The Brig was the first person I thought of as an alternative to it being the Doctor she kills. And then Wilf because, really, I can imagine him doing so many more great things with the Silver Cloak. If only because they should have been created by Agatha Christie they were that epic.

So yeah... River killed them. I believe my line of thinking was she killed the Brig to save the Doctor. And because I wrote the last one first, she killed Wilf to save Donna... or save the world from Donna whichever way you look at it.

I did. Once I wrote the last one with Donna, the rest of them just played out pretty quick.

And yes, Tash, I told you I was going to kill the Brig and what do you know I went through with it. And yes she was drinking tea because if I'd gone more than 100 words I would have put some more into explaining that she laced his tea with a drug to give him a heart attack. I think the only one I didn't really consider as to how she did it was Luke. I assume she shot him, but for the life me it's the only one I didn't think up a background for. She just did it as far as I can tell. I think by then I had her really into killing people. Eek.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. ♥

Oh yeah, I've had her kill off every single Doctor Who companion that didn't die in canon. Starting with Susan. /sarcasm

Okay, with the Donna thing I'll explain what I was thinking... You know how in The End of Time when it looks like she's about to regenerate and then it knocks her out as well as all the Master's in the alley? I was kind of thinking, what if that happened a couple of times and each time because of the blockage it would get stronger. Basically it's the mind of a Time Lord trying to escape. So I imagined what was happening was ten fold on what happened in End of Time which I imagined after a fair amount of time has passed would have killed half the UK. But that's just my weird arse mind...

And Luke. Yes, I killed Luke. But hey, I basically tell you that he grew up to be a great man so... yeah no it doesn't help. Sorry.

You've only gotten into the show in the past month or so!? I can tell you right now, I so could not tell. You talk about it like... (Sorry I got distracted, my Nan ate my last biscuit... WTF THAT WAS MY BISCUIT!) ...you've been into it for years ( ... )

I'm not saying it had any negative bearing on the world, but it makes him a possible target if River has is going to kill a great man.

Ah yes, even I who have watched it from the beginning for the past decade keep discovering new things. Just when you think you've got it all... THERE'S MORE. It's so great.

My main thing was the jacket. But the way he rushes off with River and then suddenly he's at Amy's side again... then wait he's still disappearing with River and there is no indication that he went back to Amy. If nothing comes out of it then they're going to have a real problem on their hands.

Dear sweet Lord I may have to disown you. Then friend you all over again for writing something so beautiful!

Brig! Wilf! LUKE? Gah. (It took me a while to work out it was Luke because I so didn't want it to be and I was looking for any way that it wasn't but it is, isn't it?) Donna. Hmph.

I hate you. But I love you.

Yes it's Luke. Because it occurred to me that saying someone is a great man doesn't mean we have seen them be one yet, they have time to become one. And I can imagine Luke fighting/helping aliens all his life just like his Mum.

I'm glad you hate me for it because it means that you really got into it. So thank you. ♥

I don't think I should speak to you for the amount of time it takes you to wake up and read this. You killed like EVERYONE. EVERYONE THAT MATTERS TO ME.

The Brig! Wilf! YOU FRAKKING KILLED LUKE. I CANNOT ACCEPT THIS. EVEN NOW AS I SPEAK, I HAVE SARAH JANE LIKE TEARS IN MY EYES.

THE FACE OF BOE?! WOT?! WOT?! WOT?!

*shakes head* I need to go pout for a while.

Yes, I am aware of this.

In fairness to River, the Face of Boe requested her assistance with killing himself as it was his time to die... and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought there was more to it than simply dying of old age. I assumed he'd had a hand in it (so to speak) since the first time I saw that episode. But it looks like murder and he was the last of his kind and a well known figure, so she was arrested for it. And FoB and the Sister didn't tell the Doctor about River because it wasn't his time to know her yet.

Now you see why I said "speaking of Sarah Jane..."
