The Great 30-Day Who MEME!!!! - Day Seventeen

What is your favorite Donna moment?


It may sound silly, but my favorite Donna moment is from Partners in Crime when she's miming to the Doctor. It's just too funny! I love Catherine Tate best when she's being hilarious, and she is nothing but hilarious in that scene. I especially love how you can tell exactly what she's saying for most of it and I LOVE the freaked out look on the Doctor's face as he watches the mime show. You go Donna!

So what about you? What's your favorite moment featuring Donna?

Tomorrow: What's your favorite Amy moment?

What how am I supposed to pick. ;_;

The miming scene from Partners in Crime is definitely a contender, though I think "all of Fires of Pompeii" may beat it out. She's just so awesome in that episode from beginning to end. Not that she isn't in most of the others (I say most of instead of all because... well, I'll get into that below), but that one's particularly stand-out awesome for me, mainly because of her efforts to save the people of Pompeii, and the line "Donna, human, no!" The miming is a close second, as is... well, actually, there are way too many.

I'd say "all of series four", but that would also include the end of Journey's End, and that is one of my least favorite moments of ANYTHING EVER. :'(
Possibly my worst bit of cheating yet: EVERY SECOND OF HER SCREENTIME.

I reaaly honestly can't choose. She's either doing something hilarious, something heartbreaking or something UTTERLY AWESOME. I keep thinking I've harrowed it down to one moment but then I'll remember five more equally awesome ones and I'm stuck again.

Okay, if I really have to, my top three: "Are you shouting at thin air?" from End of Time (for funny, it's a minor one I know but I love it anyways), Begging the Doctor to go back and save Caecillius and his family in Fires of Pompeii (for heartbreaking) and every second as DoctorDonna in Journey's End (for awesomeness!)
Nope. No. Nuh-uh. I refuse. Flat out refuse to pick one ultimate Donna moment. That would imply that a single second of her screen time wasn't awesome. And I'm just not prepared to lie to you guys like that.
All. All of Donna. Birth to Death Donna was made of awesome.

I think I'm gonna say Donna pleading with the Doctor to save people in Fires of Pompeii. It's just such a defining aspect to her character and her role this season - that she's not going to accept that "fixed point" nonsense if it means people dying when they don't have to.


Actually, her in that entire ep is amazing. I love the "Donna, human, no!" line, and her being cool with the family, and compassionate about the daughter but still irate as hell with the soothsayers.
What the hell are these questions?

Off the top of my head I love just about every time she's with the Doctor being ignored and she's like "I'm Donna Noble, I'll have a salute" but I'll probably think of like 20 more in the next few minutes.

I'm with everyone else, ALL OF HER SCENES. The most awesome of her awesome scenes would probably be helping the Doctor push that lever in "Fires of Pompeii."

I'm going with Donna mime as well. Tennant and Tate's chemistry is so amazing, they can be hilarious without even being in the same room!
I have to say, we've had some pretty awesome timing with this meme. The Favorite Rose Moment day was on the day of the Turn Left review, Martha's was on the day when she returned, and now Donna's is happening right before she leaves :(
YOU'RE MAKING ME CHOOSE ONE? How dare you! Well in that case, I choose all of Partners in Crime because I'm unoriginal like that. Then I have to give a nod to when she becomes Doctor Donna because that brief moment she was Doctor Donna was pretty awesome if you ignore what happens next ;sniff; scuse me, I need a moment...
Choose one? No, not possible. Her and Ten are the best combination ever, and every single one of their (And her on her own) scenes is utterly awesome. I'm prepared to list a top 5, though:

1. Charades - "The Unicorn And The Wasp"
1. Miming - "Partners In Crime"
1. The DoctorDonna - "Journey's End"
1. Saving The Pompeians - "The Fires Of Pompeii"
1. Donna'll have a salute too, thanks - "The Sontaran Stratagem"

Just to prove that Ten and Tate have awesome moments even when they're not on Doctor Who: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxB1gB6K-2A

*Salute*
This is tough because like everyone has said, the real answer is everything that Donna does and everything that Donna says is the "best moment" of Donna. And even my answer will be cheating, but here we go.

The entire episode of "Turn Left". It just goes to show how awesome Donna is without the Doctor. She is just so fierce and feisty and Wilf is awesome and it is the one episode, before "Journey's End", where Sylvia, Donna's mom, isn't just terrible and you can see how much Donna loves her family and how strong she is for keeping on despite the world falling to pieces around her. Donna is that person who keeps her life moving even though aliens invade or the Titanic hits London because sometimes it is not about the world, but about the people you care about. I just love her so much and I love watching her live her life. Even when the Doctor is not involved.
