I'm behind in a lot of shows, caught a wee bit of House last night. So they killed off that one guy? (Whose name I can't remember since it's always been "there's House...and all these other people" to me.) I really hate when shows kill off characters. It's a bit like making someone pregnant for a dramatic Sweeps birth, only to never see the child again. And...the guy they killed off? Pretty much the one person who had non-predictable dialog on a regular basis. MEH, House. MEH. Well, this show had been waning on me for a while - ever since I realized that they never ever ever stray from their little plot formula. Ever.
I'm really really really hoping this means Donna will be able to regain her memories. There's the issue of her not returning to DW/travel with the Doctor again (unless they'll pull a surprise and have CT return in S5), so maybe she'll have something in her life to keep her there. It would be lovely to find that Donna's found her own self-worth, which is something she never could find while with the Doctor - only finding it after absorbing part of the Doctor. Donna needs to know that Donna is a fabulous person. Not DoctorDonna.

So far only rumors of BP returning. And with the obvious Donna & Wilf focus in the storyline, I can't imagine that Rose would be playing any kind of major role, if any. They've done the whole reunion thing already. Perhaps a flashback? I'd take new material in a flashback. Although, I do think there are Issues that could be resolved. And BP has said that she wanted to be there for the regeneration. I think it'd be lovely to have all three there - Donna, Martha and Rose. I mean actually there with him, not just as flashbacks. Surrounded by the people who'd been the most important to him during the RTD era, and not alone and sobbing in the rain. (TAKE NOTE, RTD.)

Just don't be killing/hurting/maiming Ten II!! I'm completely in love with the little world RTD created by sending Rose and Ten II to the altverse (along with Jackie.) DON'T WRECK THAT. Actually, I think it could be a bit of fantastic to have the Doctor regenerate to Eleven in the middle of the story arc, and wind up with his semi-typical amnesia. Ten II then has to try to get Eleven to remember things (while probably battling the Master.) DT and MS running around together could be a great way to pass the torch. Last time the audience had Rose to help it through the transition, with her disbelieving and then accepting the new Doctor. This time the former Doctor himself could help the audience with the transition. At least if I were in charge, that's how I'd do it.
