Right... Donna did have a dog, didn't she, before Lance convinced her to get rid of it? That was an excellent answer! Dogs are extremely trainable, and have many uses (not to mention that they love unconditionally). Cats are useful for mousing. Throughout, she's really thinking about the practicalities. Of course, being the last one to answer each question, one might argue she has the most chance to think about her answer and see what response the others' answers get. Might be good to have her get the first answer to really showcase how thoughtful and mature she is ( ... )

It's probably because I have a headache right now, but I wouldn't mind if River killed Rose, or vice versa right now.

I think Rose and River have both eliminated themselves by now with their answers. I loved it when the Doctor asked Jack just how old Rose was. I think the Doctor is going to do everything he can to avoid meeting River again in the future.

I love Ten's hair! I wish there was someway for him to find out what his hair is doing.

I agree with Zeus and Hera. Rose and River are making me sick with their answers to. I'd be happy thinking that they're just characters in a TV show, except I had a neighbor who was like Rose.

Rose's friend isn't going to be happy with her if the police or her employer is watching the show.

Yes, but the Doctor would feel horribly guilty for it, as he always does. So it's best to avoid outright murder!

I liked that he asked, too. Rose is too young and immature for him, River is too smug in her attitudes, not to mention her own thieving ways. Right, Rose's friend isn't going to be very happy with her, especially since she publicly revealed her name.

I'd say it's between Martha and Donna. Both are lovely in their own right, and show a level of maturity.

So, even though, chronologically, they are all too young for the Doctor, I think Martha and maybe even more so, Donna, would be more mentally similar in age. Donna's main goal seems to be to try to make a difference with what skills she has. Temping, believe it or not, is the ideal preparation for the kind of life the Doctor leads. Both go into a situation cold, must get the job done quickly and efficiently, then move on to the next one. You have to think fast!

Ten's hair is a character in its own right!

I agree that outright murder would be a bad thing. However, a cat fight would be fun to read about ( ... )

Martha had the potential to be an excellent companion for the Doctor, if only she didn't fall head over heels for him. She was strong, she was determined, and she was willing to go the extra mile(s). The only problem was that she was over-awed by him; Donna clearly wasn't, and she was willing to cut his ego down to size when it would benefit him. I do believe that she and Donna would make great friends ( ... )

Oh, you noticed in that episode, too? Yes, you could make a drinking game of how often the Doctor seems to look at Donna's boobs. :D

dm12 August 11 2015, 03:00:15 UTC

Of course I noticed! I did try to count, but lost count after 10. I really could have used one of those clicker counters I had in the lab for counting bacterial colonies on a plate! Alas, I never got one.

tkel_paris August 11 2015, 02:48:12 UTC

Nearly had that in "Foreseen Wife". Only Jack got in the way and had them both taken... Eh, if you haven't read it yet I won't spoil it. :)

Amen to those comments. Donna was the best prepared. That doesn't mean she was less fun. If anything that made her more able to help the Doctor.

Yes. He will be. ;D

dm12 August 11 2015, 03:02:52 UTC

Of course I read it. I loved it; Zeus & Hera were there, too.

tkel_paris August 11 2015, 02:46:29 UTC

All comments Amened. :D

And I see I now have a third plot bunny from this string of comments. Oy vey. :)

dm12 August 11 2015, 03:04:50 UTC

Oy vey indeed. The more the merrier. Can I feed them some carrots?

tkel_paris August 11 2015, 07:02:53 UTC

No. I have other ideas that are LONG overdue. I might use ONE of these new ones as a birthday pressie for someone, though...

tkel_paris August 11 2015, 02:45:38 UTC

Great, now it's official. I have two plot bunnies. O.O

Yep. Thank goodness for AUs, eh?

He'll notice. Eventually. :P

I've worked with girls a lot like Rose, and known some women like River. They're really hard to like once you've noticed the uglier details of their characters; the good doesn't outweigh the bad.

Ooh... Good thought.

tkel_paris August 11 2015, 02:43:06 UTC

That's how I interpreted her comments then. Also, she's rather practical even in her so-called "dim" moments. As for the timing, I think the show has a set schedule. Rose was feeling hyper confident and demanded to go first, River was the same but didn't demand to go first, Martha didn't care, and Donna... might have wanted to go last. Or else someone in production might've chosen her to go last because they suspected that the Doctor might be in a better mood for asking questions if she was last to answer the previous one ( ... )
