*Spoilers*
As with Lost, I've been trying to formulate predictions about what will be occuring on Doctor Who this season. I've got the third episode downloading now, so I don't know if this trend will continue, but I've noticed something that has occured in both of the first two episodes: planets have been lost. In Partners in Crime, the matron mentioned that the Adipose nursery planet had been lost, to which the Doctor replied "Lost? What do you mean lost? How do you lose a planet?" And in Fires of Pompeii, the Pyroviles also lost their planet.
So, knowing that the classic, villainous race the Sontarans will be in this season, and that they think of themselves as conquerors (they once completely took over Gallifrey...but only for a single day, I believe, before the Time Lords took it back) I'm going to hazard a guess and say that this ties into the Sontarans some how. I don't know what their last appearance on Doctor Who was or what has happened to them in the subsequent time, but yeah, it only makes sense.
