I just read this, and I would like to reassure you that, yes, I cried for Donna. I cried for the Doctor and Donna. He had to give up everyone again. I just don't know if I can stand much more of that. I know he gets River Song at some point in the future, but he'll have her knowing he's already consigned her ghost to an existential horror you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

And Donna...I think the reason we love Donna so much is that she is us. She is ordinary to the point of painfullness, and yet she yearns for the stars. And she attains them. And then, in the ultimate sacrifice, she has to give them up. It's crushing, utterly crushing when he leaves her in the kitchen.

I might have to go and watch the whole season again. I can't beleive it's not coming back next year.

I wrote a little fic about the Human Doctor, in it he went and found Donna and convinced Rose's father to give her a high flying job. Theere was a little more to it than that, but I just needed to do something for her. Y'know. I didn't want her to go on the dole and work in a crummy office for the rest of her life. Even if it was some other universe's Donna.

Anyway, I'm sure I've bored you with my DW waffle. If you really are shallow, or even as shallow as I am, you're prolly SO over it by now. ;)
