Wacky theory about Journey's End (Doctor Who)

Which I will put under a cut but spoilers are allowed in the comments. You have been warned.



Dalek Caan said "Everlasting death for the most faithful companion"

My bet is that the Doctor is gonna lose the TARDIS

Well, there's the TARDIS Jack is growing in the Torchwood Hub to take its place. :)

The novels actually did destroy the TARDIS. Paul Cornell destroyed it in The Shadows of Avalon. The replacement TARDIS was the Doctor's companion, Compassion. She was genetically engineered to receive radio waves and transform her biodata in accordance with them, and the TARDIS changed Compassion from a post-human into a TARDIS. That kicked off a story arc where Romana wanted to track down the Doctor so she could capture Compassion and force breed War TARDISes from her for the coming War.

However, the TARDIS got better. It took the better part of a century for it to grow back, but get better it did.

My theory on Donna is that she is the TARDIS. Or the essence of the TARDIS. Or the living personification of the Heart of the TARDIS. I think she's something that Rose created in "Parting of the Ways." She wasn't aware of it. And a false reality coalesced around the person that she created.

I didn't know that about the novels. Interesting.

I saw you post your theory elsewhere. :) It's not bad, but the problem is Davies already did the "Spirit of the Tardis" trick with Rose. I don't think he'll repeat himself. I also think Donna was completely normal until the whole Huon particles business. But I think that just primed her to become something more, and it was the alternate-universe trip that set things off for real.

I guess we'll find out next week. :)

I think it was in Turn Left that Rose told Donna she'd been different since birth.

Was it? I'll have to go back and rewatch it. Thanks!
