"Brilliant!" DOCTORDONNA = 1337 H@XXORZ "Allons-y!"
THOSE TARD(i)S(s).
They just, they just! That was a cataclysmic-ally brilliant episode, and what do they do?
WHAT DO THEY DO!?
They make Donna into super! Donna, Donna TD (DoctorDonna is too long, Donna, with Time Lord attached like a degree is shorter) THEY GIVE HER THE 1337357 |-|@XX0RZ (leetest haxxorz) EVAR AND THEN THEY TAKE HER OFF THE SHOW!?
I...I am just. IN COMPLETE DENIAL.
Nuhuh. NO WAY IS SHE GONE FOR GOOD. The idea we never see her again pushes even my suspension of disbelief too far, and I've just watched half+ of 'The Big O' season one in single sitting.
Look, I don't know what the writers are thinking (except Moran, the Pompeii guy, cuz I've been to his blog) but all of time and the plot vacuums converging on Donna, backwards and forwards, it isn't going to just stop. Sorry, but things don't work like that. WHEN YOU MESS WITH TIME NOTHING EVER STOPS.
It just keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping! Just like I slipped up and forgot to read "Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks" before tonight.
And honestly, if you paid attention, you would learn that the Doctor didn't really change her back at all. That's why he couldn't stay! Look, the time war was time locked, and stayed that way for a good long while, but Donna's little firewall to her memories is so fragile that a word could set it off and BURN HER UP. In the Doctor's words, I personally think he is more than a little bit melodramatic and DEFINITELY suffers from some sort of masochistic complex.
I don't blame him though, he's been through enough that he is lucky he isn't a full blown BATSHIT CRACKHEAD like The Master, or Davros, OR DALEK FRICKKIN CAAN.
BTW @ Dalek Caan, I wanted to cuddle him at the end. Hell, I liked his babbling madness, too bad he died(?).
So anyway, just like Jenny, Donna shall be back. I mean, I have even more points.
Okay, Donna has to be back because her theme song was awesome. IS awesome. Also, Murray Gold did fabulous with that jingle hindi leitmotif in the last two episodes, just got me wanting to dance.
Also, if Donna's little amnesia-lock is so fragile, she won't be going very long. I mean, even if no one mentions the Doctor, you have to take into account that their are still a club of friendly UK civvies (and...I don't know UNITties and TORCHWOODdies (although technically the good Captain is some sort of quasi-American alien non-dying thing, I'm not convinced he is Boe, though (haha rhyme))) who know all about the Doctor, and even if Torchwood is in Cardiff, Sarah Jane (and in the first season they went EVERYWHERE) is right in London! Which isn't more than a couple of hop steps from Chiswick! And the Doctor never sent the "Don't talk about me in front of (Doctor)Donna" memo to the rest of the gang, at least not yet, so I smell amnesia being obliterated.
But would she die? I doubt it. They didn't kill her off in the season ender, so it makes no sense to do it in a little while. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Donna and her surprises.
The Rose/Doctor shippers should be happy. They won a major battle, now that we have another Doctor happily in AU with Rose. This means I shouldn't have to deal with their blatantly little girl fantasies anymore.
I think they only liked Rose because she was the first, and she was so young, so pretty, getting to travel with this fantastic guy across the universe, so people projected onto her. I, luckily, never did that, because I'm past my fantastic romantic phase (onto the post apocalyptic phase, I believe). I was watching the PBS broadcast (so glad they have Confidential added in), and I realized she was absurdly young. Only two years older than me, and perhaps, more street-wise, but no more worldly.
Still, it was a rather good and clever ending, I mean, nobody except Harriet died. ;_; I miss her, she was awesome, with her little id card and take charge mentality. RIP MP for Flydale North/Former Prime Minster. Mickey started a new life, presumably with Torchwood, Martha is still okay, Torchwood is dandy, Sarah Jane has her son and her Adventures. And of course, Rose got her Doctor, even if it wasn't quite the same, being a facet of him and all, but it was defiantly more than close enough. And the Doctor got to be happy too, at least one of him. Personally I liked the new Doctor better anyway, I mean, he had balls, he had the guts to do what was right, for the universe, not just what was moral, and would make him feel better.
