I don't understand British tabloids.

I really really really do not understand British tabloids. Shouldn't they be writing articles about Madonna's alien baby? I don't understand their obsession with Doctor Who. I don't read them to know for sure, but I don't think American tabloids spend their time writing about what "REALLY AND FOR TRUE WILL HAPPEN ON [insert show] OMG!!!"

I'm not going to even cut this, this latest "spoiler" is so ridiculous. The Sun's claiming that in the final eps, Martha and Mickey get married. Which, if you've even watched S4 of DW and S2 of Torchwood, you know is completely impossible.

Prof Docherty: Well dear, apparently you're supposed to marry Mickey.
Tom: Um, my name's Tom. Who's Mickey?? o_O
Martha: The guy I met once on the TARDIS? Bitch, please.

So to sum up in a question, do writing about nutso spoilers for a TV show really sell papers? (Not linking lest they get ad revenue for this nonsense.)

*remembers alllllllll of the crazy and ill-advised things they have done on Doctor Who*

God, I HOPE that's not what's going to happen!!!!!!!!

Oh, there's just no WAY. In S4 Martha's already engaged to Tom. See the pretty ring?



While RTD's head is full of crack, he doesn't do silly relationship things, like putting two people together just for sensationalism. He's laid fairly lengthy groundwork on Martha/Tom, and he's not going to suddenly switch that.

This is just the Sun being the Sun.

OKAY GOOD. THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT, BUT STILL — PEOPLE BREAK ENGAGEMENTS.

:D

I think that would be blasphemy in RTD's world. I mean, here's the guy who even put alt!Pete and Jackie together. Once he's drawn hearts around something, it usually sticks. :D

That is true! ;)

I wanna see (or at least hear! if they can't get Tom Ellis back) about Martha and Tom being married, or still engaged. There was nothing last time. Hmmppfff! Tom actually made me care about Martha.

I'd like to see that too!
