I apologize in advance to Christopher Eccleston because for the first time in forever I'm actually acknowledging that even he can't overcome something. It's not his fault, but still ... even he couldn't overcome the cheese of the "You need a doctor" line from "The Parting of the Ways." I keep hoping it will get better each time I watch it and I'll grin and glory in the romantic cheesiness, but no. It's just always groan-inducing cheese. Sigh. Not even the amazing Christopher Eccleston can save it.
I agree with you completely. CE is an amazing actor, but no one could overcome the cheesiness of that line. I mean, when I was watching that episode the first time, I groaned at the cheese even though I was bawling at the time.
The Nine/Rose kiss is my favorite kiss too.
And I don't think that Martha is a bad character, but I think Freema just isn't a good enough actress. I'm sure there are people who could do way more with that role.
