"Me Neither" .All of Louisa, Min blood, Martin s3.5 Hilights

  • 8 years ago
Martin unethically gives peppremint placebos to a teenager distressed about the size of her breasts. Martin's head isn't turned by a busty hypochondfriac divorcee, and the relieved slender Louisa invites him to a concert and kisses him (again) as soon as he goes to hold her hand . (Again) he ruins it, again by being clinical (again) that she is "emotional", Yes her woman's mind had suddenly decided on him. So Louisa drops him (again) but her celloist friend Holly who slips on the beach and hurts her back . Holly disobeys the bedrest the depressed Doc orders and in a back spasm, drops a milk bottle and then falls onto the shard. Martin overcomes his blood phobia, Holly's morphine intolerance, and Louisa dropping a vial of morphine antidote Nalopene to save her life with adrenaline after CPR fails. Louisa is overwhelmed by his guts and skill and accepts Martin's proposal. They finally sleep together, totally improbably without contraception. It would also have made a good scene for them to visit Holly in hospital togethersee how she is recuperating and tell her they are getting married (and have Holly thank Martin for saving her life). The church has a waiting list but then a cancellation comes up. Instead of learning to live together, hectic wedding preparations turn farcical and ominous, and both don't show, not sure they will be remain happy together . Again instead of living together before marriage to find out, they walk away and Louisa says "see you around" but (between series) goes to London(? to avoid Martin knowing she is pregnant, as she wants the child no matter what.)

The things that are crap about Doc Martin the series come thick and fast on S3.5 &4; why didn't the super Doc use a contraceptive at least until he knew L's sexual history, her period, and that both were free of STI and not to create another unwanted child like he was? Why didn't at least Loiusa visit Holly in hospital, invite her to the wedding, connect with Holly in London. Why didn't Martin visit L there; after all he wanted to return to surgery in London. Maybe she didn't want him to see her until her pregnanacy was unstoppable. and that was her entire reason for going away and not to "see you around". But all this is trying to honor with an explanation a series that had run out of sense as it has not been thought through at the outset (eg in a novel), but is improvised each season, and shamelessly repeats (eg hand-holding/kiss/diagnosis)and drags itself out . It has been ruined by greedy padding and short-sightness.. There is constant teasing og the audience about M&L's feelings towards each other. The implausible baby keeps them in contact and in constant limbo, and the aydience forever teased.
