 I've got to say, at the beginning of this episode when the Doctor said he'd set the TARDIS to go to a random time and place... I was worried for a moment that they'd still coincidentally open up to modern day London.

+(First watched 2008-07-12) &nbsp;Another distant future where everybody seems to be modern. &nbsp;Interesting in... how little happens. &nbsp;Most of the episode consisted of conversation. &nbsp;I haven't actually listened to any of the Doctor Who radio shows, but this seems like something that could've been done in that format.
+Was it really necessary to have a Donna-lite episode? &nbsp;She's already had (and will have to) share the limelight with other companions, and who knows if she'll be around after this series as a regular any longer, so it seems a waste to not use her here. &nbsp;Speaking of the other companions, though, yet another tiny appearance by Rose failing to attract the attention of the Doctor through a monitor.
+Just a few days after watching this episode I read [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s [[A Fall of Moondust]]. &nbsp;They're really very different stories, but they remind me of each other in as far as they both primarily take place in tourist passenger vehicles that run into trouble and get stuck in a desolate area not of Earth.

+(First watched 2008-07-18) &nbsp;Cool. &nbsp;Last week I complained about the episode being Donna-less, but I guess this is the opposite: she's presented as the most important person in all creation. &nbsp;Quite possibly filming overlapped with the previous episode, with the leads working on different ones.
+So a weird time-altering bug makes a small change in Donna's history which causes her to not meet the Doctor, leading to his death and every weird happening past [[Doctor Who Series 3|their initial meeting]] going awfully due to it. &nbsp;Even Sara Jane was mentioned. &nbsp;I was half surprised Torchwood wasn't somehow brought in so they could destroy the entire Doctor Who franchise and all spinoffs for a brief bit. &nbsp;The... alternate Donna of this world is then helped by a somehow-universe-hopping Rose, who sends her back to put things right, even if alternate-Donna's death is the method. &nbsp;But it works. &nbsp;Then...
+HOLY SHIT BAD WOLF ALL OVER THE PLACE AAAAAAHHH!!!! REPLACING POLICE BOX AND EVERYTHING YEAARRGGHH!! &nbsp;&quot;It's the end of the universe!&quot; &nbsp;Well, that doesn't sound good, Doctor. &nbsp;But hey, didn't you visit the ''actual'' end of the universe at the end of last season, going a hundred trillion years into the future or whatever? &nbsp;Anyway, if Rose is to be believed it's the end of the ''multiverse''.
+EDIT: Reading elsewhere, oh hell, they DID kill off Torchwood. &nbsp;I must've missed when their names came up.
