A Little More Who/Donna Stuff

[ithildin]

I realized why my annoyance seemed so familiar: Nick getting LaCroix to wipe Tracy's memories of Vachon's death after 'Ashes to Ashes'. I really hated Nick for that.

And I still don't think it makes any sense. Maybe her family won't talk about it, but what about all the time she's been gone and what will her friends say? It's just there's so many other things they could have done, but they settled for a memory wipe. Very weak storytelling IMHO.

A bit later as I continue to ponder...

It would have been better to put her in a situation where she wakes up and they tell her she was in an accident and do the 'you have amnesia' thing. I still would have thought it was crap, but it would hold up better than what they ended up doing.

God, you wouldn't believe how hard I was crying during the last ten minutes. Openly SOBBING.

*Hugs.* I understand. Rusty crushed me twice over with his treatment of Jack in "The Parting of the Ways". I'm sure I didn't get as attached to Martha and Donna as I might have if he hadn't both killed and abandoned Jack in TPOTW. I'm so sorry Rusty hurt you like he did.

I can't express how happy this theory/explanation of yours makes me.

*Smiles.* I'm really glad this helps make up for how Rusty made you feel.

But you're right - the prophecies from everyone said, "You will become something new." Which she still is.

*Nods.* Just this afternoon I've had a couple of more thoughts about how hybrid!Donna could be so much more then the Bad Wolf!Rose redux people seem to be talking about her as. 1) The glowy eye business that they showed while Donna was claiming it took Davros' zap to kick her brain into gear could've been Time Lord healing in action. I still believe Jenny healed on her own, not from the terra forming energy. 2) There was lots of talk about human!Doctor only having one heart, but no discussion of whether or not Time Lord!Donna had one heart or two. ;)

The Doctor will be PWNED!

Oh, hell's yes! The more I think about it the more I think Donna was playing him from the moment of hybridization. She got human!Doctor going so that he realized he sounded like her, and checked how many hearts he had. Donna waited in the TARDIS while human!Doctor charged out to face Davros, then came out and played the bumbling human companion so that Davros just zotted her instead of confining her like everyone else. She was totally in control of things from the beginning. :D
