I think Donna just kind of outshone her. Not because Martha wasn't amazing, but because Donna was so loud and boisterous. She demanded people notice her

Thread bump.
I just reread my original review of Fear Her, and after having also just rewatched it, I really didn't convey just how brilliant it is... largely because I didn't have as large a sample size of Doctor Who to compare and contrast it to at the time. I originally recognized the complexity of what it was trying to say conceptually, but rewatching it with the additional context of having now seen other DW stories where there's not actually a threat for the Doctor to vanquish, I can say with confidence that Matthew Graham really delivered an absolute masterpiece of storytelling. Rewatching Fear Her again also helped me realize that I didn't give the Series 11 episode It Takes You Away enough credit after I initially watched it because both it and Fear Her share a lot of the same narrative and conceptual building blocks and are exceptionally-written pieces of subversion that turn your expectations upside down while simultaneously delivering important and prescient social commentary that hits much differently after what society has gone through in the last year and a half. __________________

Incidentally, I was just listening to a podcast wherein the hosts - despite not liking the episode (wrongly) - made me love this episode even more when they mentioned that Donna might've been in jeopardy if she were to have been watching the Olympics in-universe, which is awesome. __________________
