This is all very emotional but uh...
Rose's 10th Doctor has a part of Donna in him. Meaning that once in a while, out of nowhere, he'll act like Donna. That's how their lives are gonna go.

It said that Steven Moffat invented the word "Vashta Nerada" for the name of the shadow piranas in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead because it would sound really great when David Tennant says it.
Well, Steven's not wrong.

Can't stop thinking of Doctor Who modern art gags:
I honestly forgot how good and funny Doctor Who was
I was feeling sad so I started re-watching some of the more “fun” doctor who episodes. (clearly I'm shit at making good decisions)
But it reminded me of how brilliant the comedy was. I mean you do end up curled on the floor weeping but you also spend a great deal of the episode pissing yourself with laughter

"The Unicorn and the Wasp" thoughts
this is the best historical of the davies era. sorry
i really think it has exactly the right vibe. charles dickens was a good pick bc he was instantly recognizable (unlike madame du pompadour) but not too famous to portray normally (unlike shakespeare). agatha cristie, again, extremely recognizable, but not ubiquitous. i imagine many people like myself are more familiar with the "vibe" of her stories than the actual content. and i think a fun murder mystery is a better use of a historical figure than a mostly-unrelated ghost-not-ghost thing that's mostly about the doctor's survivor's guilt
i loved the setting, the costumes. the scene where the doctor is dying of cyanide and needs to shock himself out of it is ICONIC, i can't believe i'd completely forgotten about it. HOW IS HARVEY WALLBANGER ONE WORD. and then revealing all the secrets and learning the wasp secret. condolences on the dead gay son
i was kind of caught up, though, on the doctor and donna AGAIN being confused for a couple. i mean, i get why it happens all the time in "bones", bc they're doing a will-they-won't-they and the two leads ARE secretly in love w each other. but the doctor and donna aren't, and they don't even act like they would be. and people assume it straightaway without even talking to them first. why is that?
and i think it's another example of the kind of. inevitability, of the season ending. in the same way that there were so many hints about "bad wolf" both in the text (kept coming up as graffiti, code names, in welsh) and in the music (had its own theme). it drew rose towards that ending, both as an active choice (she'd heard the words bad wolf and knew they were linked to her somehow) and as the creators' doylist decisions (the music again). the characters in this story recognize that there is a link between the doctor and donna so profound that they can only conceive of it as romantic. and this has been true since the beginning! she appeared on the tardis in "runaway bride" bc this is her DESTINY. it was always going to happen! she's been dead since the beginning!!!
i don't know if that was intended but it's the only thing that makes sense to me. we know from last episode that the cut-off hand drew them to jenny, who wasn't created until they landed. paradoxes exist. donna keeps getting drawn closer and closer to forming the relationship that is so profound it echoes back through her every adventure with the doctor. doctordonna, two souls in one body. the bad wolf was rose/tardis, it was THE representation of the rose-doctor relationship, that's why the theme played every time they got codependent in s2. the doctor and donna aren't in love, not like he was with rose, but it's the same kind of relationship, melding at intimate seams until it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. it's an intimacy that leads to extreme vulnerability which is why he's able to violate her mind like that
the episode is too good for me to have much to say about it so that's what i thought about instead. the echoes, the echoes. this was always going to happen.

getting emotional about donna noble
i’m rewatching turn left and just… she is the most important woman in the whole of creation
she saved the doctor when he had just lost rose, when he was most likely to fall apart
but it’s more than that. she became his best friend. i honestly don’t think any other companion’s relationship is like theirs. there’s no romance, just the doctor and donna making fun of each other and holding each other up and being brilliant
and they love each other. so much
the doctor quite literally became a part of her what more can i say
