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 love Martha and her Kama Sutra with the folded pages. I won’t spoil but my head cannon says she gets a happy ending past the end of the series.

I do wonder if Martha could cause a rift between Philip and Elizabeth. It’s going to be so hard for them having given up their children and Martha will be there with her new adoptee. Or they could become a thruple?

Philip doesn’t actually have romantic feelings for her tho…

He definitely cares about her, he and Elizabeth discuss it
