Whovians? I Say We Call Ourselves WHOLIGANS!

Dammit, you bastards.  WAKE DOCTOR!DONNA BACK UP.  You can’t just dangle the greatest character ever in front of me and then yank her away like that!
 
Fine.  I’ll get my own Time Lord.  With blackjack! And hookers! (They do seem to be handing them out like free condoms at the moment.  I’ll take two of each!)
 
… And now I’m either channelling Bender or Captain Jack. 

I told you it’d be a while before I became coherent. Like I said, check back in tomorrow.

I totally disapprove of this thing the Doctor is developing for leaving people alive but in slightly worse worlds/states. Like the space archaeologist he left in the Matrix. It's so unsatisfying.

And yes, damn them, Doctor!Donna was the BEST thing EVER.

[livejournal.com profile] vorindi and I are basically just fuming that he did what he did without ASKING her, without properly giving her a chance to choose. Maybe she would have chosen what she did. Maybe she would have chosen to go back and die with the people she loves around her, ala Cassandra. (Of course, Cassandra!Chip went back and died in her own arms, but I guess that IS the people she loves.)

But if we're never going to see Donna again in the show, I'd have liked to see her choose to die as what she became, in the arms of her mum and Gramps and the Doctor, or choose to live as what she was.

But we wanted to see her CHOOSE.

We also decided that as things are, we feel that the Doctor better DAMN WELL fetch whats-his-face from the episodes in the Library. It's the least he can do, and it's not like he'd ever get past his stammer enough to spill the beans.

YES TO THIS. BIG, FAT YES. The Doctor seems to have a hard time letting people live or die on their own terms (see: Astrid falling to her death after a moment of self-sacrifice, only to be brought back in the form of a half-conscious ghost long enough for the Doctor to smooch her and tell her she's flying before he 'releases' her... and River living in the matrix so the Doctor can pretend he's saved her).

Either that, or RTD has a hard time figuring out how to resolve character arcs, which is compounded by his tendency to write characters who have no lives and nothing better to do than travel with the Doctor forever.
