I will say though if there are any scenes that have as much impact on me as the rose ten farewell then one is indeed the donna memory wipe scene, that and the rose scene are still the two most beautifully done scenes in the show. The other being the whole doctor rant in the end of time when he realises he has to sacrifice himself for wilf. That one was amazing because it was just raw emotion of a different kind.
Still feel that the rose farewell one is my favourite though.”

Well, she wasn't told...
But seriously - she remembered fragments, and then her defense kicked in, which stopped her from remembering. So it changed nothing of the actual outcome - just a safety mechanism we hadn't been told before..I didn't rate the Wilf/self-sacrifice scene. It was overblown for my tastes. I found Tennant did that sometimes. Like Smith over-hammed the alien-ness (added for balance).
