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).

Totally! This is exactly the sort of story I've wanted to see for four years now, one that might finally give us some answers about the Doctor. And everybody's hating on it before they've even seen it. Unbelievable.

I'm really hoping that we'll get some backstory on the Doctor and learn some things about him that we didn't already know (extra points if this girl is Susan's mum or if she leads the Doctor to telling us the name of Susan's mum -- or his wife's name, for that matter).

Oooh, I'd love to know those facts! What with that and the Doctor's name burning at the Medusa Cascade I'm hoping that we'll know a little more about him by the end of the series. I'm wondering if there'll be a late twist along the lines of the Face of Boe's identity in the finale this year; perhaps Jenny's pregnant and the Doctor suggests that Susan's a nice name?

Oh, that would be really, really cool! I love that idea.
