#37

I don't even know why I watch Doctor Who anymore. It just makes me sad and angry. I just finished the season finale and my head hurts, really hurts. 

Its like Russell T. Davies (couldn't just be Russell Davies or Russ, oh no he needs that whole long big name because he's stupid) tapped into one of my biggest fears of being stupid and not being able to lead a productive life and injected it all into Donna. Just to show her that she is awesome and BRILLIANT and it was there inside of her all along only to take it all away. Its like she'll forever have that thing on her back that everyone can see but her because the two people she cares about most in the world are keeping the BIGGEST secret from her for the rest of her life. Its just mean, very mean. 

The line at the end when The Doctor was all like I guess they all have someone else blah, blah, blah. Its only because he makes it that way. 

There are only 2 things keeping me a fan right now:
  1. K-9 is still just as awesome as ever!!!! Though he should have had way more dialogue.
  2. The fact that nothing is permanent on this show. So whenever the writers can't think of a plot for next week, they can always bring Donna back and fix her.
I guess maybe now there is always a possibility that she can find stuttering guy and live a completely fulfilling life.

Agree x 1,000,000. I would really enjoy a companion to stick around for more than one season, especially one as awesome as Donna. Because she was the one most like everyone, the one who had her feet firmly on the ground at all times. Damn you RTD! I'm hoping that someday I can watch this episode as often as I watch Doomsday because I appreciate the bittersweetness of it - instead of the way I watch it now, which is turning it off as the Doctor and Donna leave Rose and Blue Suit at Bad Wolf Bay, so that I can pretend the Doctor and Donna are still traveling the universe, one Time Lord, one half human/half Time Lord.

And they better bring her back someday. She's too good of a character to leave to a fate like this.

Donna was my favorite. I haven't seen this episode yet but I don't think I want to now.

I hope she finds stuttering guy again. That episode upset me. I just kept yelling "you can't stutter a scream, stuttering man! Shout to her! Even incoherent noises will work!" Damn him.
