Just for fun! Whether The Doctor Should Have Let Martha Travel With Him

Rebuttals:1) Pro rebutts: " The way I remember it, Martha just used her family as a cover up for the real reason she was leaving the Doctor. She left him because he didn't love her. Also remember that Donna's family has been put at risk as well, but she doesn't want to leave the Doctor. She is willing to stay with him forever. "Yes, it is true that Donna's family went through a lot as well, but no where near to the extent of Martha's parents. Martha's parents were captured, used, and abused by the Master. [1][2][3] If Donna's parents/grandpa went through what Martha's went through, Donna would leave the Doctor to protect her family. The Doctor agreed with Martha, and that is why the Doctor took away Donna's memory, to protect her and her family. Point negated.2) Pro states: "This is also false. The Doctor wanted very much to travel with Donna. He was the one that asked her, and she refused. So I can't see how that could mean he didn't want to travel with Donna. "Sorry my bad, I forgot that. Anyways, this shows that the Doctor wanted someone to travel with. If Donna rejected the Doctor, then the Doctor was right in letting Martha travel with him. Donna passed up on the Doctors offer, so it's not the Doctor's fault.3) Pro states: "Something the Doctor makes clear to all his companions is that there's always a way out! Destroying the world is definitely not a compromise. It's giving up. The Doctor is disapointed in Martha for standing up to the Osterhagen key. "This is a good point but it doesn't hold water. This is because in the season one finale (new series), the Doctor faced a similar decision. [4] The Doctor was going to destroy all the Daleks and humans with a delta wave. He was going to kill the world to save the universe. The same situation Martha was in. Both of them didn't blow up the world. Therefore, the Doctor and Martha made similar decisions. If the Doctor was disapointed in Martha, then he was a hypocrite because he did the same thing: almost kill humanity.4) Pro attempts to negate my argument about Donna being evil by arguing: "The fact that the phrase "cool the beans" means to lower the temperature of the beans completely negates this argument. "Yes, that is exactly what I meant. To determine Donna's objective is, we have to analyse the situation. The beans were on a high temperature. Let's define cook: "Prepare (food, a dish, or a meal) by combining and heating the ingredients in various ways. " [5]This means that the beans were cooking. Now, I'll define kill: "Cause the death of (a person, animal, or other living thing). "Ok, so the beans were cooking. Cooking causes the beans cells to die. Therefore, cooking the beans means that the beans were being killed. Donna said to cool the beans, meaningly to reduce the temperature. If you reduce the temperature, they are no longer being cooked. Therefore, the beans are no longer being killed. If Donna stopped the beans from dying, she saved the beans. Now, if beans are evil, she saved something evil! Donna wants evil things to survive! (Perhaps Donna is preparing a bean army to attack the Doctor! Just kidding! )5) Pro states: "I have no evidence that Martha does not like beans. The rhyme goes "beans, beans, are good for your heart! " Martha is a nurse, so if anything, she would like beans since they are good for you, which makes Martha the evil one here. "First of all, that is not a rhyme. Second, Martha has never stated she likes beans, or has never shown that she likes beans. When someone likes something, the express their like for it. For example, the Doctor likes bow ties. You can see this because he wears bow ties and exclaims: "Bow ties are cool! " Donna has expressed that she wants to save evil beans, there fore liking them. However, Martha doesn't express her like for breans.6) Pro states: "I agree, but I cannot see how this supports pro in any way. "This shows that the Doctor was right in choosing Martha as a companion. Being indepenent is a good thing, and helps the Doctor because he doesn't need to look out for Martha. She knows what she is doing.7) Pro also states: "The Doctor isn't a huge fan of Torchwood. They tried to hold him captive after all. So why should this be relevant in any way? "It may be true that the Doctor doesn't like Tourchwood, but it shows that Martha valued what the Doctor taught her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________Hahaha, I like your quote at the end. I would like to thank you for an excellent debate as well. Just remember to keep calm and don't even blink. Not once.
