for all I know, this is Donna's one chance to strut her non-Doctor stuff
And I think that's what's keeping me from watching the Donna Noble Show. Because I did watch the Martha Jones Show last season, and was really excited about her from the moment she stopped to read the manual, and couldn't wait to see how they were going to bring her medical/critical thinking skills into play--and then they kept it mostly to the fringes rather than incorporating it into the episodes. And that's a problem with the later writing and not with the initial conception of the character--which is why I'm still worried.
But! My *favorite* Donna moment so far (I have yet to see "Planet of the Ood") was the whole SuperTemp thing, for exactly those reasons you mention. She's not apologetic in the *slightest* for having been a temp, and she makes use of that knowledge really well. Yay Donna!
