doctor who 4x06 "the doctor's daughter"

[fox]

I just have this one thing to say, at the moment --

GO ON, BABY GIRL, I KNEW YOU COULD REGENERATE!  (Only how come the same face, eh?)

I did want her to be a proper daughter, though, and not a stem-cell hatchling from a vat.  I believe it was about this time last week that I said Ooh, who wants to bet she's Susan's mother?  (Not unlike a friend of abka's, evidently.  Only I'd have lost that bet.)  (I also suggested that Jack Harkness was her mother, because hey, the man has been pregnant.  IT'S CANON.  Alas.)

Note, though, the ham-fisted way in which Rusty and his minions alerted us to the fact that the Doctor had more children than just Susan's parent, in the past.  They, they, they, them.  I have to believe they wouldn't have whapped us over the head quite so hard with that point if it wasn't going to turn out to be relevant later on.

Okay, I guess that was actually a handful of things.

Why do you hate to be the one to tell me that? I don't mind at all -- but as long as it's just RTD saying it, it's not canon. (Once it does happen, of course, it's just as canon as the old canon was. Which is why we have retcon. Isn't this fun? [g])

So: The Doctor steps out of a loom fully formed, is shot with a de-age-ing ray thing so he can be 10 years old to look into the Time Vortex just after the Master, before running away in a stolen TARDIS - a name that his granddaughter will invent later, but presumably travel back in time to suggest to the inventor gardener who first grew one - and then everything's ok until he's about 900 at which point he has a mid life crisis and thus starts making up random numbers around the 900 mark thereafter when stating his age, which he can get away with as anybody who could disprove him doesn't exist and never did, despite the fact a vast number of Daleks seem to survive his total destruction of everything, and every other race in the Galaxy remains faintly aware of the Timelord mythos, NOT THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE OR ANYTHING.

Ahem.
