How anyone can't see that that was really the whole point of TL ... to show that all Donna needs is someone TRULY believing in her and she CAN and WILL be THE Donna, I don't know, but I get that a lot of people don't see it.
I don't understand it either, especially given the overwhelming positive response to "Turn Left." Maybe part of the problem is that many people did not like TRB Donna, and so they don't really connect the amazing things she went on to do with the person she already was. But again "Turn Left" should prove that who she was was pretty awesome too.
I just don't think that FA is as nearly a strong an actress as BP and CT...
Yeah, I agree that's she's the weaker actress.
Never watched old school, so I just know of Romana, never watched her.
Oh, you should! You might like Romana... she's actually got quite a bit in common with Donna. She's never afraid to tell the Doctor he's wrong, which he initially resents, but they become great friends.
Right. For me, it's basically what Tennant has said: Rose is the love of his life. HOWEVER, being 900+ years old, he's gonna have other loves. I DO think that Rose is special; she's the love of his life.
I think that's a great way to put it. :D
He doesn't care if he lives or dies without Rose. Sob, sob.
OMG emo-Doctor angst! I didn't exactly dislike "42", but I found it unremarkable. I've only seen it once, and I'm sure if I saw it again I'd see things I liked... the problem is I just can't remember much of it. The other things that I really liked or really disliked about series 3 stand out so much more.
