nother way to look at Solana's actions, as a friend of mine pointed out: people were dying, and she could either side with some random unarmed nutter, or with the people who had the guns. I can't help but see the logic in that.
Well, that's true. And she had no way to really know what was happening - all she knew about the Doctor and Donna was that they were fakes, and the Ood seemed to be rabid and insane.
So one can't fault her logic, though the fact is she made the morally wrong choice - something that we, knowing the facts, can't help being over-aware of. Pragmatic, yes. Sensible, even.
But - and I'm not sure whether I'd talking aesthetics or chemistry here - how could anyone with a heart resist the appeal of the Doctor's sincerest gaze as he asks her for help?
I think that was because he totally won that round but she couldn't let him have the last word. *g*

Ah, yes - that is so in character for Donna!
