I think the glowy stuff that brought her back was supposed to be inhaled terraforming gasses. Does that mean she's going to turn into a tree woman and accidentally make eyes at her own 'father' without realizing it?
Now, see, that's the question, isn't it! I feel like it was maybe ambiguous on purpose. Or both! Who knows, maybe the sci-fi miracle-gro is made of TARDIS-heart stuffs.
Though the idea of tree!Jenny gives me the giggles.
I thought it was the same color as the terraforming 'cloud'. When the Doctor regenerated, it was more golden, more like he was being burned at a cellular level. Not to mention that in old Who, the regenerations were less flashy (*coughbudgetcough*)
rusty is always out of ideas xD He's reused the cat people loads of times and when in doubt... get the daleks or the cybermen out.
I was like OMGZ HE STOLEZ IT FROM JACK! Then i was thinking the same as you. I think the whole shes too much like me bit was like she was too kind for her own good, willing to put herself on the line for someone else.
Also the regeneration limits keep changing as anyone who watched the old who will know so they might decide to change it...AGAIN. And the two hearts thing right. The only reason the doctor has two hearts is because he got shot in an old who and they couldn't think of a way out, so they gave him another heart, problem solved, So technically Jenny should never have died in the first place if that makes any sense :]
Ooh, I never considered someone stealing the gun from Jack. Maybe one of the original settlers had it. You know, those ancestors that came last week. :P
I bow to your superior canon skills! What I've seen of old Who is spotty and out-of-order. Really should fix that.
the 1st Doctor had only one heart - he collapsed on the TARDIS floor, and when Ian and Barbara went to check on him, Ian said he could feel a heartbeat.
so maybe the second heart takes a regeneration or two to finish growing. :D
I didn't even think of that! Sort of a Jack reference too, if a bit more oblique since Donna doesn't know that bit of history. But yeah, I kinda went, "Ha! See how you like it!"
Did she actually mean it like that - unnatural as opposed to incorrect? I just took it to mean that she was saying he was wrong about the parental/familial side of him dying along with his family. I mean the whole "something I've never told you before" could just come from the fact that while she's called him out on some of his decisions and disagreed with him, from what I can remember, she's never actually flat out told him he was wrong about anything before.
No, I honestly don't think Donna meant it that way, and maybe there's really nothing to the fact that she phrased it like that. It still sort of made me go 'huh' though, just because it strikes that chord (for me at least) whether it's intentional or not.
(And sidenote, I totally thought she was about to confess to having a kid somewhere.)
Another parallel is the obvious one that is, well, the part where the Doctor leaves her for dead under somewhat ambiguous circumstances and she comes back to life.
Once I realized they were going there I had to be like, really? Again? At this rate the Doctor is going to have to sit with all the corpses he leaves behind for a few weeks just to make sure they're really and truly dead.
when he said she was too much like him I think he meant personality wise.
I didn't really see the jenny/jack comparison when watchign it but I was thinking that she would end up in Torchwood. My friend however, thinks that RTD is going to do another spin off. Don't really know if that would work tbh.

Besides the whole Jenny=Jack and the gun thing... Did you notice the Doctor being called "wrong"? I had my revenge there...

...and now I'm just picturing the Doctor sitting around poking corpses in the face and asking them if they're getting better.
