[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 2908794, member: 4090"] Not a bad episode, although I felt as if it was having a hard time finding an appropriate ending. The initial climax was suitably poignant, IMO, but then there were two additional final moments, one of which (the Doctor carrying the Olympic torch) was actually rather nifty, but the other (with Chloe's "dad") was sort of odd and unnecessary. The dialogue seemed a bit too rushed in points, but I've felt that to be the case a lot this season- that plus Tennant's accent makes it a bit difficult to follow for me at times (although it may also just be crappy sound on my end). Of course, the most interesting bit was the "I was a father once" line of the Doctor's that throws Rose but doesn't get followed up on. It seemed as if they emphasized it a little too much to have it just be a throwaway, but I'm not sure if they'll have time to get back to it in the next two episodes. Of course, if supposition that the Face of Boe's last words to the Doctor will be "You are not alone," then it would certainly fit. As far as I am aware, this side of the Doctor's life has never been followed up on. I know that the first Doctor's first companion, Susan, was said to be his granddaughter, and everything I know of still holds that she is, in fact, his genetic grandchild, which obviously means the Doctor has had progeny of his own (at least one child). It never occurred to me before that Susan should have, theoretically, not been a part of the Time Wars that destroyed the Time Lords, since she had been left on Earth. At this point, the Doctor may have great-grandchildren on Earth, then. Interesting line, in any case. The preview for next week looked pretty intense. Given the recent news about Billie Piper, and the narrative over the trailer, it definitely looks as if these final two episodes will be her swan song, which is too bad. I really have enjoyed her as a companion, although- to be honest- it doesn't seem as if she has been all that big a role this season as she was last season. I hope they don't kill her off, though, as I would prefer her to possibly return at some point. Notable absence in the preview- Captain Jack Harkness. I was hoping to see him pop up there, especially as the preview was otherwise so bleak. Wonder if he'll show up in the last few seconds of next week's episode, as a lead in to the finale? [/QUOTE]
