Petition to have a long-term companion named John Smith.
The Doctor does not stop using John Smith as an alias during this time, so good old companion John will:
Do nothing and go about the adventure as the dynamic duo, John Smith and John Smith
Say that he is either the Doctor's son or father depending on how old they both appear (a junior/senior situation)
Come up with a normal human pseudonym himself like Mark or Dave because the Doctor stole his name goddammit
Just fucking introduce himself as the Doctor and completely ruin the point of the Doctor calling himself John Smith

the way it has clearly never occured to doctor who fans how black fans feel about 'human nature' and 'the family of blood.'
joan agreeing wifh martha a couple of times later in the episode doesn't make up for her racial prejudice. watching martha constantly be reinforced to her face that she will never be good enough is not happy viewing. it's supposed to be a reprieve actually, to show in another world they wouldn't work. but clealry these knuckleheads didn't realise that thay DOESN'T WORK when you have positioned her in a RACIST time period. martha and john don't work because he sees her as his LESSER not because they just don't gel together. and john smith despite being referred to as being "kind" to martha and viewing her as his "favourite maid' doesn't come across at all. he is indifferent and barely acknowledges her and is racially prejudiced too.
the cast is amazing but i am not rooting for john or joan and it's almost funny that the narrative expects me to. literally felt nothing at that 'life he could have had' montage. i was too focused on martha, because dammit someone has to be.
