly.

Yeah, she pretty much did a recap. :D

Of *course* there'd be an update! Myspace must be updated, come hell or high water or end of the world!

1) Oh, come on! They'll all be reading! Well, the ones that lived, I suppose.

2) Because Martha's blog is written by a guy who can't write a 20-something med student? :D

3) I just keep thinking it'll happen for some reason. But maybe the only ones who will know what happened would be the Doctor, Jack and Martha. Sorta like how Father's Day reset and only the Doctor and Rose knew what had really happened.

I'm still thinking reset button. Everything will go back as if the Master hadn't been around maybe? And so the only one who will know about commando!Martha will be the TARDIS crew.

I'm going to tell you the truth about what happened to Martha Jones.

Sounds like "This is the story of how I died". *pushes Martha towards a parallel universe*

Doesn't it? Reset button, reset button, reset button. Martha really needs her flat.

Of course the Toclafane also seemed to be destroying things like powerlines and such, so again...how? Unless she's writing this post reset button in which case no one's going to believe her and they'll probably think she's nuts and I think a lot of other stuff's probably changed at that point.

Though my thoughts on the reset button are that it should snap the world back to last Christmas or so, in which case we can return to the Doctor and Rose show right? Because I think Saxon's probably had a hand in Torchwood for a while so couldn't they say Doomsday didn't happen? Please?

It was a nice flat! It had weird camera angles, but I liked it!

I can't see how there would not be a reset button. One tenth of the population dead? Come on, they can't leave it like this.

But it's *Myspace*! Truth happens on Myspace! ;)

And I'd kinda doubt it be *that* much of a reset button. Besides, they're *finally* giving a bit of Martha character development, and I swear they'd better not erase that. Reset button, but with Jack, Martha and the Doctor coming out knowing what happened, please.

Yeah, that's been kinda my feeling. Plus when you haul out things like "Paradox Machine," you *know* the solution is going to look like they were smoking a giant mound of crack when they wrote it...

I know, I doubt they'd reset it like that, but still, in my mind that's what a big reset button ought to do. Realistically, probably only cover these last couple days, maybe only after the Toclafane ripped open reality even. Not the whole of Saxon's existence, that's just what I want so that I can have the Doctor and Rose show back.

Though if they could manage to cover the inconsistencies at the end of Torchwood that would be nice too (points at your icon. Why is there wind inside Torchwood if the TARDIS isn't there? And I'm pretty sure he left the hand behind).

OOOH! I know! The wind inside Torchwood is from that pterodactyl they've got flying around! ;)

Seriously?

THAT is how it's written?

Martha is articulate. The person who wrote that is not.

And this was one of the better ones. :D

D/R Shippers: CHIPS!! *SQUEES*

LOL! The sad thing is, we did. *g*

Wondering? Hell! I had the right idea! Has the Doctor even *seen* the classic series? YEESH. I should have saved the DVDs from the flat. Oh, my flat! *sobs*

ROTFL. It was a nice flat, though. I'd be bumming, too. Not to mention all her underwear was in there. And it was even clean!

(Though apparently still damp when they came back 12 hours after she'd first left, since it was still hanging up when they came back four days after that ... you'd think she'd grab the underwear off the drying rack first when she packed, wouldn't you?)

And when I left, he used my family. He took them and used them to get at me. To get the Doctor. And for me it's been months but for them? It's only about a week.

Actually, it's only been four days, Martha. You said so yourself, when you invited the Doctor and Jack up to see your etchings ... er, I mean, to use your computer.

(Sheesh, does the guy who writes this even watch the episodes? What, do they just give him a quick summary or something? At least give the man a final copy of the script!)

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but now armed with two interns from the hospital and a stack of tongue depressors, I'm starting to think Jack might have been a better plan...

*sporfle* OK, you owe me a new keyboard after that one. LOL!!

Hey, maybe that guy from the preview is one of the interns! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! ~~And if we're really lucky, he can play David to Martha's Susan and we'll never hear from her again.~~

What feels like so much more than just a few months ago, I started this blog with "Hey – my name is Martha Jones and this is the story of my life."... now I'm going to really tell you that story. A life none of you know about.

OK, clearly Martha needs a new DayTimer for Christmas -- her calendaring skills are in great disarray. Let's see, several trips with the Doctor, then 3 months in 1913, then several more trips over enough time for her to become arrow-girl, then a few weeks in 1969, then several more trips with the Doctor for her to get over having to work in the shop (quel horror!), then meeting up with Jack. Has it really only been "a few months" since you started blogging, Martha? Really?

Heh, I love your responses, and yeah, I'm so going for the reset button at the end. But why oh why can't they reset it back before Doomsday???

LOL! The sad thing is, we did. *g*

Uh huh. :D

Sheesh, does the guy who writes this even watch the episodes?

I'm thinking that's a 'no.'

*sporfle* OK, you owe me a new keyboard after that one. LOL!!

Mwah!

Hey, maybe that guy from the preview is one of the interns! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! ~~And if we're really lucky, he can play David to Martha's Susan and we'll never hear from her again.~~

She might just be able to find happiness with mystery dude...

Has it really only been "a few months" since you started blogging, Martha? Really?

Yeah, seems more like around a year for some reason.

Heh, I love your responses, and yeah, I'm so going for the reset button at the end. But why oh why can't they reset it back before Doomsday???

Because then the Doctor's soul wouldn't be crushed and he'd actually be happy? And goodness knows, we can't have that.

Dear God. She actually did it. SHE UPDATED HER F#@%ING MYSPACE. Because that's the first thing that comes to mind when the world is ending: Finding an internet connection and updating your freaking blog.
Sweet baby Jeebus on an unsalted cracker! It's like the Beeb wants us to make fun of her.
At least she didn't sound quite so mentally challenged in this one.
*le sigh*

So Martha took an extra day before she updated her Myspace... well the first thing that came to mind when I saw that she updated was wondering what your comments would be! :)

'Cause the reset button's gonna get hit at the end of this next episode, I just KNOW it.

It keeps looking like it.

I'm going to tell you the truth about what happened to Martha Jones.

Okay now seriously, the writers couldn't have thought of another line. This one completely reminded me of Rose and the "Story of how I died." >_< Maybe it was intentional.

There's really not much to say about this update. As others have mentioned it appears to be more of a recap of what happened in the episode. In my opinion she sounds a bit more "grown up" in this update when compared to the previous ones.

I think it's on the end-of-the-world checklist. Water, food, myspace...

It keeps looking like it.

I just keep thinking like that, even though it would be a cheat.

Yeah.

I just wish that this blog *matched* the character. The blog actually went through character development - are we supposed to lay on this arc on the character? Because the stuff that happened here - this internal conflict of choosing her life or choosing the Doctor just has not happened onscreen. We saw her finally getting a bit freaked out, but still haven't really seen this on the show.

Would be nice.

I doubt it. But then again, for me to take this blog character development seriously, it would depend on RTD's control over the blog. I personally think that if RTD had a bit more input into the blog we would get the matching that we want.

Yep.
