I didn't take it as Martha "bashing". I've always tended to like the current characters best, although season 1 Rose has a special place in my affections. The only reason I'm not attached more to Donna is because I'm not interested in new Who in general at the moment. ::shrugs::

I wasn't trying to correct you. My memory isn't detailed enough to rival the knowledge of most fannish people, especially fic writers who obsess about canon, heh. I was trying to be helpful but maybe that sounded like Donna-squee harshing or companion competitiveness, in which case I'm sorry cos I wouldn't want to harsh your obvious fan-happy. :-)
