Thoughts on Donna & the finale



I've started really fretting Donna's fate and especially more since I watched Turn Left again tonight. Unlike my last post regarding what I wanted with the Doctor's supposed regeneration this isn't what I want but more of what I don't want.

1. I don't want Donna to die
2. I don't want a reset

A few days ago I had stopped reading speculation posts about what's going to happen with Donna mostly because I didn't care for the majority of the existing ideas. The ones I especially don't like are: 'Donna is actually the Master or working with the Master' and 'Donna is still being controlled by the Racnoss'. Blech.

The other two ideas that seem quite popular are that Donna is a part of the Doctor somehow or that she's a fob-watched Time Lord. I kind of want Donna to be special all on her own, though I suppose if she were one of those things, it wouldn't make her any less special really. I'm not against either of these two things, certainly they're more preferable to me than the other two above but I just don't know.

Long time ago I heard a spoiler that the Doctor tells someone possibly Wilf (about Donna presumably) that "you can never tell her" and that line's haunted me ever since. It, along with those spoiler photos on the beach (assuming they're at the end of the episode) do help to alleviate the fear that she might die but I really don't want her to be reset. I want her to remember and know all the awesome stuff she and the Doctor did.

Donna has been an awesome companion and I just want a good ending for her story. *frets more*

You know, I don't think I've anticipated and worried and speculated this much about a show/fandom in awhile. And I realize this post probably has no point except me whining about things I don't want to see happen but I'm grasping at straws here and becoming more anxious.

That is all.

I agree with you. I really like Donna. I don't like those top two options either. I also don't like the Master theory either. Well, it's only a couple of days and we'll know.

I know, I just don't like waiting and get impatient a bit ;P

A part of The Doctor, hmm, how would that be and where did that come from. :P I can't agree with any of those ideas, but the latter two are better than the first, and I'd probably prefer her being a Time Lord because it would make more sense than the others, but I still don't want that to be.

I don't want a reset either. :/

A good ending would be nice yes...but I won't mind her dying as long as RTD's script is great.

hehe :)

Well most of what I've read suggests that she is either like a daughter or split from part of him after something in the Time War. Both are a little idk lol but I've heard it around enough to think about it and mention it.

Actually, and it's extremely rare that I'm saying this because character death is typically the worse case scenario for me and while I don't want her to die (I'm just stuck on wanting a happy ending is all) I'd be ok with it as long as it's done well. Same goes for Rose too, as they're the only two I really feel are in danger of dying. Just as long as it's a good story and that it has purpose. But I'd really rather everyone lives and is happy at the end ;P

Meh :P

Yeah of course we wish that. Yeah, if it happens it happens, but RTD better do both/either justice at the same time.

I love Donna, and her forgetting her time with the Doctor would break my heart. Being with the Doctor was let her see how important and useful she is, and I don't think the writers would do that to her. I don't want her to die either, but I'd prefer it over the reset. If she did die, I'm sure she'd die saving someone, being a hero, and I think I'd be happy with that. I'd still be depressed for a week, but I would be glad that she died a hero. I hadn't heard about the idea of her being a Time Lord, and not knowing it, like the Master. That would be kinda cool, but I do understand the feeling of wanting her to be special on her own. And I really don't like the idea of her actually being the Master. That's just lame, I'm sorry, but it is.

I know and that's why I really want her to know and remember. I actually think I'd prefer a hero-like death to that too. Yeah, even though I don't like a lot of the speculation surrounding Donna, those are the ones that seem to get the most discussion. I've highly doubted a lot of it but that's probably because I don't want to see it happen :P
