REASONS WHY I ADORE DONNA NOBLE #13,874:

Now, let me just say right off the bat that there’s absolutely nothing wrong at all with Rose and Martha’s reactions when they receive a key to Sexy the TARDIS. Were I ever to be in their shoes (oh god yes PLEASE), I would probably be a whole lot less cool and graceful about it as I’d be messily puking rainbows all over the Doctor’s face instead. Actually, I love the moments when Rose and Martha get their keys, as they’re both mined for such powerful emotion - for Rose, it represents the Doctor’s willingness to commit to travelling with her by his side; and for Martha, it serves as recognition of how much she deserves her place in the TARDIS. For both of them, it’s a romantic, thrilling, huge moment. In a way, it was about the Doctor choosing to come down to earth, to their level, by giving them a promise of so much more to come in the form of a single silver key. The key is the Doctor’s stamp of approval - welcome aboard, I only take the best and you’re it.

With Donna - fiery, sassy, no-nonsense Donna - this exact same moment is played for laughs, in a neat inversion of what happened with her two predecessors. Here, it’s the Doctor who’s coming close to flitting away on a flight of fancy and emotion. It’s “quite a big moment”, he declares cheerfully, and it’s adorable how giddy he is - he’s not bestowing his approval upon Donna; oh no, the Doctor is the little boy who’s eagerly seeking the approval of his new best mate. Of course, it’s hilarious when Donna slaps him down quite as sarcastically and pragmatically as she does. But that doesn’t make the scene any less emotionally truthful; in fact, I think it says really quite a lot about Donna’s relationship with the Doctor. The Doctor grounded himself when he gave Rose and Martha their keys… but when he tries to give Donna hers, it’s Donna who grounds him, balancing out his excesses and extremes as she does throughout her time in the TARDIS. In The Fires Of Pompeii, she reminded him of the tiny details - the individual lives and people who would be lost even as he saves others. Here, in The Poison Sky, she reminds him of the big picture and the immediate danger at hand… there will be time for sentiment later, she says, after we save the world. (Which they do, quite promptly, and also rather frequently thereafter.)
