Doctor Who 4x06: "The Doctor's Daughter"

I really loved this episode. Really. I thought I was going to hate it passionately. But I did not. I loved it passionately. Even if it was the corniest, most cliche episode Doctor Who has ever had.

First of all, I really liked Martha this episode. She was acting a lot more independent and intelligent, even. It was a nice change. It was sort of lame that they had her separated from the Doctor and Donna the whole time though - what's the point of a guest star if she only ever talks to a burbling fish person? By the way, why didn't the TARDIS translate the fish noises?

I think this is probably the DW episode that made me laugh the hardest. I was starting to miss jokes because I hadn't recovered from the last one. Here are just a few of the things I found hilarious:
-The Hath (a.k.a. burbling fish people) petting Martha, and the look on her face.
-The fact that in the preview, the clip they showed of Donna going "I'd like to see you try that" was placed right before the clip of Jenny doing all those neat looking gymnastics through the lasers, but that really happened after Jenny makes out with the guard on their cell to get them out.
-The Doctor to Donna: "Let's save your wiles for later. In case of an emergency."
-A freakin' wind up mouse.
-The look on the Doctor's face when he goes "Now... what were you saying about running?" right before he takes off.
-Martha's crying scene (okay, I take it back - I wanted to laugh, but then I just felt uncomfortable).

All right, I might be stupid because I didn't think this was coming, but Jenny regenerated... kind of. She more just came back to life, but I have no idea if that was her Time Lordiness or the terraforming thing being magical. I don't really care though, because I completely adored her. She was just the cutest thing. And I felt terrible for the Doctor when she took the bullet for him because COME ON, hasn't the man lost enough? I know he had only known her for one episode but still. He was willing to try being her dad, and then she just died. Fortunately, the ending leaves lots of room for her to come back.

The preview for next week is the episode with Agatha Christie and the giant alien wasp. I'm preparing myself for the nightmares to come.
