I wept for Donna. WEPT, I TELL YOU. I was so pissed off at how they tied off Donna's storyline that it nearly spoiled everything else I loved about the episode, especially THE FULL TARDIS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS. I cried happy tears during that bit.

Welcome to being caught up, dear! Now, to the Christmas Special! ;)

I wept tooooo. What really set me off was the scene between the Doctor and the grandpa. My heaaaart :(

Donna's grandpa was ENTIRELY MADE OF WIN. He will definitely be one of the things I'll miss about S4.

I think one of my issues is that Donna didn't have a happy ending. Rose eventually got her Doctor (*GLEE*), Martha left on her own terms and got a husband and a job at UNIT out of it, but what does Donna have? Nothing. She's been reset. All that growth and all that awesome is just... gone.

RTD could have got Catherine Tate out a dozen different ways... that shouldn't have been one of them. :(

Heee I loved Donna very very much. I loved Rose and Ten but they killed me with Donna. Just saying.

Donna's fate in itself ruined most of the episode for me. I ended up screaming a lot, "OMG HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?!" I loved her so much...

But yes, "Turn Left" (the one with the AU England where everything just kept getting worse and worse and worse and just this once, everybody dies) was the best episode of any show in the history of EVER.

I have a strange attitude towards moments like that. Even as it rips at my heart and makes tears down my face, I acknowledge that it is a brave and brilliant storytelling move. I don't respect story tellers unless they're willing to allow for consequences. For example, the big death in Serenity was tragic and heartbreaking, but I love it for that very reason. So while Donna was infinitely tragic, I admire it as a storytelling move because of that. She will always live on in our hearts!
