No accident, then, that it was set in 1913 - if it was 1903 it just wouldn't be the same.
Absolutely, but I hated Timothy saying he had to go fight. Unlike WWII, WWI was utterly pointless IMO - all about power and colonies.
I liked the way Martha was embarrassed about the thought that he remembered her saying she loved him
Do you know if any of his other companions have been so obviously in love with him?
she'd be a really bad fit on the TARDIS, a fish out of water. As far as I could see, she had very little sense of curiosity or adventure.
I don't think that had anything to do with why she didn't go. It was all because he looked like the man she loved, but wasn't him and would never be. Being with him would be constant salt on the wound.
I loved it that John Smith didn't want to die
Yes! That was my favorite part! He thought being the doctor sounded dreadful, and I can't help thinking that came from a tiny part of the doctor who longs for family.
