Mr Saxon was mentioned at the end - on the telly when Martha's getting ready for her brother's party, there's a med student from the hospital saying how his experience confirms Mr Saxon's theory about life beyond Earth. And there's a 'Vote Saxon' poster or two behind Martha when she's speaking to the Doctor outside the TARDIS at the end.
Yeah, that's the assumption, but it's the fact that he mentioned his family again. I think it's the planting of ideas in fans heads about who the brother could've been... And the forums on Outpost Gallifrey did go into meltdown :o) There is much speculation, and many think that a certain bearded someone is his brother. I maintain that they are cousins! But that kinda hinges on the Looms and other stuff from 'Lungbarrow'. Despite not seeing the books as canon, I've kinda accepted the whole 'artificial genetic recombination' thing as how new Gallifreyans are made, and I'm reluctant to give that up in favour of sexual reproduction and baby Time Lords.
The Doctor was in the hospital because he knew there was something going on and had to get inside to check it out, and as a patient he would have a valid reason to be there. And I think the Eastenders-ish bits were part Rusty being Rusty and part "look how fed up Martha is with her family, this is why she accepts the Doctor's offer to escape for a bit". And the kiss was to give Martha a bit of non-human DNA for the scanners to pick up, to delay the Judoon for a bit. And he didn't have the screwdriver at the time, so it was the quickest and easiest way.
There was much squeeing here too :o) Adam's such a fangirl *grins*
