Come with me...
23 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The Tenth Doctor tries taking Donna Noble to ancient Rome for her first trip in the TARDIS, but seems to have miscalculated. Instead of seven hills, they find a single mountain billowing smoke - Vesuvius. They're in Pompeii, 23 August 79 AD: the day before "Volcano Day". However, something else is horribly wrong. The Soothsayers' predictions seem to always be correct... so why can't they see tomorrow's disastrous events, the eruption of Vesuvius, the death of their city? What is blocking their perception, and will the TARDIS team be able to walk away from a fixed point in time, saving no one from certain doom? Well, Donna has something to say about that!

God, this episode was so fun to watch. It was nice to see Peter Capaldi and Karen Gillan, lol. Peter who would later be the Twelfth Doctor, my most favorite Doctor! Karen who would later be Amy Pond, a companion of the Eleventh Doctor.

This episode had a GREAT dark moment, where Donna was begging the Doctor to save someone's life, since 10th saved Caecilius' family, the Twelfth Doctor would later notice that his own face is a reminder that he is the Doctor and he saves people!

10/10, I bloody love it.