Also, I think that somehow the television has given me a little bit of DoctorDonna, seeing as how Donna was the best damn temp in Chiswick, and the Doctor had his handy spare hand, well, I am simultaneously watching the second running of the episode, and writing this blog, Mind you I am not set up to have both screens in the same direction, so basically I am craning my head to watch the tv and typing without looking at the same time. Mind you, I can't do this in long stretches, but still, I have very few typos (compared to my regular amount, in fact, I think I have less).
Still, I am kind of sad, because I was wishing I was going to have at least one season with Doctor And D!Donnna, and some fantastic techno babble, but no, they have zap her memory. Darn. I was getting ahead of myself and thinking maybe I was going to get lucky and we'd see Jenny again next season and get a quasi nuclear family, or maybe a sonic family, after the screwdriver and other peripherals?
Oh, and since Rose's NEW Doctor is part Donna does that mean it's now Doctor/Donna/Rose? This is very close to canon seeming and definitely complete crack. My fandoms are crack central. And why the hell did the Doctor not feel the TARDIS not die...wait, never mind, he was bluffing, wasn't he? Hey, and since the Doctor and Donna did the hybridization/fusion-ha deal now he gets to be ginger! He mentioned last regeneration he had always wanted to be ginger!
I love Donna, you might have noticed that by now, but yes. She's quite a tsunderreko, isn't she? I mean, very tough, and taking no crap, and sometimes even picking on our beloved Gallifreyyan, but beneath that lies a very vulnerable interior, and she really does love her family/Doctor. I find those characters, or the characters I read those traits into (alright, much like I mentioned how people project themselves upon Rose, I latch onto certain characters and read tsundere traits into them). Whatever, Donna = 1337 H@XX0RZ
My DoctorDonna powers are wearing, off, the last bit was gibberish and I had to retype.
Maybe I'll get so inspired I'll write a fic or two. I've got ideas certainly, but steam? Well, I did just write what looks to be a three page blog, but it's rubbish ramble. Still...my powers or DD seem to be gone, right?
Okay Mom is yelling at me because the television is to loud nad I'm running around like a freak. I cannot believe she isn't watching again!
I still have more to say.
There is quite a bit of 'Star Wars' in this episode? I mean, Davros's little force lightning move?
I'm going to miss Donna, but maybe it was for the best, I mean, it could have been a bit too much shark jumping (but when have they ever cared about that?). She was just too awesome to keep around, it wouldn't have worked for a solid season. Popping in randomly, yes, but full season? I see the storytelling logic behind that.
...since Donna's brain went boom, does this mean Rose can be expecting trouble when it comes to her hybrid Doctor?
I'm sad to see her leave though. Cathy Tate was a great comic, and had a lot more experience than the other two new ones, from a fictional point, she was older, had lived, and from the real world view she probably had a few more acting chops. But they are sailing her off on the viking funeral pyre. And leaving her character alone, in the same state we met her. A gal that has some self esteem issues, nutty granddad and scary Mum, watching the world waste away and going along with it. What a gyp. At least the Doctor has memories of happy times, better to have loved and lost than to never of all logic, while she just rots away never knowing and being shielded from fabulous truth.
It was wrong of the Doctor to had taken her memories anyway. She was just as competent as him at that point, and she protested, and he just overruled that. I can understand why, it would hurt to much to watch her die or something, but still. It was her decision, an informed decision, even if it was emotional charged.
The whole eternally suffering archetype is quite popular, hmm?
I wonder what happened to Susan. She must have been, I don't know a quarter time-lord? And if hybrid Doctor is half and he ages normally and Susan was late 1950's then she must be older. Did she die?
Are we just ignoring her? Are we going to ignore Jenny too?
Are they just going to rot in the idea closet along with CAL and co and Donna? And goodness only knows how many other characters?
Nah, they can't do that. Everything will be revisited, eventually, just like history repeats itself.
Cheers the the staff, and eagerly awaiting the next season (although Mom harbors some paranoia that everything was wrapped up so tidily that there wouldn't be a next season. I honestly can't fathom what is next, the logical decisions from my point of view would to be have the next companion be River Song, that way we have a connection to the past, but also a whole new sandbox (HELLO WORLD), either way I know the next companion should be fabulous, because they just keep getting better and better).
In the words of the Doctor, "Brilliant."
And "Allons-y", of course.
