Turn Left
"Please."
This is a tribute to Donna Noble and one of the best and most powerful episodes of Doctor Who - "Turn Left" (season 4 episode 11). In this episode an evil fortune teller places a Time Beetle on Donna's back, forcing her to turn right instead of left on what seemed to be just an ordinary day, but because of this she didn't got the job on which she would met the Doctor, so they never met, and so there was no one to stop the Doctor before it was too late, and so the Doctor died.
SPOILER ALERT!
With his death there was no one to save the universe from various threats, and the stars went out, and the catastrophes happened on Earth, the whole world was basically dying. This is the darkest and saddest episode on the whole series, it is really grim and heartbreaking, with things getting only worse, with familiar characters like the Torchwood team dying off-screen, with the return of the labor camps (yes, those from WWII), etc.
Rose Tyler (who were pulled here from the different universe, because the worlds started to collapse) and UNIT were trying to stop all this, and they figured out that they could reverse the events of the wrong (right turn) timeline, if they send Donna back in time to make her past version turn left. They succeeded, but future Donna landed over a mile away in three minutes before the moment her past version will make a decision about her future, which could save or destroy the universe. Donna run as fast as she can, but in one minute left she realised there is no way she can make it to the crossroad in time, despite already being close. Remembering that Rose said, that if she will come with her to UNIT, she must be sure, because she's gonna die, and remembering the lorry which drove in front of her car when she was waiting at the traffic light before making the decision, Donna stepped towards the lorry, sacrificing herself to start a traffic jam on the right turn, which forced her past version to turn left despite the influence of the Time Beetle, and so the original (left turn) timeline was restored, she got the job at H.C. Clements, she met the Doctor, she saved his life by convincing him to go, and he saved the world a countless times after it.
"I'm not sitting in a traffic jam. I'm going left!"
That's why Donna Noble is so important for the whole universe! But not just because of this - in her next adventures in 4th season finale and special episodes between 13th and 14th seasons she will save the universe again! ;)
"You were so strong! What ARE you? What will you BE? What will you BE?!"
I took this picture last year because I wanted to make a tribute to Donna Noble and honestly this episode is one of my favorites. I thought it's the definitive episode for the whole series, it captures the importance of the Doctor - without him the worlds are dying, and without him there's no hope at all. This is also a brilliant writing and acting, this episode alone deserves an award. So I think it's a great choice for a tribute! :)
But when I took the picture I decided I should wait until the return of Cathrine Tate (Donna Noble) and David Tennant (then Tenth and now Fourteenth Doctor) in the three special episodes dedicated to Doctor Who 60th anniversary, which was on this Thursday. So now it's a great time to post it! Congratulations to all Whovians around the world! :D
You can watch the ending of the episode here, but I would rather recommend you to watch the whole 4th season - it's worth it! This season was the first series of Doctor Who I ever watched, so it's fine to start from here! ;)
