I went a little Doctor Who mad and watched a crapload of episodes. Oops! I'll split them up into pairs, I suppose. Here goes ep2 and ep3!

ps: did you catch the rest of what the soothsayers were saying? Or specifically, what the male soothsayer says to the Doctor? "She is returning."

OH MY GOD I DIDN'T CLUE IN TO THAT.

I did catch the two images of Rose that show up on screens when the Doctor isn't looking. I know one is in Midnight and the other is in... The Santoran Stratagem'. I think. Still, no idea what is happening.

I always wonder how much Donna knew she was getting herself into.

I always remember that Donna saw the Doctor at his most terrifying before she agreed to travel with him, though. She knew that it wasn't all adventures and beauty out in the world, just as Rose and Martha knew this, but she also knew that some of the terrifying and horrible things would come about because the Doctor himself could be both terrifying and horrible.

Not to say I didn't love her reaction, really. She is just so... heart-broken for these people she doesn't know. And, yes, I did love her insistence that they save someone, that saving just one is important, after their part. She accepts that this is the way it has to be, that they cannot stop it... but insists that at least someone is spared, since that is the power they do have.
