You didn't miss very much. She calls Wilf, the Master freaks out that there's still another human left, and he sends some of his clones to capture her. She's surrounded by them when Time Lord energy bursts out of her and knocks them out, then she faints.
I feel defensive, but these details weren't really clear enough:
- Mickey/Martha is wayyyy in the future, so presumably something natural and sensible has happened to Sexy Tom in the meantime. -The jailbait is Sarah Jane's son! And also an injoke for the people who worked on the show, since apparently they never look where they're going on set. And, he saw and spent time with Sarah Jane really recently (in the Sarah Jane Adventures), so I guess neither of them felt they needed to talk? She didn't try to engage him, anyway.
Also, didn't Rose talk to him first? It figures he would reply, in that situation. Although I did think it made little sense for him to visit her- why wouldn't she have remembered that meeting later?
I'm really hoping Moffat goes back to Donna. There's so much more that could be done with her character, and it wouldn't take much technobabble to dig her out of Rusty's mess.
Yeah, true, there was no way to tell the time span. Same with Jack/Alonso, it was probably a respectable amount of time after Children of Earth.
Rose did talk to him first, it was just more about the respective amount of time that the Doctor had spent with each of them. I'm guessing she wouldn't remember the meeting because he was still Nine when they first properly met?
A lot of people seem to be thinking that the woman in white is future!Donna, but I think there was something about her being the Doctor's mother?
Yeah, I don't think Ten would try to hook him up with anyone quickly. That'd just be rude.
Still! When he regenerated, she'd have thought he'd turned into that tramp she saw at New Year's! Pah. I mean, it's Doctor Who, so never mind, but it seems off. My theory is he was trying to hide in the dark, out of her sight, and had no plans to talk to her. But then she spotted him, and he couldn't ignore her. Which, fair enough.
Yeah, I had both those theories. I think being his mother makes a lot more sense, though. Or some relative of his, anyway.
I dunno, it was dark, and enough stuff would have happened between then and the regeneration that she could have forgotten. Thinking about it again, he didn't actually talk to anyone except for Wilf and Sylvia, he just wanted to meaningfully stare at everyone, apparently.
Yeah, if she was Donna, then there'd be all sorts of messy stuff with breaking into the lock on the Time War and such.
I still don't like that Donna did not get a proper ending. I mean, it was all 'OMGZ DON'T SAY ANYTHING HER HEAD WILL EXPLODE!'. Yeah and then she faints.
I also found the last 20 mins dragging on and on and on.
Oh yeah, but they were quite underused. I mean, Wilf was good, but I thought he'd also play a bigger part in the rescue or something. I dunno.
Hmm, no I don;t think I would've. But there were already two times before where it looked like he could've regenerated but no, he was still alive! That just bugged me. Draaaaaaaaaaaag.
Yeah, there was all of the stuff about Wilf being special, like the woman in white talking to him, but in the end it all revolved around the Doctor and the Master. That, and part of what made Donna so great was the chemistry between Tate and Tennant, and they didn't have any scenes together.
rofl he could have given Jack a goodbye kiss, too.

I raged so hard at that.
I have to wait for an upload and/or it to air tomorrow because I missed the first twenty minutes so I have no idea what happened with Donna.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I would have liked it more if he had intentionally talked to everyone.
