Okay, so I'm hopping into this via friendsfriends, so first of all, HI I'M A RANDOM.
I have to wonder if the bees-are-disappearing thing ISN'T as unrelated as it seems. I mean, it gets mentioned in TWO episodes ("Planet of the Ood," I think it was?), so... maybe planets don't just pop out of existence, they slowly fade (and the bees are the first casualty)? Or a side effect of whatever shenanigans are going on with Rose and the time-space continuum?
I love the idea that the "thing" on Donna's back is Rose piggybacking her way to the Doctor via Donna as she slips back and forth through time. Like, when Lost does its time travel thing, it's all about characters having a constant in two different timelines so they stay "anchored" (and therefore prevent their brains from FREAKING OUT and exploding [literally], because their time travel is one's consciousness moving rather than anything physical)... so maybe it's a bit like that? Rose is going back over Donna's timeline to make it Definite And Real?
