(...Maybe psych? Which is just another way of me saying, this is another spoilery review. Of the season finale. In which I will be gushing my endless love, btw. You have been warned.)

Russell, here is my soul, as promised. I knew you wouldn't let me down. XD )

I think there are a lot of us out there writing fics to try and make ourselves feel better about Donna. I've got one in the works as well, which takes its title and epigraph from the Pogues song "Lullaby of London". The thing about the Doctor is, 1) he's got River Song to look forward to, in a bittersweet sort of way and 2) he is, in his own way, resilient. He'll find his way back.

Mostly I'm just glad to see proof that Davies is the intelligent writer I've always thought him to be, in that he was smart enough to not just let all those sacrifices slide without calling the Doctor on them at some point. And Tennant totally delivered in that scene. (The whole German-speaking Nazi Dalek thing is, actually, even more perversely funny after you see Genesis of the Daleks. Somewhere, Terry Nation is smiling.) (ETA: Also? Just discovered that Terry Nation was a Welshman, from Cardiff. HA.)

I'd watch an hour of Martha, Donna, Rose, and Sarah Jane just sitting around talking. It'd be hilarious and sweet and just all kinds of awesome.

OH. Speaking of old-school goodness, I just found out something about a special guest star on next season's Sarah Jane Adventures that made me SHRIEK with glee. A certain old friend from UNIT...
