Line 7: In which an important and fascinating new character shows up... but not for long. Martha is saying goodbye, but the Doctor's hand-in-a-jar violently teleports the TARDIS to an alien planet. (In case you're wondering why he keeps that thing next to the control panel, there's a [[Doctor Who~~/NS~~/Recap/S4 S30/E13 Journeys End\|very good reason for it]].) Since the "Doctor Detector" only does that sort of stuff in rare situations, it could only mean two things: either the Doctor himself is on that planet, or something ''exactly'' like him. The planet, called Messaline, is inhabited by two different species: Humans and Hath (walking fish). Only five seconds after stepping off the TARDIS, the Doctor and his companions are held at gun point by human soldiers, and the Doctor is ordered to put his hand into a strange machine. There is some whinging, and then out of the machine steps a very pretty blonde ~~girl -- fully~~girl—fully dressed and made-up, able to wield a gun, and snarky to boot. The machine is a cloning machine, made for creating soldiers for either side of the planet's inhabitants. The hand-in-a-jar made the TARDIS arrive a bit too soon, which [[Stable Time Loop\|caused the Doctor's DNA clone to be on the planet in the first place]]. The Doctor realizes that this is, for all intents and purposes, his daughter now. He's extremely freaked out by this and tries his best to see her as a ''thing'': a clone, a temporary echo, a "genetic anomaly". [[What the Hell, Hero?]] Donna calls him out on his [[Jerkass]] behavious and shortens "genetic anomaly" to "Jenny", which the girl likes as a name. She merrily calls the Doctor "dad." Jenny shows herself to be a remarkable soldier, implanted with all the instincts and history knowledge she needs for combat, much to the [[Technical Pacifist]] Doctor's aggravation. Line 27: Perhaps justifiably, the Human General tries to shoot the Doctor. Jenny steps in front of him, [[Taking the Bullet]], and dies in her dad's arms. The Doctor has the chance to shoot the General in revenge but doesn't. Instead, he demands that "this world of Human and Hath" be founded on "the Man Who Never Would" harm another soul. After a few minutes of waiting for regeneration, a heartbroken Doctor, Martha and Donna leave. Donna notes "I guess she wasn't enough of your daughter." To which he replies "No. She was too much like me." Traveling back to Earth, Martha expresses her happiness at not being involved in any more death and destruction and warns Donna about the dangers of companionship. Donna laughs it off, and she and the Doctor head back out into the wide galaxy, while Martha goes off to [[Torchwood/Recap/S2 E6/E06 Reset\|help out Torchwood Three for a while]]. Just before the credits roll, however, it turns out {{spoiler\|the Doctor didn't wait quite long enough. Jenny wakes up and, much like her father, rambles on for a few minutes as she takes the last spaceship on Messaline to head out and travel the stars.}} ---- Line 34: * [[Action Girl]]: Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, and Jenny. She was born to be a soldier and has the added advantage of being a Time Lady - what can you expect? * [[Actor Allusion]]: A complicated blend of this and [[Real Life Relative]]. [[Georgia Moffett]], who plays Jenny, is Fifth Doctor [[Peter Davison]]'s real-life daughter. [[Peter Davison]] is [[David Tennant]]'s favourite Doctor and pretty much the reason he became an actor in the first place. [[Georgia Moffett]] is now [[David Tennant]]'s wife. ** OR''Or'', as it's phrased on Georgia Moffett's page: [[Peter Davison\|A Doctor's daughter]] ~~[[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/S4 E6 The Doctors Daughter\|~~who played the Doctor's daughter]] [[David Tennant\|and then had the Doctor's daughter.]] If that sentence confused you, join the club. * [[After the End]]: Subverted. * [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: General Cobb. Given his age, either he was grown to that age or {{spoiler\|given its only been 7 days, you could speculate he's one of the original colonists and possibly one of the people who started the war in the first place. Given his hatred of the Hath, this could be a possibility.}} Line 64: * [[Not So Different]]: Jenny spends half the episode trying to convince the Doctor he's being a hypocrite. She's probably right. ** {{spoiler\|Her final scene has her steal a ship and run away to the stars. Sound '' familar''?}} * [[Opposite ~~Sex~~Gender Clone]]: Jenny * [[Punny Name]]: Donna bases the name "Jenny" off the Doctor's "genetic anomaly" comment. * [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: In order to get through the generations in the time stated each generation needs to have lasted {{spoiler\|about ''four minutes''}} and that is assuming 24 hour non stop combat, which is not what we see. Line 87: * [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Jenny. ** {{spoiler\|Its worth noting, if the date 60120724 is 24th July 6012, this is a full 1000 years after we know various races have access to time travel, so Jenny concievably could be ''anywhere'' by now.}} ~~----~~ ~~<<\|[[Doctor Who/Recap\|Doctor Who]]\|>~~ {{reflist}} [[Category:Recap]] [[Category:Doctor Who]]▼ [[Category:Doctor Who/Recap]] ▲[[Category:~~Doctor Who~~{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
