Dr. Who 4.6, "The Doctor's Daughter"

Yay Georgia Moffett! I was especially excited to see her in this episode, because the first time I went to a convention with a Dr. Who guest, it was Peter Davison.

The whole seven days thing was cool, but was the lifespan of the generated people sped up?

I thought the seven days things was a biblical referrence which related to the creation story the humans told about "she" breathing life (or something to that effect.

But I wondered about the lifespan too--I ended up concluding they all died in battle. (And the leader was an anomoly.) But then, I wondered how they evolved to reach that point? Does the machine imprnt them?

I enjoyed seeing the cold side of the Doctor, since we usually see him all fluff and love with his companions. (Yeah I know he was all Mr. Time Lord of Doom in the second episode, but this was directed at someone we felt he should have had affection for.) It reinforced to me, oh yeah, not just a gleeful silly guy...he's got some serious damage.
