Characters: The Bad Wolf entity, mostly, but everyone gets a mention. Also sort of the Doctor.
Warnings: Spoilers through Turn Left and possibly TSE/Journey's End.
Summary: The Bad Wolf muses on what must be done and the nature of being. This is just sort of a half-freewriting on plotbunnies and the nature of the Bad Wolf phenomenon, and how I think it ties into seasons 2-4 and some of the events and arcwords therein. It's uh, a bit rambly, sorry about that.

...but why does it hurt?
So yes, "Turn Left" was less than I expected and more than I hoped. Chipo Chung or whatever her name is was amazing, Billie was amazing, Donna was amazing. I like this little revelation about Donna, and I like the theme of divination that keeps on recurring. I can't wait for the last two episodes!
