Donna's ultimate fate

Jul 06, 2008 23:53


I've finally come down from my squee!high from watching Journey's End, and the more I think about it, the more distraught I am about Donna. Last night, I was still in fits of delight over everyone flying the TARDIS (particularly Jack getting the pumpy bit).

Donna. Poor Donna, being unable to remember all of the wonderful things she has seen and done, the things that made her grow and change as a person and ultimately become happier in herself. All gone now. Fuck you, Rusty. Just because she's not Rose-el T. Davies doesn't mean she's not an awesome character who actually restored my faith in you. You just had to ruin that in the most callous way possible. Fuck you.

In a way, she's something like a fob-watched Time Lord, and I imagine she will always feel as though there's something wrong. Perhaps she'll even dream of everything that happened to her, and her family will lie to her and tell her it's not real. It's almost a fate worse than death. So here's what I want to happen:

I would very much like for Donna to return in one of the specials. I'd like to see the Doctor in a huge world of trouble, and for this to return Donna's memory to save the day before dying heroically of a fried-brain and battle wounds. This is how such a splendid character should go out. With a bang, not a whimper.
