    in a word WOW, awesome episode... Though I am disappointed that Jenny wasn't his daughter from long ago, but this works out just as well if not better (no need to explain how she survived or reuse the FoB watch from last year).

    The Haff were interesting and utterly alien which is a nice change from most sci-fi out there

    And the ending well I was waiting for her to regenerate but her returning to life from the terraforming gas was unexpected. I wonder does Jenny possess a full regeneration cycle or does she not have one because she didn't go to the Academy?

    And was that final scene setting up a spin off or what?

      I very nearly didn't bother watching this episode but boy oh boy am I glad I did as it's one of the best so far. the thing that stands out most for me is the calibre of acting from David Tennant and Freema Agyeman they were absolutly wonderful, Martha's reaction to the Hath sacrificing himself for her was something else and the Doctor's reaction to Jenny's death was heartbreaking, I admit I was yelling "Regenerate, regenerate" at the TV, I have to admit I was slightly put off by the fact that Gerogia Moffatt is the spit of Baby Spice, I kept expecting her to launch into Wannabe. She was pretty unspectacular as Jenny and Jenny herself was nothing special but the story was better than it has been for a few weeks.

      I didn't spot any Cascade/bees/Rose connections, but was this an attempt to bring destroyed planets back to life?

        I thought it was a great episode, but a bit choppy at places. Especially the end when Jenny came back to life. Though when she died and the Doctor's reaction? I had to turn away to keep from crying.

        I also utterly fell in love with the Haff (sp?). They were adorable! So alien, but still real, kinda like the Ood.

          I just have to say, Yes she's alive! This is now probably one of my favourite episodes. Admitably it was weak at the begining though. I thought that the way she was 'created' was rushed. But overall, I liked her. Loved Tennant's acting in this ep. He was fantastic!

            This was an amazing episode. I wasn't expecting it to be but it was just utterly amazing! Jenny was great. Her and the Doctor played off eachother beautifully. She even had his mannerisms down. I can't wait to see her again. esspecially to see the Doctors reaction. I was really wanting her to regenerate in his arms when she died. It was incredibly emotional. I also loved the scene where the doctor put the gun to that guys head. You could really feel what he was feeling in that scene. A part pf him wanted to pull that trigger. I think that could be an insight as to how the doctor was in the Timewar perhaps.
            Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

              Well from the commentary, it seems RTD and the writers were going to leave Jenny dead, but Steven Moffat made them resurrect her

              Once again thank heavens Steven Moffat is involved in Who

                I love this episode. Obviously we are going to see the doctor daughter again in the future ep, either in a spin off of from doctor who or , perhaps they will kill off the doctor and she will be his replacement.

                But apart from the daughter moment and twist with the war only actually be 7 days old The daughter going through the lasers was cool.

                The ending was good through I so knew was going to be regenerated. who do not bring the doctor daughter back and kill her in the same ep.

                Aliens were weird and I like the way they did not speak and ounce of English for once.

                And the assistance figuring out something that was key to the mystery makes a change. He was so ignoring those number like they were nothing to do with the story.

                overall 9 out of 10 for the ultra cool doctor daughter.

                    Well, that was... pointless.

                    The seven day, multi-generational war was pretty good - if predictable - but what the hell was all the actual Doctor's Daughter stuff about? I mean, apart from stretching the range for our principals, it was just so rushed that there was no substance. I reject you, I can't bear to accept you, I think you're brilliant, I've lost you. So it goes.

                    If he'd at least asked them to base their society on her rather than himself - not on a man who never would, but on a girl who chose not to - there might have been some purpose; some unique structure to the episode and a reason for the character to actually exist. As it was, her sum total achievement was to snog a guard and stop a bullet, which again would have had just that smidgen more impact if she'd actually died, but no, she's cute and cool so she has to survive.

                    Overall not a terrible episode, but I resent every backflip that took time out of Henry the Happy Hath's death scene, which effected me far more than Jenny's, even before she came back to life.

                      That episode was much more like it. And yet despite all the things I loved about this episode it still feels slightly off like all the series four ones have. I'm not the only one with this feeling am I?

                      Surely if they go through twenty generations a day Jenny is not going to live that long?

                      When it was revealed how long the war had been going and why it happened, I looked at the fact that the general was the only old one along with his insistence on winning and instantly thought that he was actually one of the people who'd stepped up to fill the power vacuum at the start of the war. This was never actually denied so I shall continue to think this.

                      If that's not an official name then I move we make it one, in the same way that all the Wraiths have fan names.

                      Talking of the Hath, why could Martha not understand them? The TARDIS should be translating.

                      And there goes my ingenious theory that she'd be returning in the finale.

                        I don't think they were big on natural causes, except in as much as it's natural to die when you've been shot a whole bunch.

                        I think they were just... muffled.

                          Also if she's not dead then surely the Doctor can sense that there is now another Time Lord roaming the galaxy?

                            She could simply be Gallifreyan.

                              1. OK, the daughter part got explained pretty quickly, not what I expected but works well enough.

                              2. That many people killed in seven days?

                              3. Martha didn't do badly out of this, didn't expect the Haff to get scratched!

                              4. Jenny...was OK, gave the Doctor an interesting mirror to look into. Her problem is that the spaceship she's got isn't a TARDIS. Even if the Doctor can detect her, at most we won't see her till he swings by that time period again. Not worth doing a spinoff but we certainly haven't heard the last of her!

                              Nice stuff!
