meddowSo there's this TV show, Doctor Who. You may have heard me mention it…
I have a feeling I'm going to spend the next week screaming at my laptop "Donna can't be Romana/the Rani/Susan, she's something NEW!" only to most likely be proven wrong or some such.
The trailer had very little new material. What was new related to either Davros or Donna.
Apparently Davros wants to destroy reality. Nice one Davros. Talking about cutting off ones nose to spite ones face. But he does get evil overlord points for planning to do it with a Death Star.
Use the force, Luk-…errr…Doctor!
But is this bit that breaks my heart:
Oh, Donna. She's alone. I know that for dramas she will probably have her face whatever it is/do whatever it is she has to do alone, but Donna's more likely to freak out and decide she's useless when she's alone, such as in The Poison Sky when she hides in the TARDIS and later in Turn Left in the circle for the first time. That latter scene is heartbreaking, particularly since Catherine Tate sold that terror just so incredibly well.
This last picture worries me. If the TARDIS console opens up and Donna becomes Bad Wolf version 2.0 I'm going to throw things. Donna's far too awesome to have a character arc recycled from Rose's. On the other hand, maybe Donna's TARDIS flying lessons will come in handy. She, now that's something I would love to see: the reverse of PotW. The TARDIS emerges and instead of a sparky gold deity, we get Donna Noble, petrified, uncertain and surprised she's still in one piece.
Also, no sacrificing herself to save Rose so Rose and the Doctor can be together forever. Ten/Rose just killed one half of the DoctorDonna, it's not having the other half. Yes, I was highly amused when the grand long-awaited reunion ended up killing Ten. In perfect world he'd regenerate into Jim Broadbent and try to pick things up with Rose from there. I'd be laughing my arse off for days.
(Sorry Rose fans. I was subjected to how Rose is the greatest companion of all time from my brother last night, leading to my grumpy attitude towards Rose and Ten/Rose today. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual Rose tolerant self shortly).
