Journey's End
I made it home from Edinburgh yesterday. After getting up at 3:30 am BST, I finally made it to Detroit at 12:30 pm EDT. Unfortunately, my luggage didn't arrive with me. I got a call at 7:30 this morning that 1 of my 2 bags has made it - the other, who knows: Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Timbuktu? *sigh

One thing I keep thinking about is River Song's reaction to meeting Donna. I think it was sort of, "OH! You're Donna Noble!?!" And Donna was wondering from her reaction what happened to her. Now, of course, we know what all of that was about. But another thing about it was that clearly the Doctor talked about Donna (and it would seem with some frequency, intensity, or length, based on River Song's reaction). That could argue that Donna's story is fresh in his mind. Or if River Song doesn't happen soon, then it means that this is an incident that stays with him for quite a while with some intensity. Clearly it has enough impact on the Doctor that he shares it with River Song, and it has enough impact on her to make her react strongly when meeting Donna Noble.
It also means that, while many people know of Donna Noble's impact on the universe, River Song is the one person who knows about Donna's impact when she's interacting with Donna and can give her the respect she deserves to her face, even if Donna doesn't know why. Not that River Song does much in regards to this, but I just like that she meets Donna knowing Donna's potential while Donna still has that potential.
