Doctor Who: Trailer thoughts

[butterfly]

aka "The Doctor's Daughter"

So, OMG! The Doctor's daughter! From a general glance around my flist, it looks like a lot of people are dreading the upcoming episode but I'm really looking forward to it (I should possibly try to restrain my enthusiasm, as I was really looking forward to "The Girl in the Fireplace", too, and we all know how I felt about it after watching it).

My question regarding the TARDIS is this -- were they summoned by where they're going or were they sent by some other force (*cough* Bad Wolf *cough*)?

Now it looked to me as if the Doctor recognized his 'daughter' all on his own. Her "hello, dad" came across as a true greeting, not a 'surprise!' moment. And the way he says, "She's my daughter," has an incredible weight to it. I have to admit to being terribly curious as to whys and the hows of her existence (as both Donna and Martha appear to be).

*cough* Bad Wolf *cough*

Yeah, pretty much my thoughts. And if Doctor's daughter has Bad Wolf power, must be Rose's kid too, right? As long as I hold onto that idea, I don't have a whole lot more to comment on on this idea.

I'm not sure whether or not I'm willing to think that it's Rose's kid (unless it's a kid from post-reunion!) because I just hate the idea of her lying to him on the beach. It would make me sad. But random unexpected Rose (or Rose references) always make me happy.

I think a post-reunion kid is an outside possibility. I don't think it's the famous baby from Bad Wolf Bay. I do like the idea of their child having something of the wolf about her, a bit of an inheritance from the TARDIS.

That would be pretty neat!

I'm mostly just looking forward to seeing how the Doctor interacts with her -- I loved him with Susan, but parents and children tend to have more volatile relationships than grandparents and grandchildren (if she is, indeed, a 'real' daughter of his).
