Doctor Who, The Doctor's Daughter Spoilers


I watched Doctor Who very late last night (or early this morning take your pick of what it really is) and….well…I didn’t hate it.

 

I got home from a family party  very late last night, very sober I might add, and decided at 200 am to watch The Doctor’s Daughter. 

 

Okay first thought and no one hate me for thinking this.  The actress playing Jenny is VERY pretty, please god don’t let David Tennant fall in love with her because if I read in six months that he’s dating this girl I’ll just have to die a little bit inside.  I only say this because this has happened on another TV show and I can’t remember the name of it now, but this girl played the daughter in the future and the actor ended up marrying her.  And everyone’s heard of that thing with the Sound of Music right?  *shivers*

 

Really the opening was just a tad too cheesy for me.  Seemed too easy.  They shove the Doctor’s hand into this thing and out pops this very lovely, fully grown, fully clothed (with full makeup and hair job) girl.  I have to admit the look on Ten’s face was priceless when she says “Hello Dad.”

 

Running, blow shit up, yelling, a little more running.

 

I have no idea what the hell is going on, but I’m totally sucked in.  For once I loved Martha.  I don’t know what changed, but I loved her in this.  I felt bad for her climbing to the surface and it just looked damn cold, but hey she’s walked the Earth, she’s used to crappy weather.  Loved it when the Hath surrounded her and began petting her!  Priceless look!

 

Personal observation, I don’t think Freema can cry act well.  I just didn’t believe it when that Hath jumped into the quick sand to save her and he died, her crying didn’t do anything for me. 

 

Donna.  Oh Donna I love you.  She is just the most wonderful person ever!  I love her defending Martha as just collateral damage in the beginning.  I love how she totally and completely embraced Jenny.  I love how she named her, talked to her, and praised her for making Ten speechless.  Donna was ready to pick her up and take her home right then and there.

 

The best part and a shock to me that I cried in the episode.  When Donna was listening to Jenny’s heart and then discovered the second heart.  I freaking lost it when she made Ten listen and his look of horrified disbelief as he backed away from her.  If it were possible, I would give Tennant an OSCAR just for that scene in the cell.  I love how he talked to Jenny, it seriously killed me.

 

I think someone should get Ten his own mobile phone so he doesn’t have to keep upgrading everyone else’s.  Maybe an AT&T wireless? 

 

I still have no idea what’s going on, but I’m still glued to the screen.

 

Another surprising tear worthy moment.  Donna and Ten talking about his “Dad shock” and his confession that he’d been a father once.  *hands Tennant another award* Seriously dude stop talking softly with emotion, it’s giving me puffy eyes.  And damn now Jenny is killing me, “Love the running!” 

 

Okay we’ve found out a date system.  Go Donna.  I haven’t a clue what they’re talking

about, what do we do in America that they don’t do in the UK?  Who cares, I’m buying it.  And now the energy source is a big ball of stuff.  Which the Doctor promptly smashes to the ground.

 

Ten and Jenny, “Wow pretty colors!”

 

And then that rat bastard kills her.  This feels a bit déjà vu to me.  Did we not see this last year with the Master?  Though unlike that time, he can’t beg her to regenerate because she can’t or doesn’t know how.  I’m a bit lost here.  Ten looks up at Martha and says they should wait a little bit, “she has two hearts,” he’s hoping/thinking she’s going to change.  Martha is shaking her head and saying “No, there’s no sign.”  How in the world would she know?  She’s never seen a Time Lord change, how would she know?  Unless they have information about Time Lord stuff at UNIT.

 

I did cry a bit.  “We can go anywhere, everywhere.”  I lost it when she smiled up at him before she “died.”

 

I was totally convinced that Ten was going to shoot the general guy!  I really thought he was going to do it.  Then I thought he wouldn’t do such a thing with Martha and Donna watching him.  No…maybe he’ll do it.  I wonder if he was tempted just a little bit?

 

I was expecting it, but then I wasn’t.  Jenny waking up!  Hey look Time Lord stuff coming out of her mouth!  And off she goes into the stars!  Go Jenny!

 

Something I wonder about.  If Jenny had regenerated or come back to life while he was still there, would Ten have been tempted to stick his hand in that machine again and make a few more Time babies?  Try to populate the race again?

 

I’ll probably need another viewing of this as it was very late, but considering that I have no idea what the hell was going on, I really loved this episode.  The Hath seemed a bit cheesy to me. 

 

I did watch DWC and DT made a pondering on Jenny coming back again.  I’m sort of hoping she does come back.  I’d like to see him be a father to this little creation.

 

Donna wins in every category out there.  I love her chat with Martha at the end.  I get the feeling that Donna is just going to keep traveling until she drops.  I really think she’s going to stay with Ten until she dies. 

 

Martha, glad to see you noticed the Doctor not seeming to give a shit last year.  He’s got something to live for now, or at least he did until that bastard shot her.

 

Ten.  Just exactly what do you carry around in your pockets?!  I bet he’s an awesome date, because he has everything you could possible need in his extra expandable pockets.  Why does he have toys with him?  First we see him pull a water gun out of his pants, squeaky mouse this time.  Stethoscope, toothbrush, sonic screwdriver, glasses…big pockets.
