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?

Maybe because it's unprecedented? The only equivalent I can think of is Tegan's stupid cousin Stupid.

Maybe because you dread sibling squabbles?

Hmm. I'm not overly enthused either, but I'm going to trust & wait & see. You never know, it could be the best development evah. :)

PS: I haven't heard the actual details - is there a sister? Ten to one David Tennant snogs the sister before the end of the series... Ooh, isn't Captain Jack coming back in season 3? he can snog the brother, if there's a brother

Are you an only child?

Well it makes a change from Rose's family.

Not.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in. I saw the link to this thread in who_daily and couldn't resist. I was oddly unsettled by the idea of a sibling as well, but I can't pinpoint why. Maybe it's because--as cheesy as this sounds--is seems unfair to take one and not the other. Okay, that sounds even more stupid written out.

I'm also kind of 'meh' about her whole family, only because I'm not thrilled about the idea of the entire cast (except the Doctor, we hope) being out when a companion goes. Personally, I'd prefer to see some minor supporting cast along the lines of Classic Who with the Brig and UNIT, etc. that were around through changing companions.
