Turn Left (3011/411)

[Reefgirl]

Spoiler:

She's definitely leaving after this series, I'm also pretty sure she's not in the Christmas special. Sob. Donna Noble, you shall be horribly missed.
but I don't think Donna dies. Too many hints this episode that she's gonna become Super!Donna - time moving "around her", like Rose said, the fortune teller saying not only "what are you" but the extremely weird "what will you be" and the Doctor pointing out there's too much coincidences around her.... they're doing something with Donna I think Rose is the one to go to - if she's already back in this reality, there's nothing to stop her from travelling again with the Doctor, which I'm very sure isn't going to happen - there would have to be a damn good explanation (i.e Rose dies) for her not to travel with him again.

Spoiler:

If that's the case, Super!Donna-wise, I hope that have plans for her to come back, I really want to see Donna again

shouldnt earth already been destroyed by the creatures in fires of pompei???

cos if it wasnt for the doctor the fire creatures would of converted earth into their new homeworld??

Look back over the thread, I think the issue has been addressed, but people are still divided over it. For instance, in regards to Pompeii, perhaps another incarnation of the Doctor came along around this time period and was able to stop the situation, or someone/thing else stepped in. We can't possible predict a timeline once it becomes altered beyond our comprehension.

I liked it, I'm surprised with CT I thought I would hate her but she's actually really good.

Did anyone else think that Rose sounds...different to the old Rose? It's like she sounded retarded...but maybe that's just the BBC iPlayer

And then we'll get angsty Doctor! Yaaaaaaaaay!

I know there's been various theories about how such things might have been resolved but however you retcon it, the simple fact is that in the scope of this one episode, they could only deal with the events that happened in the modern-day timeline of Alt!Donna's life. Trying to explain away, in this episode, why the world didn't end at the time of Pompeii or Shakespeare is just far too fiddly and complicated.

the thing about the doctor not regerating again is prob he just lost rose and probley lost the woman that was dosed with the partical things and thought its prob to much n just gave up, and rose she may be more mature grown up less 'chav'

[Celestial]

A fantastic episode. Loved CT's acting and I've really warmed to her character. I've actually grown to like her character development this season and have found her to be a more enjoyable companion for the Doctor.

Never expected the Bad Wolf twist - brilliant! And the bug like sound....creepy!

Loved the TARDIS sounding it's Cloister Bell and emitting that red light and the look on the Doctor's face.

Can't wait to see a lot of character cross-overs next episode, does this mean.....

Spoiler:

that the entire Series is finishing altogether or is it only a Season Finale?
And....has anyone speculated that it may be the Doctor yet again who may die (and regenerate) to save the world and the entire Universe? Is David Tennant coming back for next season if there is a next season? I'm not up to date on who's coming back or not apart from CT

The nex two episodes are the final episodes in this season. There will not be a full season next year but instead will be I think 4 "specials" (probably longer than a normal episode length) throughout the year. There will then be a full season again airing in 2010.

Spoiler:

It's unlikely the Doctor dies and regenerates at the end of this Season as DT has already filmed the Christmas special and I believe is signed up for the specials. Whether he returns for the full season in 2010 has yet to be determined - last I heard, he claimed he hadn't been asked yet and that if and when he was asked he would think about it.

it's quite simple really, for donna to have turned right, she must first have been born, and she could not have been born in a world that was destroyed therefore "turn-right-land" must be an AU where neither of the historical events happened at all, it's only 2 events in the whole of time, and as the doctor said the timeline reshaped around donna.

basically, as other people have said... wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff

the Doctor's hand might somehow regenerate. It's been mentioned in all of the seasons so far. So he may well die and regenerate from that.

I think the hand will play a part somehow. RTD said that there will

Spoiler:

be a regeneration this season, so unless the Master shows up that only leaves the Doctor. But 10 will be around next year so its all a bit confusing.

The reason why it's being treated as an extra special episode with so many guest characters is becuase it is more or less Doctor Whos 200th storyline. (Not episode. Storyline) So they're trying to make it extra special. I think it's also the 45th anniversary of Doctor Who and it's Also RTD's last couple of episodes as producer before Steven Moffat takes over so there are a lot of things to make these next two eps very special.

Or his daughter Jenny, as she may have regenerated considering she's gallifreyan

Spoiler:

I wonder if it has something to do with what is supposed to happen to Donna, highly unlikely I know but a girl can dream

Spoiler:

She's not a timelord tho

Spoiler:

we don't know enough about gallifreyan physiology and biology to really speculate, she does have two hearts, and i read somewhere one that fanon says you dont get your second heart until your second regeneration, and she's a clone of the doctor, who's to say the regeneration ability is not genetically encoded? therefore a clone of a timelord would also have all the timelords abilities.

"Don't get chippy with me, Vera Duckworth! Pop yer clogs on and go feed t'whippets!!"

Bwahaha! Tate's lines are always so stinging.

On second viewing, I also really like Capt. Magambo of UNIT, and I hope we see her again.

It's also interesting to note that Rose jumps realities to look for the Doctor, as if he only exists in one nexus. Otherwise why would she be spending so much time looking for our Doctor when she could find another?

[huntress]

And then we'll get angsty Doctor! Yaaaaaaaaay!

Is it twisted when I say that I love dark and angsty doctor? I like him better when he is NOT happy but then again I am a fan of "Battlestar Galactica" LOL

That line was perfect

I was hoping beyond hope that she'd say I'm Brigadier Bambera but I guess she's retired now.

Interesing point

[Alipeeps]

That line was perfect

I found it particularly entertaining as I live in (though am not from originally) Leeds!
