My problem with the ending of the episode is not that I don't believe Donna will never grow without the Doctor; I just think this is one of those times when it shouldn't be left to the viewer to hope that the appropriate future happens for her. I wrote about this a little in my journal, but it would have been easy to hint at Donna's future in some way, only that wouldn't have been Tragic Enough or something. We've been seeing her realize her potential all season--why not leave her on an up note, showing us that she'll do it all over again? I do have to ask why that's left to us to do, and not something included in the episode itself.
