Bu...I am still bothered at how Donna has been left! <BR/><BR/>But i've been thinking about the whole 'Turn Left' episode! <BR/><BR/>For Donna to become the Doctor/Donna and save the multiverse, the Donna that got ran over by the lorry in Turn Left may not have died? All she had to do was cause an effect for the other Donna to Turn right in her car. Are there two Donna's? Both Donna's not remembering their pasts (one because her memory was wiped by the Doc; one because she has amnesia after being ran over by a lorry!)<BR/><BR/>There are alot of possibilities for Donna to come back-why not.....!<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-44981299724796114342008-08-18T08:24:00.000-06:002008-08-18T08:24:00.000-06:00How he had to leave Donna is still bothering me to...How he had to leave Donna is still bothering me today, actually. I genuinely LIKED Donna Noble. It would have been better, to me, if she had died saving the universe and the whole of time rather then going back to the self deprecating temp from Chiswick. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-33893505671187901922008-08-02T05:57:00.000-06:002008-08-02T05:57:00.000-06:00It bugged me, too. The only thing I could get out ...It bugged me, too. The only thing I could get out of it is that hopefully Donna's mum will not always be pulling her down. It's like her family got her experience memories, rather than her.<BR/><BR/>Still, and this is important: the Trickster fortune teller was blown away by how strong Donna was. While full (and new) Time Lord consciousness was too much for her, she might grow into some of it. It's got to be still there, or what would it matter if her family reminded her? <BR/><BR/>And I wonder about the half time lord thing: does that only mean shared memories? Because that would be lame. None of that golden swirly mist came out of her when her memories were removed.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention, there's a huge plot opportunity in that sure, her family were told "don't tell her" but what about the other Children of Time? So they need something, or they just happen to see her at the grocery store. She might think they're nuts, but if telling her things is so dangerous, there's a good chance they'll trip a switch in her head somewhere. Here's hoping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-69254507034622983672008-07-15T11:15:00.000-06:002008-07-15T11:15:00.000-06:00I like your question. What I'm guessing is that Do...I like your question. <BR/><BR/>What I'm guessing is that Donna's tragedy is more for us viewers than for herself:<BR/>Perhaps now we can all look at ourselves, and no matter how restricted or dull or ordinary our lives *seem*, and we can now wonder 'what if'...who knows, maybe once upon a time I SAVED THE UNIVERSE! WOO HOO!! and dig deeper into ourselves for THAT person.<BR/><BR/>So I pitied her for a moment, but then thought ... no... those experiences are still part of her, even if they're not part of her consciousness now, and it's ok. It's almost like the end of Casablanca, where you're disappointed at the end because they didn't get together, then realise the story is somehow better with a bittersweet finish, instead of the big gooey dessert with the expected cherry on top.<BR/><BR/>I think this is a great discussion topic for writers, too--ok, this ending was not a neat little tied-up-with-a-bow package, but does that NOT make it better somehow? Or at least more/less intriguing? Which would 'stick' more with a viewer/reader? Which would lead to more discussion and wondering?<BR/><BR/>So, in the end, I'm good with it.<BR/>:-)Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25667786.post-40226732758105735052008-07-07T17:55:00.000-06:002008-07-07T17:55:00.000-06:00Wow, thanks for this review!
