Was there ever any doubt I would see this today? Nope!
ROSE! ROSE! ROSE! ROSE! ROSE! ROSE! ROSE!
BAD WOLF!
OMG!!
:squuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeEEEE:
Okay, I'm better now. So...back to my crack theories. It is the same old story. I think Donna is the first human Time Lord. I think whatever is coming...they need two Time Lords to stop it. There will be some major earthshattering solution...and the Doctor will say..."If only we had another Time Lord." And then someone will say..."What's so special about Time Lords? What would they do?"
And it will dawn on him that he could elevate a human...Rose. But then she wouldn't be Rose Tyler anymore. Just like Jackie said, she would lose herself in the greater identity. And the Doctor loves her...like a man loves a woman. He doesn't want her to change, be less Rose...because Rose is perfect in his eyes.
So...here's what I think...I think the Doctor does what he says in The Doctor's Daughter...he shares his history, his pain, his knowledge...and regenerative ability...with someone...to make them a Time Lord. Then, perhaps...his current life can be less stressful (or celibate) for a time. It is sort of a release of his obligations...he turns them over to someone else for a little while. He was Time Lording up Rose...but he fell in love with her. And she became the Bad Wolf...and well...everything changed. Now, he's Time Lording up Donna.
I don't think he's doing it on purpose, though. I don't think the light has dawned on him yet. I think it is like all of the aliens breeding this season. Life finding a way (as they say in Jurassic Park).
This would stamp RTD's mark on this series forever. It would become a show about the elevation of the human race. The Doctor is the last Gallifreyan Time Lord...but Donna could be the start of human Time Lords. And the show can become a true Two-Hander from now on. No more of this "Ignore the companion...she's just supposed to look pretty and scream...she's not important...only he is" nonsense. Maybe it was always about making the companions just as important as the Doctor. AND RTD has a throughline...like I've been saying for...what is it now...? Three years?
Okay...enough of my crack!theories. As Kes would say, "You are overthinking this! We will see."
Let's go back to squeeing over...oh, so much intertwining beauty. Rose is her universe's Doctor. Shee doesn't use a name...but only Bad Wolf. And she understands that part of who he is. She fights on alone. She says stuff he'd say. She won't let the UNIT people salute her. And she is screaming for him still...more than his name this time...HER NAME...all those words...flags...the TARDIS. And he didn't hear her! And now...the universe is indeed ending...but Rose is coming back...and isn't that good?
"Yeah!" YEAH, IT IS!
And didn't you just love how Rose dodged the question of what sort of relationship she had with the Doctor? And that bit about his hair! I know a lot of the hair-brigade people on my FList are squeeing over that one. And she was just made of awesome! Because she is.
Also, how cool is it to get confirmation on the fact that the Doctor wanted to die in S3? That he would have died without Donna there to distract him after he lost Rose? I mean...he totally loves Rose and would have simply died in that horrible way...genocide and suicide. Who says the companions aren't important now? Not me, that's for sure.
I do have questions! When the Doctor said, "It is the end of the universe!" I wonder does he say that because he knows if Rose is coming back the universe will shatter...or does he know that Bad Wolf means the end of the universe...because he had it inside of him, too?
Let me think on that...I do think that Jack is a storehouse for the Bad Wolf energy...and it will come into play in the finale. Okay...and so...let's say the Doctor has always known...that if Rose stayed with him she would be pushed to the point where he would have to give her the regenerative ability...losing the woman he loves to save the universe. But the Bad Wolf has other ideas...and Donna and Jack are part of its plan. And it will be Donna who is Time Lorded up...to go on traveling...forever. And Rose and Ten will get to make time babies.
That's my crack and I'm smoking it until RTD takes away the pipe. Two weeks...two weeks...Lord, I hope we don't cliffhanger to Christmas...on anything but what happens next to Donna.
