1. I knew it. Made from his DNA. And I LIKE her. A lot. Yay Jenny!

2. We see exactly why Martha doesn't travel with the Doctor anymore, and as that Hath died you know she was flashing back to all those times during the Year That Never Was where similar things happened. Poor Martha... she always gets kind of screwed over doesn't she? Still, love her, love her to iddy biddy bits.

3. The Doctor's reactions. Every little moment just felt so genuine and real; the writer and DT really nailed it there.

4. The entire "I never will" scene.

5. The way the whole episode fit together, from the legends to the seven days.

So, overall, probably the best-constructed after "Partners in Crime". That, and I adored it. And Jenny was so cute!

And on another note, my computer decided it didn't have a hard drive for a few hours today. Luckily, it's been fixed, though its core speed makes no sense. Yay new compy soon...?

And now I be off. Really want to rewatch this ep and not do work...

Ta mates!

EDIT: Okay, how the hell was grieving over Jenny really all about grieving for the Master? 'Cos, see, I've read this twice now and just... what?

Gallifrey, yes, his family, yes, and partially the ex-friend he lost a few months ago, yes to that as well. But primarily about the Master?

I don't get it.

Well, the Master was a Time Lord. He shared the burden the Doctor talked about in this episode. I guess, the Doctor thought that, sort of, he could understand him. Then, the Doctor is lonely... having another Time Lord, even evil, was better than nothing.
Jenny, well, she's his daughter. But I think this was too new for him. If she had travelled with him and then died, he would have known her better, and that would have been the end for him.
It looks like the one he can't forget, even if she's human, that's Rose...
Let's hope RTD will allow them to be happy (and have lots of Time!babies)

Well I agree with all of that, but I still don't understand how mourning for Jenny=mourning for the Master. It just feels like such a Master/Doctor stretch... A really awkward one too.

And RTD better let Rose and the Doctor be happy, or there will be much anger! I don't want to figure out how to build a time machine just to go back in time and make RTD rewrite those episodes; the paradoxes would get icky. :P

And btw, your icon=complete and utter WIN.
