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).

Hallo. Here via the_spdn. May I friend you? You always have very cool Who posts. :)

I'm pretty much thinking that this will be the best episode ever, or the worst episode ever. Very little room for in-between with this one.

I also have a theory that the daughter-ness of this chick has something to do with genetic engineering of some kind -- mostly because while the TARDIS was going all wonky at the end of the last episode, the camera flashed onto the Doctor's severed hand. And it occurred to me, we don't actually know what happened to the hand in between its fall to earth and Jack finding it. Mmmm thinky thoughts.

Hello! It's nice to meet you. I'm always flattered to be friended!

I'm definitely hoping that it will be important. I'd hate for them to do an episode called "The Doctor's Daughter" and then not have lasting effects from whatever happens.

True. We haven't a clue how Jack got his hands on it (and how he was so certain that it was the Doctor's hand).
