#martha is the strongest of all of us i stg

[minimoefoe]

Human Nature/Family of Blood is an amazing two-parter but every time I watch it I can’t help but think of the fact that they could have hid literally anywhere in Earth’s timeline and yet they went with a time period where Martha had racial abuse flung at her and was, not to use a word that’s a bit too strong, treated like a borderline slave. Like as if her job of keeping an eye on John Smith’s dumbass wasn’t hard enough already, she also has to dodge racists and be a 1910s maid. I just???
