Russell Davies is so damn lucky he's leaving Doctor Who...

Finally finished watching the last of Season 30 (Season 4 to all of you with no sense of history).

( Enraged and slightly unhinged fanboy rant through here. Cut for those avoiding spoilers. )

To be fair, they had to get rid of Donna somehow because Catherine Tate only wanted to do one year then move on.

This I didn't know, but still. Blondie gets wish fulfillment but Mickey gets hosed again and Donna's forcibly reverted to being a self-centered bitch. She should've been given a more dignified exit, allowed to keep her new sense of self-esteem.

Bitter, I am.

The rumor is that Mickey gets a job with a certain small group in Cardiff.

I figured, after the way he was jogging after Martha and Jack. :)

I'd say for some time that we're the lucky ones.

I've been saying for some time:

You'd not hang your wallpaper with porridge.
You'd not use a cube of jelly to tighten up a screw.
So why comission RTD to write sci-fi?

I can't wait to see where it goes in Stephen's hands. Woot!

I haven't heard this kind of hate since the JNT/Sixth Doctor years...

Maybe now that she has her own doctor clone she'll go away?

One may dearly hope.

i'm so glad i got spoiled for all the crap that was going to happen...much better for my blood pressure. i had time to steel myself against the stupid, so i wasn't actually throwing things in the last five minutes of the episode.

it's hard to know where to start with all the things that were offensive about this episode - from rose's selfish, childish, dangerously homicidal behavior being viewed as 'romantic', to the doctor's 'gift' to rose being to make her a lifelong nursemaid to a 'defective' clone, to the fact that handjob!ten didn't seem to need the same mindwipe as donna because he's a man, and, well, of course a woman could never hold a man's entire intellect in her poor tiny mind; good gods her head would asplode ( ... )

Well, I'm willing to give the Time Lordiness brains a pass, on the theory that Romana's brain could've fried Donna's just as efficiently, and that the clone's biomatrix is originally the Doctor's (i.e., Gallifreyan) and modified by hers, not replaced by it.
Damn, I can handwave with the best of 'em when I need to.
I like the idea of Rose being saddled with a 'broken' Doctor. That actually makes me feel better. I love seeing Mickey back, now that he's grown a set-one expects we'll be seeing him on Torchwood now. Oh, jeez, Jack and Mickey… NO. BEHAVE, BRAIN.
Also, check my brilliant friend Biz's suggestion below re: Donna's ring. :)
