Okay, I was loving the angst and emotion and all, right up until she didn't regenerate at the end. Um, hello? Not how it works? Then someone on LJ pointed out Romana can choose which body to have, so maybe Jenny just liked the one she started with. Which works. So now I'm going to go back to liking all the angst and DT getting to do acting a whole lot. That was good stuff. On the emotional level. ... on the plot level it was basically they walked along a corridor and then opened a door and then ran along a corridor and opened a trap and then did acrobatics along a corridor and then opened another door and then did Saving the World by Breaking Stuff. and then they went home. not, you know, twisty or complex. PS, am not kidding about the acrobatics. beccaelizabeth.livejournal.com/1445362.html |

I haven't seen the episode yet, but I thought folks would get a kick out of knowing this little tidbit: Georgia Moffet, who portayed Jenny, is in real-life the child of actors Sandra Dickinson and Peter Davison. Peter Davison, of course, played the Fifth Doctor. Which means the Doctor's daughter was played by... the Doctor's daughter.  |

Clean hands. Huh?
So this like a clone, not so much the Doctor's actual daughter.
Jenny.
Neverending warfare.
children of the machine.
It's all they know: how to fight and how to die.
creation myth. breath of god.
This is sounding like a star trek episode.
The Doctor as a soldier?
Every soldier tries to stop the fighting.
Hmm.
Jenny is an echo.
a Time Lord is so much more.
Condescending much?
About the Time War.
The Doctor as an anomaly.
There's a lot of running involved.
Hee!
Jenny and the Doctor are invading each others personal space a little too much.
About Donna and the Doctor not being involved.
They're not going to get together are they?
About the Doctor's family.
The Doctor talks all the time, but he doesn't say anything. Mmm-hmm.
Jenny is incredibly perky.
All about numbers.
The new Byzantine Calendar.
The war only started 7 days ago.
Multiple generations, that span a miniscule amount of time.
Terraforming.
Peace is declared.
New world begins.
Yet another death for the Doctor.
She was too much like me.
Jenny was the reason for the TARDIS bringing them there.
Interesting.
Martha goes back to her life on Earth, Donna keeps traveling with the Doctor.
So Jenny did regenerate, but in the same body?
And she wants her own spinnoff.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.

This episode hasn't aired here yet. Dr Who wasn't run last week, so I guess they're playing catchup.,

No weapons, never any weapons! (Nice summary line for the Doctor, isn't it? Well, in a way . . . ) Woot! And there's the daughter from the ep title. Pretty straightforward, that. Eepy creepy guys! And they grabbed Martha! Ooooh, you tell her, Donna. |

And how do they get the cloned kid to be all fighty right off the bat? Awww. I love how Martha goes right to helping the wounded. "Is that a shoulder? It feels like a shoulder." You go, Martha!! Are they just constantly cloning more fighters? Don't the copies start to get a bit . . . thin, after a while? Don't "infect" them with peacemaking.  The Hath are cloning more fighty guys too. Heee! Love how they pet Martha. ;D Ah! The replicating machines make program them to be all fighty. So, the war might stop if they'd stop making more programmed fighty people? Or change the programming. They're looking for "the source", which is, like the start of all life? Aaaaand they want to use it to wipe out all the Hath. Which, is, like not very "sourcey" sounding, to me. Looks like maybe the Hath have the same idea, though, from how they're reacting to the map.  |

Methinks they need to decipher the history of this place. Like, as Donna mentioned, the numbers and so on. Heh! I like the way his daughter is turning logic back on him. Heee! Awwwwww. Doctor being all blustery and "she came out of that machine" and "she's a soldier" and Donna trying to make him see her. Except he's all angsty and "the war and they're all gone" and. Awwww. Heh!! I love Martha. "3-D! Oh, you're a clever Hath!" And then taking her little Hath friend along.  **snerk** Clever Jenny flirted that guard right into her trap sooooo easy. Then again, he didn't seem that bright, did he? |
