Okay okay okay I am having THOUGHTS again and I'm legitimately so angry and upset by how Donna's ending could have been so good without even fundamentally changing what actually happened (aka the memory wipe to save her life) if instead of her begging not to go her final interaction with Ten had been a CONVERSATION. Like yes I understand it would've been less sad or whatever but IMAGINE how powerful it would have been if she knows she's going to die, both of them know, Ten slowly goes to wipe her memory while she's still in tears, but she wraps her hands around his wrists to stop him. They stare at each other for a moment, and then Ten quietly says, "Please. Please, Donna, I can't let you die like this. I can't bear to be the one that kills you." And she studies him for a moment, searches, and then ever so gently nods. "Okay. I want to live. Just..leave me something??? Anything? Just to dream of?" And he's devestated as he replies simply "Donna..." And she's like "one little thing? You're the Doctor, you can do that, I know it." And he's agrees and you don't know if it's a comforting lie or not but then he wipes her memory and it's an act of love, of losing some of both of yourselves in order to stay alive, and it's more bitter than sweet but at least it's a decision they made together
