The Doctor has killed the Daleks before, or believed that he has, and he killed his own people to do it, that was during the Last Great Time War (ooooh enunciate the captial letters) at a time when the Timelords were losing and the Daleks would probably enslave the whole universe. Thats a big probably. The Doctor slaughtered two whole species in one go for a probably but he gets all righteous when v2.0 kills them for a gonna-destroy-the-universe-in-ten-nine-eight. What exactly could he have done with the Daleks? Put them in the TARDIS attic and leave them there? Though our household voted for leaving them spinning round and round and round and round and round and round....
Personally I'm fine with what he did to Donna, in a way (which alas wont be commented on in the media) doing that to Donna is a reflection in some small part of what her 'comedy' helps to do to our kids. We've got a whole generation of kids that could have adventures but instead end up sitting around being intentionally stupid "yeah but no but... bovvered!" I know there are other factors than Catherine Tate but she just makes me so mad. Donna always had the potential to have adventures but she chose not to until the CAAAAAAN made it that way. No she goes back to not being bovvered.
Question- if the DoctorDonna can't survive with all that knowledge in her head, how can v2.0 of the Doctor, in a more or less human body, survive? Also how is someone with the Doctor's personality gonna cope with sitting on one tiny planet, living one day at a time, including sundays? Plus I bet the whole human metabolism/needing to sleep/not eating tons of sugar and chips and still being thin thing is going to be a real shock to his system. In the guise of a gift the Doctor has really handed Rose a living nightmare, the face of one doctor, the mind of another stuck in a body/life that neither would ever want to live. Whilst it seems to be handing the fans what they want it is also kind of saying "really, you'll get second best, cos we get to do what we like with OUR character, thank you very much, go play with your damaged reject."
More than anything I'm glad RTD is gone. I'm sick of the gay jokes, I'm sick of the intentional fucking with characters and stories, I'm just sick and tired of his writing. Moffat wrote the best episodes (though he stopped them killing Jenny and that kinda annoyed me) and frankly he probably can't make a worse mess of this than RTD has so far. I bet Moffat could have thought of a solution to the Daleks. The King is dead, long live The Grand Moff!
