Martha challenged him twice. Once, she made him talk about Gallifrey because apparently he wasn't in enough pain already that day (New New York). The other time, HER MOTHER sold the lot of them out to the Master and what does Martha shriek as they're driving away? "This is all your fault!"
Martha reminded me of the parts of Sarah Jane that made me sad. Sarah was so strong and brilliant and fantastic at first and she gradually sort of migrated into the Doctor's shadow and set up camp. Not because he made her, but because he can make anyone and she let herself.
I assuming that just because she's "Doctor" Martha Jones, she might be some level of intellectual equal? These people seem to underestimate the Doctor's intelligence greatly. The man read an entire novel in five seconds flat in the first season of New Who, so they should have an idea. He's constantly going on about how clever he is and he ISN'T lying. The man carries five billion languages in his head. No computer on earth has that kind of memory capacity, never mind a person. But the Doctor does. *shrug* They just do NOT know.
And, yeah, we'd better leave Certain Writers out of it. I can rant for days just about the body count.
