Be kind. Rewind.

Jul 05, 2008 23:23

I just finished Doctor Who, and I feel like a babbling idiot. I should not be crying this hard, yet I am. I should not be this emotionally entangled in a family fucking television program, yet I am. It such a foolish thing; it's so hard to admit. Russell T Davies made me cry and I know why. I don't want to know why.

I didn't start crying until the very end with Wilf talking about how he'll look for The Doctor in the sky. I lost it then.

In response to Rose and clone!Doctor I will respond with a gif in honor of Fry.

The line Wilf gave only enhanced my tears. The Noble family has been the best family Nu Who gave us... just because of Wilf. He was amazingly sweet.

That's for making me laugh. I still haven't watched Strangers with Candy. ♥

The whole thing was depressing. From Donna to....that to the mention of Tosh. Then they didn't even show Ross when they were flashing all of the people that died with The Doctor what kind of fuckery was that :[

I stand by my opinion as the best part of it all was the 23 second teaser for Christmas.

flowerings July 6 2008, 06:50:06 UTC

Tosh. :'(

They just won't let me move on. Do they want me to mourn her forever. God, I miss Tosh so much. ♥ Ross totally belonged because Ten adored Ross. I still haven't figured out why -- he was cute etc etc -- but he adored me.

I'm not looking forward to Cybermen though. Other than that, I'm good. I cannot wait.

It's very sad to me that Donna was the one who had to have her memory wiped. We've seen what she's like without the Doctor (in her first appearance as well as Turn Left) and it's apparent that she very much believes that she is just an ordinary temp from Chiswick, a nobody. The Doctor really inspires her to be more than that, so without him she'll probably just fall back into the old way of things.

Did the Doctor mention how he wiped her memory? Does he have a timey-wimey Time Lord device for that, or did he swipe some Retcon from Jack? If the latter is the case, then we may have a chance at seeing Donna again. She's proven that she's strong and capable enough of a lot of things, and I think she'd pick up on clues and hints if they were left around (like Gwen did when she was first Retconned). She might not believe she's able to do so at this point, but we know she can! I think we'd have a good shot at hearing from Donna again if the Doctor used the Retcon method. Otherwise... *tear*

DONNA NOBLE. :'( flowerings July 6 2008, 06:45:34 UTC

Donna is my favorite companion so far. I haven't started Classic Who, but I have a feeling that she will still be my favorite after. I don't know, I just found Donna to be more relatable than Rose (who is actually in my age bracket) and Martha. I just felt more in her shoes, y'know? I am just deeply depressed about how things turned out, but at least this gives her arc something that neither Martha nor Rose's ever had. Plus, you could see that Ten was more heartbroken about Donna than Rose, in my opinion. He finally had that one mate that he could have completely have fun with. Plus... um... they were kind of my ship.

I was guessing it was just with the touch of a Time Lord™. They really did not show anymore, but from what I gather from the episode, it had to be it. Also the look Donna had in her eyes when Ten started to get closer... it just clicked for me. Damn. *cries*

Re: DONNA NOBLE. :'( undersea July 6 2008, 06:50:59 UTC

touch of a Time Lord™

ILU. You have no idea how much I laughed when I read that.

Donna is definitely one of my favorite companions (I would say the favorite, but I can't help but love Turlough just the tiniest bit more) because she is so easy to relate to. I really don't know why. You'd think being nearly the same age as Rose that she would be the person I'd identify with, but nooo. There's just something about Donna.

Re: DONNA NOBLE. :'( flowerings July 6 2008, 06:58:56 UTC

Thanks! You know it's true. We have seen it several times before.

I started out relating to Rose, but after a couple episodes, I just couldn't. But Donna, everything about her was just slightly me. I believe everyone who liked Donna just understood that feeling. It's hard to explain, but I don't know why. She was Donna and everyone feels like Donna at some point in their life.

... Wow, I just did not make any sense.

mefan July 6 2008, 06:43:40 UTC

Word. Sort of. I understand why he went there, but I didn't like it. Donna is/was the Doctor's most faithful companion and she wasn't the type to just disembark from TARDIS life after the end of all this and Tate only agreed to do one series. So IDK.

I particularly didn't like the giant, gaping plot hole that we were all but told to basically ignore so that the Tennant/Rose (b/c that is what it really amounts to in this instance) shippers could have their happy ending.

