Maius Intra Qua Extra

Hey, you should see some of my thinking when I'm rewriting an episode. Especially for another Doctor. (IE, the Altered History series.)

And the Doctor only thinks about extraordinary events. But what about the cumulative effects of the little problems the mind-wipe will cause Donna? If the trigger is a major, life-threatening event that still leaves a lot of chances for her to know something's wrong. She might sense that the people around her know more than they're telling, and if she can confront them without triggering the mechanism what would that do to her mental well-being? What would the Doctor do if Wilfred brought that up? Do you think Wilfred would say that he would gladly die if that's what it took to free Donna to live to her potential? And would he call the Doctor out on choosing for his companions?

And what if UNIT objected to the Doctor's mechanism? I could see someone like Kate L-S (although perhaps not her, since I don't know enough to tell) insisting that he find another solution or remove Donna from Earth. I mean, what if aliens started coming Earth's way to try to use Donna for their own ends? The most important woman in the universe? Leaving her without a way to knowingly protect herself against such threats?

It's definitely an interesting thought experiment. I can only imagine what DT would think of.
