Donna is my favourite of the new assistants so far .. I really wish she had stuck around longer. I liked her no nonsense approach to her relationship with the Doctor and the fact that she was not all big eyed and 'drippy' around him. She would boss him around and criticise him, which is more than some of the others did. I liked her grandfather too - apparently he was drafted in as the guy who had played her father in the Runaway Bride had died.

Donna annoyed me. She reminded me too much of my former boss in the bar. In her late 30s or even mid 40's, but being often as unreasonable and unsensibly emotional and hysterical as a teenage girl or a woman in her early 20s. She didn't seem very mature to me.

I liked Donna. And I really liked that she wasn't gaga over The Doctor.

No, she was gaga about pretty much anything else.

Sounds more like a problem with your old boss than Donna!  |

Hehe Kaylee .. when you get to that age you will realise that unfortunately being 'grown up' and 'mature' doesn't seem to happen when you think that it will. And Donna had suffered a fair deal in her real life... losing her fiance and then her father. I was glad to see that he ended up with a good life, even though it did not include the Doctor.

I don't plan on ever being "grown up" or "mature"  |

I don't see myself as mature either, but I don't like this (I don't want any responsibility and I'm going to stay a teenage girl-forver attitude.
Hard to describe it, maybe Donna is just too loud for me. Loud, dominant women intimidate me.

I don't think Donna is actually immature, just abrasive. If you put her and Jackie together, they'd either get on very well, or cause a disaster! |

I think that Donna is more likeable than Jackie, who often seems to be rude just for the hell of it. I thought it was interesting when the Doctor pyschoanalzed DOnna and deduced that she was 'shouting at the world, because you dont think you're good enough.' Maybe a lot of big gobbed aggressive people are secretly just insecure. WHich doesn't make them any easier to be around

I just rewatched "Pompeii". I really liked Donna in that. She was very strong and sensitive and she wasn't going to take any put downs from the Doctor. He learned something from her in that episode.

We watched that yesterday too! It's an episode that grew on me - I remember when I first watched it I was not all that taken but I later learned to appreciate it and it became one of my favourites of that series. Yeah, doesn't she even tell him at one point that she does not know 'what sort of kids' he was flying around with before but she is gonna have her say and not just do what he wants? I loved too that both of them were prepared to sacrifice their lives to stop the Pyrovilians, even tho it did not come to that in the end

I've been plowing through the episodes with Donna, and the more I see of her the more I like her. She seems a lot more rounded than the other assistants, who sometimes seem like pretty (though plucky) eye candy. Donna is a lot more than plucky. She's quite witty and doesn't take the Doctor too seriously. I like that about her.

I hope I'm not insulting anyone by stating that I don't like her. I'm certainly not against middle-aged women (is Donna middle-aged? Can't remember her age) who don't act mature and I'm not against women who are not pretty, it's just that somehow, Donna seems to combine things I hate about certain women and she reminds me of women I don't like - like my former boss or a relative from my mother's family who is often not just loud and dominant, but also inconsiderate and rude.

You're certainly not insulting me! We all have our different ways of seeing things. Personally I don't find Donna rude and immature --or I probably wouldn't like her. She is loud though, which luckily doesn't bother me. |
