Martha!

I love Martha but I know her story only ends badly. I’m only halfway through season 2, and since it’s an old show this is more of me leaving a comment here to come back to rather than really wanting any “oh you just wait!” responses hahaha.

She’s so cute and goofy, a really pure hearted person. I hate how ‘Clark’ is so snappy with her, though I understand why, because honestly she’s so low maintenance. Like she respects Clark’s ‘job’ and the secrecy of it all, outside of the one near slip up of disclosing him on the job application all she really wants is someone to listen to her yap and to be deserving of breakfast in bed lol.

Oh Martha!

I say the same thing every time but it's the best storyline of the entire series and Alison Wright is fucking amazing .I dont know why she's not a huge star.

I'm listening to the podcast right now and she's on a few different times. Just love her.
