[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 4215077, member: 4090"] This episode had some really great moments, and a lot of contrived conceits that made it tough for me to really appreciate it as much as I would have otherwise. For one thing, the whole "Jenny" conception was a bit much to swallow. Not only is the Doctor the only one processed (despite everyone saying at the beginning that everyone needs to be processed- yet Donna and Martha are spared), but the bit about the paradox of her creation at the end and it being the reason for their presence was hokey. I'm glad Jenny is still around (I kept wondering- how are they going to get rid of her. I figured there would be a time limit on the "clones", so was wrong) but her regeneration was- again- contrived. I really liked the bits of the Doctor bonding with her, a bit more about the horrors of the Time War, and some more on the Doctor's kids (though I kept wishing he'd have said the name Susan). If they could have found a way to make certain elements so shoehorned in the way they did, I really would have classified this as one of the better episodes. (Thread title indicates Spoilers, so I'm not going to use spoiler blocks. If anyone objects, I can edit.) I think everyone was a "clone," probably several times over. Your theory is interesting, and there definitely seems to be some kind of oddity regarding the ages, but I'm not certain. I think he was supposed to be just as much in the dark about things as everyone else, and that his sole motivation was the same thing that had been programmed into them- to fight. I'm not certain, though, now that you bring it up. [/QUOTE]
