New proposal for a doctor who spin off show: Donna is now immortal and has her memories because uhh I said so. Jack runs into her. Niether of them have a way to contact the doctor, both of them have a knack for hijinks, the show is just the two of them fuckin around and having adventures. Send post.
While you could just leave it unstated why Donna is immortal and intact, may I present to you all a canon-compliant excuse:

I was thinking the other day that it’s funny, Matt Smith was a twenty-something, who in the role of the Doctor felt fucking ancient, but Peter Capaldi is fifty-something and feels in the role of the Doctor like a twenty-something undergrad whose skipped every single class of their anthropology course in favor of eating a month’s supply of ramen and playing “Blitzkrieg Bop” 17 times in a row.
Even though I love this idea of Gallifreyans as a species having prosopagnosia, I’m still not sure if it’s actually true, since the Doctor has the habit of commenting his face and it’s distinct features (the chin, the eyebrows, i.e.) relatively often. I don’t know much about prosopagnosia and therefore I’m not sure whether it’s possible for people having/suffering from it to make such remarks. Does anybody know something more about that?
We can totally do that! In fact, things like distinctive eyebrows or sticky-out ears (the focus of Nine’s comments) are a big part of how we tell people apart.
Oh so it means that these comments don’t get against that brilliant idea! Thanks for the information!

#I was just thinking about this bit recently! #I get that we’re supposed to think it’s hilariously wrong #but look at it this way: #she’s talking about things from *five billion* years ago #and she is *less than a century* off #I *dare* you to talk about stuff that happened during the formation of the fucking Earth to within a century’s accuracy #and they still have! recordings! of Tainted Love!! in five billion years!!! #honestly these guys’ historians are not 100% perfect but they’re doing extremely fucking well keep up the good work #(actually hang on) #(in the 2017 Christmas special) #(which is partly set not long after this) #(New Earth invents time travel and uses it to go around spacetime uploading everyone who has ever lived right before their deaths) #(year-5-billion historians are the *best* historians fight me) #((please do not actually fight me)) #tag rambles #Doctor Who #look I have feelings about year-5-billion historians okay #they are not the feelings the show was expecting me to have but I have them
I’m beginning to wonder if Team TARDIS’s complete lack of concern for air breathability is a deliberate running gag.
