A Really Odd Reaction to the Who Casting Spoilers for Season Three

[lesbiassparrow]

What's really strange about the whole Martha's family thing is that I am interested to see what they do with mum and dad, but I somehow have this incredibly hostile reaction to the idea of siblings being on the show. Isn't that odd and quite mad? I've been trying to think why it is and the best I can come up with is that we might end up going back even more to London, but I don't think that's quite it. Any suggestions? Anyone else want to join me in my madness?

Well it makes a change from Rose's family.

Not.

Well, they could do it differently, I guess: they could have them all waving enthusiastically as Martha heads off with this strange man, delighted to have a spare bedroom now, rather than being all sad to see her go. Though that would be sort of mean, it would make the character even more sympathetic.

I think I'm just a bit freaked out that there are so many of them being cast with named actors, which means that I am wondering how many episodes they will be in. I want alien travel, dammit, and no more London for a bit!

There's always going to be a limit to the number of alien planets, though; they just don't have the budget.

Probably even more of a limit now that they really want to show massive structures on alien planets. No more quarries = high costs. :(
