Of course, I'm so far from being a reliable source on this that I only saw an episode with Donna in it for the first time last Saturday. The Christmas Special. Hey look! There was a Black guy! And by the end of the episode, he was both evil and dead! I know I was shocked. [Note: I had just finished discussing the latest bit in Supernatural where there was a Black guy! and he was both evil and dead! so my watching that special was rather coloured by the earlier conversation.] I dunno, it read to me as “I am more special than you and this proves the Doctor loves me MORE”.

I will feel right royally ripped off if she doesn't make a comeback.

We didn't actually see much of Donna at the end of <i>Journey's End</i> -- all we know is that she didn't believe the whole Dalek thing had happened, which is no different to how she was in <i>The Runaway Bride</i>, where she'd missed the Cybermen and the Sycorax. Having said that, I do agree that we need more closure on her story arc. I don’t know about that, Mindy.

There has to be more for her. She was much more before they met than the Dr left her with. You wouldn't want what he left to be anyone's companion. He took away everything that made her so interesting in the first special when she was getting married. They definitely need to do something about Donna’s story arc. There has to be more for her.
