Doctor Who: Trailer thoughts

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).

Me, too! I’m trying not to speculate about who she is or where she comes from. It’s almost beside the point, for me. I just love the fact that we’re getting an episode called “The Doctor’s Daughter.” I’ve wanted to meet the Doctor’s children—past, present, or future—ever since the first time I watched “The Empty Child.” Episode six might not do what it says on the tin, but I think it gets us one step closer.

I'm very, very curious about her origins. But I also really want to see how the Doctor interacts with her. I loved One with Susan -- they were adorable.

I’m very, very curious about her origins.

I think I’m afraid of getting my hopes up. And since what I want most from this season is answers, that’s what I’m most afraid to hope for. (Otherwise, I’d hope that Jenny is this season’s Satellite Five. But what are the odds of that?)

Answers would be nice. Or seeing her again. Which leads into hoping that she doesn't die in a horribly tragic way.
