I actually enjoyed this one regardless of the HUGE volumes of flaws and the obvious introduction of teeny timelord.
Well I prefered it to the sontaran debacle if thats anything to go by.

I have to go with Hal on this one. It's the first episode I've felt was crap. Hopefully next week's will be better.

Hopefully having the character of Agatha Christie on next week could make things interesting. Get the show back to the classic Doctor mysteries.

I turned it off when Martha was trying to help the hath with his injury.
After his daughter was not really his daughter I was lost. Thought they were going to do an actual serious deep thing where he had been a bit naughty in the past and now felt guilty and wanted to protect her because she would be the last of his line and the line of the timelord. But instead they did the whole 'well she isnt but she is because insert technobable exposition here reason'
God I miss torchwood.
Next weeks looks ok though, hopefully will get me to watch all the episode lol

Thought this one was OK, despite the extra suspension of disbelief needed for most of it.
Next week's...meh. I always thought it made sense to have the Doctor encountering recognisable historical figures, but it feels more like they think they can educate the kids rather than think there's a good story in it.

Next weeks looks awful and is sure to be some BBC education lesson;
Doctor "What book are you writing at the moment Agatha?"
Agatha Christie "I call it Ten Little...."
Aliens land suddenly and kill everyone on the lawn outside.
Doctor "And then there were none..."

The episode had some problems, but it also had some good bits.
I thought Catherine Tate was much better, as good as she was in part 1. She made appropriate witty remarks but didn't go OTT.
The hath were a clever idea and a strange original design. Wasn't sure exactly why the TARDIS didn't translate their language though. The death of Hath Peck was sadder then the death of Jenny IMO.
Jenny herself was OK, she had that companion fiestyness. Obviously she was going to have to die, and since the Doctor had stated before that his family were all dead it was pretty likely she wouldn't be his "real" daughter.
The regeneration thing is difficult to shed light on. She wasn't 100% like him so she couldn't do eveything he can do. She's effectively a processed human with Time Lord DNA, or half Time Lord like Peter Cushing's Doctor in the old movies (it was never mentioned if Cushing's Doc could regenerate or not).
Also Gallifrean society is slightly unclear. As far as I know not every citizen of Gallifrey could regenrate, only those granted with a TARDIS and who had gone through the training or ritual and mentioned at the end of last series.
Also I think a Time Lord must be within the vicinity of a TARDIS or the Eye of Harmony in order to regenerate. I far as I know whenever the Doctor has regenerated he has either been in the TARDIS or whithin the range of Time Lord technology.
Jenny was part Time Lord and didn't have a TARDIS and at the point of recovery was not near to one. Maybe she can simply recover like Jack Harkness instead of regenrate.
Seems likely she's being used for a spin-off, or as a shelved backup to bring out when they eventually kill off the Doctor.

She was made entirely from the Doctor's DNA, that makes her full Galifeyan in my book.
As for the healing at the end, I've sorta got some clarification on that. She's only just been "born" as it were, she's in the first day or so of her life. I think her healing at the end is like the Doctor regrowing his hand on Christmas day when he was in the first so many hours of his new regeneration.

Not really clarification unless you have seen a script from a future episode?

Well, not clarification, but it's a pretty good theory.

Indeed, it is a good theory. Although I bet the writer didn't think fo that at the time

I agree with you guys, it is a good theory but I'm not so sure about the writer not thinking about it. The Doctor's hand was quite prominent in the Tardis scenes perhaps it was emphasised for the clever viewers to put 2+2*2 together? Remember that RTD has a team weaving the history, backstory and any ongoing arc(s) together, there are not many inconsistencies in Who.

Perhaps not, but it wouldn't suprise if RTD said "Bring her back to life, we need her for some future thing. The fans will come up with various excuses for her to be alive"

Sorry, no official confirmation of anything, just a theory really.
I just wanted to use fancy words.
