Oops, got the numbers round the wrong way. Unless this really is season 6. :blush:

Oh dear, I really expected to love this episode ; the trailer looked great. Unfortunately, it turned out that most of the good bits were in the trailer. :(

I spent the first 10 minutes thinking What ? :shrug: What ? :shrug: in the manner of a Doctor Who Xmas special. :lol:

It took me that long to realise that Jenny had been cloned from the Doctor in that golf ball washing machine ; I thought it was just that she`d come through that door, and the Doctor`s DNA had somehow opened it. :blink:

`Twas all rather confusing. :lol:

There was stuff that I liked - Jenny doing the acrobatic thing - but it`d already been seen in the trailer. The contrast between Martha going blub and Jenny being perkiness personified made it a bit of an odd episode for me. And when Donna solved the big mystery of the numbers, I was expecting something a bit more shocking. :rolleyes:

And that big, long drawn out bit at the end with Jenny dead on the catalfaque and the camera moving backwards ? I felt I was expected to go waaaahhh ! but I just wasn`t, ahem, bovvered. :ph43r:

Nice that Jenny came back to life, I suppose, but why didn`t she regenerate ? :blink:

I quite liked it, I got where Jenny had appeared from right away though :shrug:.

This is the first episode that I have liked Donna all the way through, I don't think I thought "shut up" once :lol:. I think they needed a companion who was a bit more mature than Rose and Martha to get the Doctor to accept Jenny as his daughter. I thought David Tennant was again brilliant as the Doctor gradually accepting and then losing his daughter. The scene where he puts a gun to Cobb's head was quite shocking, especially after all his anti-gun rants from the last couple of weeks. And I like that they've touched on the fact that the Doctor was a soldier, and that he had a family that was lost in the Time War.

Martha's story with the Hath was quite sweet. That she bonded with the Hath that she helped, despite the fact that she was abducted, and that he gave up his life to save her, was very sweet.

I assumed that Jenny didn't fully regenerate either because she isn't a full Time Lady or that it was within the first 15 hours of the regeneration cycle and she could heal like the Doctor and his hand in the Christmas Invasion.

The numbers mystery was so annoying, did they have to keep going back to it :rolleyes:

As a short story I'm sure it would be quite good but it didn't work as tv. Lots of overacting and poor use of Nigel Terry :snooty: (although he was quite funny unintentionally)

just wonder, the war started 7 days ago but how long general Cobb has been in charge of the army, i am sure he knew about the terrarforming energy, he just wanted the end of the Hath :ermm:

not a bad episode but i was expecting a bit more with the numbers, not sure about keeping Martha for that episode, Donna was for once important as she helped the doctor accepting jenny (some good laughs too)

and we learn a bit more about the doctor and his family, :thumbsup: discussion about being in a war and what it feel to kill someone

:thumbsup: @ jenny acrobatic to go through the lights

:ponder: jenny not regenerating (sp?), even if she is not travelling through time, i hope we are going to see her again

Have to say, I loved this one.

Georgia Moffett was extremely likeable without becoming irritating.

I thougt it was fairly predictable that Jenny would (seemingly) die, but equally, when it cut back to Messaline, it came as no surprise that she came back to life. Judging by Tennant's comments on Confidential I don't think we've seen the last of Jenny :thumbsup:

Pretty decent episode.

Liked Donna teasing the Doctor about fatherhood but also liked the Doctor talking about his family - agree DT was really good. Jenny looks like a good if contrived addition to the universe. Pretty cute as well. :)

I quite liked the twist that the war had only been going on for 7 days but not the Doctor getting a bit too self important at the end.

donna (and then jenny) enjoying (a bit too much) the running (and exploring and travelling) :lol: :rolleyes:

trailer for next episode :thumbsup:

:ponder: Thanks Laura. :)

I thought her coming back from the dead was a side effect of dying while the terraforming process was starting up, maybe helped by the fact of her physiology being based on The Doctor's :shrug:

it wasn't really explained why the tardis (and why the hand seemed agitated) travelled to messaline without warning (apart to create a paradox :lol: :rolleyes: )

The TARDIS often takes them somewhere that doesn't end up being where they expected so that didn't really bother me :lol:, I did want them to check that they didn't have someone hanging onto the TARDIS again though.
