Doctor Who: Foreshadowing the Crazy Ideas
One of the things that I like about RTD is that even his crackiest ideas don't come out of nowhere -- he always has something smaller and similar to foreshadow the upcoming crazy idea.
1. Rose pulling out Bad Wolf -- we have knowledge that the TARDIS 'gets inside your head' from "The End of the World" and know that Rose is related to the Bad Wolf issues because Gwyneth tells us in "The Unquiet Dead". We learn exactly how powerful and responsive that the TARDIS can be in "Boomtown" when it turns Blon into an egg.
2. The Doctor pulling a Tinkerbell -- most importantly, we have the 'power of words' from "The Shakespeare Code", but we also have the set-up of the Archangel network and how it works in "The Sound of the Drums". We know that powers of Time and Space lead to glowiness and awesome powers from "The Parting of the Ways".
3. Ms. Hartigan taking over the Cybermen -- Yvonne Hartman (ooo! check out the 'hart') was able to similarly resist the Cyberman conditioning in order to actively attack other Cybermen. It's interesting that both of the people strong enough to shake it off were women (oh, one of the many reasons that I *heart* RTD).
