Top Ten: Martha Jones is Flawless
5. Gridlock (3x03)

The Doctor prefers to silently torture himself about the Time War, which is incredibly unhealthy. Martha Jones, however, will have none of this. After he completely shuts her out about what the Face of Boe meant (“You’ve got me. Is that what he meant?” “I don’t think so. Sorry.”), Martha decides that she will not move until he tells her everything. In doing so, she gets him to open up about the Time War and even Gallifrey; this is a hugely defining moment for them. Martha could have easily just let it go or the Doctor could have just ignored her completely. But she didn’t and he didn’t, because they both knew that this is something that he needed to talk about. Instead of placating the Doctor, Martha did what she knew was best and challenged the Doctor to open himself up. There are very few companions willing to stand up to the Doctor and force him to share his feelings, but Martha does what she thinks is right, no matter how hard it is.
