Can I just say? I kind of loved Donna this episode. Which... is surprising to me. I could not stand her in The Runaway Bride, and had mixed feelings towards her in Partners in Crime (ranging from 'ehn, she's kinda funny' to 'oh god stab her with a stabby thing'), but this episode she just really clicked for me. I was sympathetic to her feelings, I agreed with her decisions... I didn't even find her voice annoying. I though she had some really great moments, too; 'don't worry about us' and putting her hand on the volcano detonator, taking responsibility along with the Doctor.
It's looking like series four maybe won't suck!

I have to say, I didn't like Donna much in 'The Runaway Bride' and was a bit dubious about the casting choice when I heard about it. But after watching all of Season 4, she ended up being my favourite companion on New Who.

I was devastated by the finale to series 4. I just felt so bad for Donna, even though I'd been expecting something to happen to her, since they've not had the same line up yet between one series and the next, but still. That was pretty shitty. I like to think somewhere deep down, she still knows.

I'm not terribly good at choosing a "favourite" Companion, though. Because, really, I loved them all quite a lot in their turn. With the possible exception of Mickey, and even he grew on me a bit (okay, if I'm being completely honest I would have to admit that said growing-on-me occurred mainly while he was tied up and shirtless ;) Although I am looking forward to him and Martha joining Torchwood). Still, Donna is definitely the one who rose the most in my affections, and I wish she could've stayed on. Or at least had a less depressing send off!
