You know, I think hearing all those dreadful spoilers drained some of the pain out of it for me. I'm still appalled when I think about it, but I found ways to make it NOT SO BAD when there were these little quirks, like the Doctor reminding her that the clone she was left with was as he had been when they met. But still, ick.
But Donna. My wonderful Donna, wiped out of existence. That's hard to take.
There was the odd good bit but it got steamrollered over by the rubbish that filled in the rest of the episode.
hThe clone though and the whole I didnl;t do it it was him, help him Rose just struck me as wrong. The whole oint is that Ten did commit genocide but he just denied all responsibility.
Also the clone is part human part timelord and yet seems to be fine...
What happened to Donna was just awful. It's worse than if she died because it was like we wonlt kill her kill her we'll leave her alive but we'll kill all she is. It sucks. To my mind it would have been better had Donna gone 'Just faking' and gone with Wilf to build a TARDIS in the back garden. She deserved so much more than she got.
She lost it all and there's Rose bitching about not wanting a clone...*sigh*
It was definitely an improvement over Tinkerbell!Jesus!Doctor, I'll give 'em that. Not that that's a compliment!
I think I could have dealt with the clone thing if they'd just handled it better. Although that scene seemed to drag on forever, it should have been longer. They didn't say the right things.
I hope that Donna is able to rebuild her fabulousness. But it's even worse than, say, a dancer losing a leg and having to learn to walk again, because the dancer can remember what it is to walk, and can even remember that she used to be wonderful and graceful. Donna has nearly 40 years of being told she's not worth anything, and I don't think that having the nicest, most supportive mother in the world (won't she wonder what happened?!) is going to fix that.
I may or may not be nursing a Nine and Donna bunny.
Wilf though was just wonderful.

I agree. It felt like forever as there wasn't the right progress made.
I hope so too. And yes there is no easy fix for her, and that's a tragedy.
I would like to encourage that bunny.
