"I think it actually surprised everyone. I did a one-off "The Runaway Bride" and I remember I wasn't able to do the what's called the read-through, which happens a few weeks before you start filming, and it's where all the actors, the writer, the producer, everyone just sort of sits around a table and reads the episode. And one of the things that it's good for is for actors who have not worked together to just sort of see how you bounce off each other and stuff like that. Well, I wasn't available for it, so we didn't even know how we were gonna gel together. And it happened very quickly."

Everyone is assuming Rose Noble named herself that because the Ten part of her, inherited by the metacrisis, loved Rose so damn much. And yeah, that might be true or part of it, but let's not forget how significant Rose was to Donna. Because ROSE was the one following Donna from day dot of her adventures with the Doctor. ROSE was the one who sought Donna out in an alternative reality in which Donna had forgotten the Doctor (for the second time, if you count her experience being saved by the Library). ROSE was the one in that reality to tell her she was brilliant and important and belonged with the Doctor, NEEDED to be with The Doctor, AND he needed HER. And ultimately, it was Rose who helped her to get back to him. Rose told her she was brave and capable and could find a way. So while it's possible that Rose Noble named herself after Rose Tyler because Ten loved her so much, it's equally possible that the metacrisis part of Donna that Rose Noble inherited was trying to remind herself/her mother of the weird blonde woman who stalked her across dimensions, insisted that she remember (The Doctor, their adventures together and HER own importance) and returned Donna to her rightful place at the side of The Doctor. The suppressed memory of Rose Tyler inherited by Rose Noble is another indication that Donna Noble wanted to remember, (re)remind herself and return to the Doctor again.

Sometimes I think there's way too much coincidence around you, Donna.

DOCTOR WHO - 4.11 Turn Left

Imagine going back and telling those of us watching him wipe her memory in series 4 it would end like this.

“I really do remember though. Every second with you. I’m so glad you’re back, cause it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.”

The recognition of the fact that losing Donna was such a last straw for the tenth doctor though. He lost her, and Donna had been so perfect for him, and just…this line and the delivery is exactly about that.

Perhaps my all time favorite part of Ten and Donna's dynamic is whenever Donna's like 'hey I'm gonna head out" and Ten is like "I understand. I can't lie and say that I'm ready for you to leave but I would never try to trap you here. I love you and thank you and before you go I want you to know that you've changed me on a fundamental level your presence has rewritten my DNA for the better I'll remember you and sing your praises to the stars with my dying breath" and Donna's like "I'm going on a milk run. Calm the fuck down."

fascinating that when you tell people "you have to learn the rules to break them" when talking about drawing/painting etc everyone nods and agrees but the second you say "you have to read books if you want to write better" there's a horde of contrarians begging to be the wrongest people ever all of a sudden
