    That's a great way to tie up two characters but Mickey got on my nerves with his whining.

    Nice:) I never got on with Martha as a character but this would be a nice tie off for two of the Davies-era characters.

    Ok, it's time for my fandom secret. I hope I'm not the only one that secretly wished they'd both end up on Torchwood and get together. I loved them both.

    I'm perfectly ok with unlike the rage Hudlin threw me into marrying Storm to Black Panther.

    @♠ Final ♠: Mickey at first was annoying, but only because we still had interesting Rose and dark, brooding 9th Doctor. But damn, he saved the universe with his big yellow truck! After that, it was him struggling to be more then "that guy" and he moved up to "Tin Dog" levels. And that ain't shabby. But man, by the time Doomsday rolls around he's full on Universe hopping Awesome with a BFG!

    Secretly I too have been hoping for this pairing. I loved Martha and absolutely loathed her hooking up with any other the other characters since I feel they just couldn't keep up with Martha Jones of UNIT! Damn, I just know they won't be on Torchwood, but I still dream. Maybe they'll be listed as being at another Torchwood branch.

    @jbq: RTD came up with the concept for the character, but Moffat wrote his first appearance and so set the template. RTD has written his subsequent appearances in Dr Who. So you could say it's a joint creation.

    I should have said "Mickey and Captain Jack are the RTD-era characters I'd most like to see back."

    I always thought Mickey would join Torchwood. Given Noel Clarkes other ventures into the adult film world (Kidulthood is one). And especially after walking away with Jack and mentioning that he was pretty much lost with nowhere to go after leaving the Alt universe.

    If the rumour rings true, marrying Mickey and Martha could be a stroke of genius by RTD. Think about it. Torchwood are missing 2 (sorry 3) essentially players right now. Tosh and Owen. Owen the gobby Doctor who thought he knew everything, and Tosh....slightly mad, but very calm and level headed. Mickey and Martha could make fantastic replacements in season 3!!!

    Now Torchwood season 3 hasnt been ruled out and Children of Earth was just a 'filler'!! So this could well be the start of a very intresting turn of events.

    No, but really: Ricky had a great character arc, going from door mat to world defender. Really grew to like him, and would welcome him back anytime.

    Mickey didn't seem all that bad to me, but I guess I was just happy that the Doctor was back at the time.

    Ah, these young whippersnappers who have not seen Leela (in particular from the "Talons of Weng-Chiang" episode) know not of what they speak.

    She was an Amazoness who always carried a knife, and in the "Talons..." episode was in a wet bodice fighting giant rats in the sewers of Victorian London.

    A: He was taking a dump.

    Since the creators decided that Libby's nuthouse story would be simple and down-to-earth, I'm glad they didn't force it in. Resolution would be nice, but we've had experience with forced small stories that don't advance the major plotlines.

    @ophmarketing: There was a post from one Furlan's major fans on the Fuselage, years ago, right when Furlan was leaving the show, that indicated she was unhappy filming in HI with the limited use they made of her character. It was promptly removed by the moderators, but there may have been some truth to it. #lost