So clone!Ten is human w/a Time Lord mind and Donna is also human w/a Time Lord mind - does that mean that Rose is going to wake up the next morning on parallel Earth to clone!Ten combusting due to his teeny, tiny human brain not being able to handle the awesome knowledge of the Time Lords? Eg., HUGE GIANT FUCKING PLOT HOLE.

And I would totally write AU Doctor/Donna fic except that I'm not really a writer and while I have all these really detailed ideas for various fics in my head (some I have written partially) when I sit down to write them . . . bad.

flowerings July 6 2008, 06:55:56 UTC

YES! YES! YES! I don't understand how Doctor!Donna is different from Donna!Doctor. They are/were both part Time Lord and part Human. The only thing I could really say to defend that damn plot hole is because Donna!Doctor came from the Doctor's ~Time Lord~ half, Donna!Doctor's body is more stable than Doctor!Donna. Therefore, it can host a ~Time Lord's~ brain. IDK. IDGI.

I wish Tate would have signed on for more than one series. I'm going to miss her presence in Doctor Who. She and Tennant had unbelievable chemistry with each other; you could just tell they truly enjoyed working with one another. God, Donna was the best thing to come out of Nu Who so far, and now it's gone.

I cannot wait fanfaction, at all. I am terrible at it. So, I am know relying on other people. It's hard because it isn't like the Donna/Ten community is large. We are only a tiny faction of this crazed fandom.

ohcupcakes July 6 2008, 07:10:01 UTC

I believe that Donna is the one who said she "got the brain" so I figured he didn't combust because he had the Donnas brain or at least like a humen brain.

flowerings July 6 2008, 07:14:18 UTC

PLOT HOLE! PLOT HOLE! You see, I don't understand how that could be possible because Donna!Doctor -- ake Clone!Doctor -- was still able to function like the original Doctor. He thought the exactly the same way; he acted the same... Okay, he may have a bit of Donna's personality, but my point still stands. It doesn't make sense either way. :'(

trust me I'm tottally with you i couldn't believe that they just kind of fucked donna over I mean come on it just wasn't fucking fair and if it makes you feel better I fucking WEPT

flowerings July 6 2008, 06:48:18 UTC

IKR. It's the fuck up of the century.

I just stopped crying. I kept repeating in my mind, "You are absolutely daft for crying. Come on, stop crying." After a good thirty minutes, it worked.

priestofavalon1 July 6 2008, 18:52:59 UTC

I mean EVERYONE else got a happy ending..well as happy as the doctor can be but still its like RTD just kind of ran out of interesting Ideas for her.

flowerings July 6 2008, 23:20:21 UTC

Yeah, it may have been extremely emotional, but wow--! He couldn't have thought of something less... depressing and fitting for Donna. At least, she could have kept her new higher self esteem and confidence.

I honestly can't think straight right now I just don't. I think I just died a bit inside. And now it's stupid because it's a show and a character, but I love it so much. She WAS brilliant. So I'll say that I AGREE WITH THIS POST 200%.

I hope they bring her back. I honestly do. Catherine wants to come back and fuck, THEY BROUGH ROSE AND MARTHA BACK, WHY NOT DONNA? EVERYONE LOVES DONNA.

flowerings July 6 2008, 07:09:07 UTC

LIKE I AGREED WITH YOUR POST. Damn, I just don't understand why they had to wipe her memories away. :'( :'( Why could they give Donna her own TARDIS and let her fly away... like the Kayne West song but without needing the money.

Donna. Donna. Donna. Donna. Donna. Donna.

I feel like I should do a picspam of my favorite Donna moments. That is how much I am going to miss her. I just don't go doing picspams. They take a lot of time and effort to make. EVERYONE DOES LOVE DONNA...

At least the ones with sense.

drained July 6 2008, 07:13:48 UTC

She STILL has haters? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

Hahah, I'm making a Top 5 Donna Noble moments and a fanmix for her. And probably a picspam as well.

flowerings July 6 2008, 07:17:01 UTC

She will ALWAYS have her haters. THEY JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THE TRUE AND CORRECT COMPANION LIGHT. They''re slow learner. It's sad to say, so I never mention it.

She deserves all the love she could possibly get. We should declare next week DONNA NOBLE WEEK. Seriously, she needs it.. even if she's fictional.
